LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER
ACTED HERO'S PART,
Deserted by Assistant, He Worked

New York. Nov. 1.-OIe Anderson. the
keeper Of the Orient light on Plum Island.
In Long Island Sound, has proved himself
q hero Deserted by his assistant, alone
and unaided. he tended the light for ten
days, working night and day during tha.
long stretch.
His provisions ran short, and to his s,f-
feIings from lack of rest were added tho
poignant pansS Of hunger. He was almose

gan his long vigil there In HIS work In
the lighthouse. he was aided by Terrence
Rfordan, but Rlordan took the only boat
and rowed ashore one week ago last Thurs
day. He has not been seen since and no
trace of him or OF the boat has been found
To keep the lights burning required tho
entire attention of one man during the
night. and it was 4 days work to prepare
them for lighting. BY taking turns the
two men had managed to get sufficient rest.
When Riordan deserted the entire work
fell on Anderson. He manfully shouldered
the task. for he had no other choice
He knew, too. that severe penalty wan
attached to the w1llfu, desertion Of a nxht-
house. but 1t was not fear OF the law that
imDelled the faithful keeper. He realized
that on him depended the safety Of the nu-
merous vessels passing all along the Sound.
and he stuck to his work until exhaustion
caused him to stasger as he made his
rounds.
When his provisions ran short he reversed
the American flag and hoisted It over the
lighthouse. but none Of the passing vessels
took the least notice Of It.
1t was not until Sunday afternoon that .
farmer strol!inS along the beach of thu
mainland saw the flag with the union
down. He procured q boat and rowed to
the lighthouse. Anderson. when he saw him
coming. fell on his knees In THANKSGIVING.
Two men were sent with provisions soma
time later. and after Anderson had In
