Oakes made no effort to heave to. and
II was some time before Second Mate
Abrams could signal to the rescucrs
that they were too short.han to
either lower a boat or handle the ship
properly. Help had to be effected
through transferring line $50 fathoms
long and two and one-half inches thick.
After a great deal Of hard work to
avoid danger OF collision. the Kasbck
was rendered almost as helpless as the
vessel she attempted to succor. The
transferring line had wound Itself
around the tail-shaft of Captain Mulr's
boat and would not uncoii. Nothing
could be done until the nuts were
lcoscned and turned back enough to
allow the tail-shalt to be pushed out
ward an inch and a half. The space
thus made was filed with oakbOard
and the nuts screwed back In place.
1t took eight hours to do this. Mean
while the Cakes had 'drifted away
from her rescuers. In the afternoon OF
Tuesday the Kasbek again started to
look for her. aud at O that night she
was sighted. Captain Muir signaled
her that he would stand by. When the
storm abated fresh provisions were
sent to the Oakes. Another attemp
was made to send haws,r aboard thu
Cakes, this time with success. The tw'
vessels reached Sandy Hook withou
further mishap.

Ellicott says: One seldom thinks. when

Ing year In and year out through all
weathers. Generally there for each
light only n keeper with two ASSISTANTS,
ana often the keeper Is assisted only by
his wife, sons. or daughters. Even the
most comfortably situated lighthouses
are generally on lonely headlands, with
no human dwelling near. Others are
on outlying rocks. or Islands swept by
the sea. and wholly cut of from the
land except In fair weather. There
are even n few which. built upon sunk.

Of the ocean, and against which storm.

are the Eddystone Lighthouse. off the
coast OfsEnsiand at the entrance to
the English Channel. and our own
Minot's Ledge Light. near the entrance
to Boston HarbOr. These two are the
most isolated and exposed lighthouses
In the world. They were built at thu
utmost peril to human life. Each wal
swept away by storms after compile
