aStolen the lens from the beacon off
Hatteras!' exclaimed the official of the
lighthouse board last evening. "Pshaw!
that is nothing. Those fellows would
steal whole lighthouse if they could
lug it off. We had case of similar
sort nearer me.about four years ago.
The whistle disappeared from the buoy
on the Brigantine shoals and was sent
down to replace it with new one. I
took with me kit of tools to drill out
the thread in case it had been broken
off: I hired boat and went out to the
buoy, fourteen miles off shore. To my
surprise the thread was intact. The
whistle had been unscrewed and quiet
ly dropped overheard in six or eight
fathoms of water. A government de-
tectiye was sent down and stayed for
weeks among the fishermen along the
! beach, bu. he did not unearth any clue

to the perpetrator, and the reward of
$400 that was offered for the recovery
of the whistle and information leading
to the conviction of the miscreant who
removed it was alike imperative. This
lens, which throws the light of the bea-
con for distance around, was removed
just previous to the last storm, and it
was no doubt done in the hope that the
beach would be strewn with wrecks.
This beacon, you Elust reoollect, is only
quarter of mile from the southern
extremity OF Cape Hatteras Point and
is used by coasting vessels as guide
through the Slne Channel-a danger
ous bit of navigation. But the scoun-
drels who do this internal work are too
cunning to be easily caught"
