Occupation of loading and unloading ships.
1
The government men were hauling a sodden docker from the polluted waters.
2
The docker stared at him-washe going to sleep on his feet?
3
Deer Janis, you got me the muney for the docker.
4
In full work a docker at the old 7d.
5
The man who had occupied this hole, one Dan Cullen, docker, was dying in hospital.
1
He was built like a greyhound with the shoulders of a stevedore.
2
For twenty years he had fought nothing bigger than a drunken stevedore.
3
I had it from the stevedore, who has been loading their cargo.
4
One third of the American stevedore force in Europe was Negro.
5
Well, if this ain't fortunate. The stevedore's services were required for Mammy Easter.

He got beaten every day, in fact, just like every other longshoreman.
2
This was followed by a moment of silence, then a longshoreman's bellow.
3

2
Perhaps he'd been a dockworker in Miiska before the warehouse burned down.
3
The suspect was named Mateo Judd, a dockworker with an unspectacular criminal record.
4
A dockworker might reasonably show up to an impromptu meeting sweaty and disheveled.
5
He knew he had been the target, not that dockworker.
1
By the end of the week he was a transient lumper on a river steamboat.
2
The best work, when he could get it, was being a lumper down on the wharves.
3
Of course, it must be remembered that along with such frivolous occupations I was trying to get work as wop, lumper, and roustabout.
4
Let an Englishman exchange his bread and beer, and beef, and mutton, for no breakfast, for a lukewarm lumper at dinner, and no supper.
5

How would you know what a wharf rat looks like?
2
I told you, I wasn't wearing my spectacles and he looked just like a wharf rat runnin' through the kitchen.
3
He couldn't tell the world that Mr. Wharf Rat was a thief.

Sometimes these wharf rats are captured in the act, when fierce fights ensue.

The Hannah was a river boat and not a dive for wharf rats.
