This is what I wrote about that coaling, the next day. " It was the most abominable coaling I have ever taken part in, and I have done 192 since the war started. An ugly great whelp of a collier came along- side (it was of course dark), and after a great deal of juggling we found that we could just use three or four holds, by landing the foremost hoist on the forecastle. " Her derricks were not long enough, and B and myself were unable to get hoists from our holds over the ship's boat-deck. Eac...h hoist as it came up had to be pulled in by the party inboard, and released at the critical moment by the winch-man in the collier. This entailed very nice judgment on his part, and it was absolutely essential to success that he should be able to watch the hoist the whole time. " The mate of the collier told me that ' she had come by an accident, and that the exhaust steam-pipes from her winches were a little defective. ' He lied her winches had no exhaust pipes at all, they had been broken off at the scuppers.
