ship is painted upon it's side in colossal
white letters.
One of the most powerful and curious
lights in Swim street is known as the
Maplin Light. 1t stands at the edge
Of the dangerous fiat known as the
Maplin and Foulness sands. These are
sands dry at low water. and extend for
seventeen miles along the coast. IT
was found impossible to build solid ma
sonry upon the shifting surface, and so
the famous Maplin Light has been built
upon an enormous erection of piles.
1t is one of the most conspicuous
sights in Swim street, for it appears to
be rising straight up out of the middle
OF the sea. The light is what is known
as a red "occulting" light. Every half
minute 1t is hidden by a revolution of
the lantern behind a steel shutter.
There are many of these occulting
ilghts IN SWIM street, and it is often a
welcome sight to see one of them flash
out or the dark, explaining with abso
lutte certainty the exact position of the
snip IN the channel. The smallest
lights OF all the many colored illumina-
tlons are those at the heads of the
puoys which mark out the various safe
passages for ships. These burn night
and day, and the light is produced from
ordinary gas. The great buoys. naany
of them from fifteen to twenty feet
high, are hollow and filled with gas
WHICH burns continually in lamp at
the top.
OFTEN the traveller in Swim street may
see curious slowly moving vessel with
a great tank on the deck, moving from
buoy to buoy. This is the gas boat
