Mr. LALOR.
It is somewhat novel to find large vessels of this kind loading coal with baskets. I have seen a good many boats of various kinds, but I have yet to see a boat that you could not load by some other means than by carrying with baskets, and I would like to ask the minister to explain it.
f Mr. PREFONTAINE. If the hon. gen-'tleman will allow me-he is under a completely wrong impression. We do not load these boats with coal ; they are not colliers, we load the bunkers.
