night in the lighthouse Saturday night. /

buckets suspended at the top of the I

not be used. The salt spray was car /
ried into the air over $50 feet, and was
mingled with the rainWater that fell in /
the buckets. From the top of the light
tower, several VenturesOme storm suf- /
ferers viewed the destructive work of /
the wind on Galveston island. Twelve /
dead bodies were recovered near the /
lighthouse.
