ed.

His Lordship:You are pointing out an entry which states that fish freezes at minus 15 degrees F? Yes.

You take that to imply that latent heat is not extracted until that temperature is reached?-That is

correct.

Commenting that he wanted to clear up Mr. Rasey's position, Mr. Potter remarked they would stick to fish for the moment.

Mr. Rasey: You catch 'em and

I'll freeze 'em.

Mr. Potter: I would rather do the catching.

Witness explained that once the temperature had been reduced suf ficiently to extract latent heat, fish could be stored in a temperature up to 18 degrees 29 there would be no return of latent heat at that, tem- perature,

With regard to poultry, he said, their freezing point was between zero and ten degrees but he could not say at what point the latent heat commenced to be extracted as there was divergence of opinion on the point.

Pleasure and Profit.

Mr. Potter:-Have you tried, as a matter of interest, to freeze fish? matter of interest but --Not as

as a matter of money.

That would be even more interest- ing. Pleasure and profit combined! Witness explained that if fish were put in a room of 16 degrees, with the latent heat not extracted, the fish would be soft, Dealing with eggs, Mr. Rasey said he calculated he could put 21,500 eggs in the room for that purpose to fill.

Mr. Potter:-I put it to you that you could store in that room, 3,000 halfpint bottles of milk as against your 2,880. and in addition, 1.500 lbs. of eggs?—I don't agree with that.

Mr. Rasey agreed that on Mr. Hacker's B. T. U. allowance with his witness's) load, it would take 14 days to bring the milk down to 20 degrees and Mr. Potter asked: Do you agree that that would be an unreasonable time for the re- duction of milk to the contractual lemperature?—Yes.

Why?Undoubtedly the milk would go bad. It would become butter milk.

Mr. Potter, with a smile:-We must have both been reared in the same country. In my country they call it sour milk.

Witness: They do in South America.

Mr. Potter:-It's not at all bad milk. I don't know if the hotel guests would appreciate it but it is not bad stuff at all.

Mr. Rasey, agreed that his figure was ten days.

Mr. Potter:-But it would be- come butter milk even before ten days were

Witness suggested that if the room was full a new load of milk could be placed in the spare room or corridor.

"Are you really serious about that?" asked counsel.

lieve the Castor on the China Station, is ordered to be com- missioned on July 15 with a Devonport crew for this service. She will leave Devonport 23 July 22, and is expected to arrive at Hongkong about September 15. The Caradoc has had "Yes," replied Mr. Rasey. We have fish.and milk there now. varied round of service as she was in the Grand Fleet during What kind of load would you put in the corridor for pre-cooling?-Ithe War and has since served in and on the would put in whatever load I had the Mediterranean

The Castor will return to Devon- port before the. Caradoc leaves.

Then if I take some milk out of the cold storage I can't put any other back until I have pre-cooled It.It is obvious then I must have a pre-cooling room? Yes.

Strange your.contract never sug- gested pre-cooling?-It did not so far as I can recall.

You can only suggest that you make use of the corridor?Yes, and the spare room.

You are serious about using the corridor?—Yes.

Dealing with fruit, witness said the maximum load of fresh fruit which could be put in the cold stor- age room was 60 cases. He could see no reason why local fresh fruit should not be put in the room at a temperature of 90 degrees. He was of the opinion that it would take 11.4 days to reduce the temperature of the fruit from 90 degrees to the contractual temperature of 34.

Mr. Potter: I put it to you that you would be able to reduce the fruit to the contractual temperature in 24 hours?-i don't agree with that. I put it to you that it is a mere farce to state 18 or 14 days-No, it is not a farce.

"Now we come to the vegetables, and it will finish this section of the cross-examination," Mr. Potter de-

clared.

"I hope so," was Mr. Rasey's comment. He said that five tons of potatoes, or the weight of any other kind of vegetable that would oc- cupy the space taken up by five tons of potatoes, was the maximum load the room would carry. It would take 30 days to reduce them from a contractual tempera- 90 deg. to ture, say 34 deg.

The hearing was adjourned until 10.30 a.m. on Monday..
