The Day's Work

The Day's Work by Rudyard Kipling contains The Bridge-Builders, A Walking Delegate and The Ship That Found Herself. The contents also list The Tomb of His Ancestors, The Devil and the Deep Sea, William the Conqueror, The Maltese Cat, An Error in the Fourth Dimension and The Brushwood Boy.

In The Bridge-Builders, Findlayson, of the Public Works Department, has endured heat and cold, disappointment, discomfort, danger, and disease while the great Kashi Bridge over the Ganges has grown under his charge. Findlayson hurries over the bridge and meets Hitchcock, and a reply says to call the roll, sit on your hunkers and pray for the bridge. The Ship That Found Herself describes a cargo-steamer of twenty-five hundred tons on her first voyage, the very best of her kind and the outcome of forty years of experiments and improvements in framework and machinery. 007 covers one hundred and fifty-six miles in two hundred and twenty-one minutes.
