English Lightships.

Roughly speaking, lightships are
only used where it is impossible or
inexpedient-on account of the shift
ing nature of the shoal-to build per-
manent lighthouses, and the first one
to be placed in position was the
woll-known More, in the year 1882. At
the present time there are GO round
the British coasts. The English
lights are painted red, and those on
the Irish coast black, with the name
in huge white letters on both sides.
At the mast head there is a large
wooden globe or cage called the day
mark. The lantern encircling the
mast is about 10 feet high. and con
tains a number of argand lamps and
reflectors, 81 inches in diameter. ar
ranged in groups on a frame, which
beautifully regulated clockwork ap.
paratus causes to revolve, and the re.
suit is those brilliant flashes of light
which practically spell the name of
the light vessel to passing ships, for
every light has some distinguishing
characteristic. either in the period
or color of the fash.
Even when the lightship is rolling
or pitching in n heavy sea the light
remains horizontal, as the lamps Gnd
reflectors are hung on gimbals. so as to
give them free play in all directions.
Foggy weather entails additional
work for all hands. as powerful fog
