said: Bill. hear you are the worst

through the valves as the buoy rises
on the waves into that part OF the
bulb which is above water is COM
pressed and as the buoy falls with the
wave it is further compressed and
forced through pipe which at its apex
connects with the whistle.
In the harbors, rivers and lakes the
bell buoys are found, while the big
whistling buoys are located in the open
sea and roadsteads.
The gas buoys are one of the most
valuable aids to navigation. They are
coming into more general use each year
and are found to be of untold value
in marking sunken wrecks along the
coast.
These buoys, from the peculiar rays
Of light which they give at night, can
readily be distinguished from any other
kind of light on the water, and it is
rarely that they are mistaken for any
other kind. When exhausted they are
taken up by the Azalea and sent to be
retilled, another being placed in posi-
ton to do duty.

my of the buoys. When the ice field
starts before a strong wind it usually
carries every buoy within its grasp
with it, releasing them when the open
sea is reached and the ice begins to
break up.
The Aza1ea, when a buoy is sighted
in the ice, plows her way through the
field if it is possible to do SO and, max
ing fast the buoy, placed it on her deck
and is again off in search of other wan
dering guides to navigation that have
been swept adrift.
These drifting buoys have often been
passed in midocean and one buoy which
was torn from its moorings in New
York harbor found its way to the coast
of Ireland after a voyage of about six
weeks. The buoy was swept adrift by
large field of ice, and was carried
out into the bay so quickly that all at
tempts TO recover it were unavailing.
The iron ice buoys are made of boiler
iron, and the first-claSs buoys of this
class cost about $500. They are so feet
in length and stand % feet out of

of all work that the crew of the light
house tender are called upon to do.
1t is only a few years ago that
boats crew from the Azalea, while en-
gagged in unloading coal from their
boat to the Nantucket shoals lightship
had their boat sink under them, bare
ly giving them time to scramble
aboard the lightship.
This is only one of a number of in
stances when the lives of the crew of
the Azalea have been endangered and
that. too, within comparatively short
time. On the occasion of the recent
trip of the Azalea to the Nantucket
shoals ship. when Capt. Gibbs made
an effort to take Capt Jorgensen
ashore to attend his Capt. Jorgen-
sens daughters funeral, the boat
containing all the Christmas presents
for the crew was capsized and lost,

When the lightships that are scat
tered along the Massachusetts, coast
and are anchored away out on Nam
tucket shoals break adrift, it is the
men in the lighthouse tender Azalea
who are sent out to search for the
wandering ships, and they must find
them if possible and bring them back
and place them on the identical spot
from which they have been torn away.
The breaking adrift of the lightships
is not likely to occur however except
during very stormy weather and fol-
lowing these storms, the Azalea
makes a cruise of the sound, looking
for them Often the ships are found
to be still riding at anchor, but at
some considerable distance from the
place where they ought to be station
ed, having unawares to those on board,

The Azalea in case like this marks
the true position with a small buoy
and then tows the lightship back to
her station.

1t is just possible that this type OF
pvgmy negro which survives to-day in
the recesses of inner Africa may even
have overspread Europe in remote
times If it did, then the conclusion is
irresistible that it gave rise to most Of
the myths and beliefs connected with

together with all it's contents, in the
attempt to board the lightship.
Reaching the lightships along the
sound and on the shoals is difficult
and hazardous undertaking even in
good weather, owing to the myriads OF
shoals and sunken ships that stretch
far out under the sea along the coast
line Of the Cape.
The pcriious task which the crow
OF the Azalea are often called upon 10
perform in replacing hunys in position
brings forcibly to notice the vital iln-
portance of buoys along the coast.
These bnoys are to the Eavigators by

the coast are at night, ard the fog sig

buoys can be discerned.
These buoys tell the sailormen, by
their size, form, color, and number,
how to escape rocks and hidden shoals,
and are as a guide to the skipper who
is working his vessel in or out of a
narbor or through the most toy tuous

wooden buoys are sticks of from about
dozen to sixty feet long of cedar,
pine or spruce, preferably cedar. Spar
buoys are classified by length and
thickness, and then acquired color,
but are interchangeable within these
conditions.
Buoys are exposed to the danger of
being run down, which frequently
happens along the coast, where there
are countless number of them an

being run down, but often they are
