The signal drill wns II very neat and in

code of signals with which all lifc-snyint

tclllgiblc to every Captain, whether

Clemens gave the letters to ono of tho
men, who wrote then out. The signals

Then the Captain announced the namc
hy another series of ilngs or sigIlnls and
he answer was Immediately given.
The correspondent bore Tho honor
mcckly, but it, is doubtful if the Fi'ce Pres,
in nil its worldwide journcyings over had
iIa name recorded before by the intcrna-
lional signal code. When the Inspector
had satisfied himself with tho service Of
'hc crew at the lifc-Slving station of the
nlnth district, and il il generally con-
rcdcd that this is one Of the best in tina
service, he gave them few points for
future reference and showed them how To
light the beautiful COsion signals which
burn like Roman candles, blue and rcd,
Tor beach or signal light mt night to
warn vessels seen standing into danger
and 10 alarm tho station. There is "A
patent arrangement in the wooden holdcr
of the light which igniics IL percussion
cap. The Inspector showed them how
they could light the camille by mitch.
when the handle would not work readily.
Small rs this detail may seem, it might
be I'M important factor in the life-saving
service. There Is II inan in the look-ou
lower mt the station day and night The
bench is patroled from sunset to sunrise,
one man going TO the left and ono to the

patrol lantern ard the Cotton signals. At
certain distance of from five TO seven
miles of the station is patrol post, in
which is secured key to mark the tino

and which registers The exact moment
when he was at The post.
