and then made a dash for Corbyn,
seeking by his impact to force the chief
out of danger. But the run was too
long, and in another second the wall
had fallen with crash.
A cry of horror went up as the men
saw their chief and another figure
buried beneath the WreckaSe 1t was
beyond human possibility to approach
the place, and all they could do was
to throw a heavy stream of water en
the mass in hopes that the bodies at
least might be recovered when the nre
should have been vanquished.
The instant after the crash, Dan rub
bed the plaster from his eyes. He had
a most curious sensation, as OF q man
who should be dead and find that he
is not. His head swan with the noise
and shock, so that for minute he
could not think intelligently or con-
nectedly.

but he was alive. In the realization OF
the horrible position in which he was
placed, he lost all sense of feeling to
bodily pain.
At his feet was Chief Corbyn, uncon-
scious and breathing heavily. Almost
by a miracle the huge steel Orders, IN
falling, had formed a framework about
them, sustaining the weight of tons OF
debris. To escape seemd impossible.
They had been saved from being crush
ed to death only to be suffocated. Dan
gritted his teeth in mental agony.
Then above the cracking OF names
he caught the sound of running water

UNCLE SAM AS
A LAMPLIGHTER
Every Evening at Dusk He Must kndIe the Flames in
Twelve Hundred Lighthouses, Forty-six Lghtships and
More Than Two Thousand Buoys and Post Lanterns.

Among the many queer occupations
that are followed by your Uncle Sam
is that of lamplighting.
If you could be high overhead late
some afternoon-so high that the Unit
ed States would be like map below
you-it would be a wonderful and
beautiful sight that you would see
with the arrival of dusk. 1t would
be just as if some mighty Aladdin had
rubbed his lamp and his obedient
geniis had instantly set flashing stars
along all the coasts and the big wa
ter courses of America.
If Uncle Sam ever were to become
weary or forgetful, and were to neg
glect his lamplighting for just one
night or even a few hours in any one
night, it might mean the drowning of
hundreds, perhaps thousands, of trav-
clers and sailors and the loss of mil
lions of dollars worth of ships and
cargo. For Uncle Sans lamplighting
is the kindling of the flames in more

clean out the ocean bed, hoist 1t into
the air and deposit it neatly ON deck.
Most of these boats are sidewheelers.
They differ from other sidewheelers be-
cause their paddle boxes are far astern,
leaving plenty of room for the bow,
which often sticks high out of the
water. This is done to give the tenders
ample room for carrying the big buoys
and spars and other things needed by
the lighthouse men.
When the lighthouse boats came to
be named somebody with a pretty
fancy gave them the names of Ameri-
can flowers and plants and trees. So
the big fleet has these pretty names:
Lilac Myrtle, Golden Rod, Maple, May
flower Azalea, Verbena, Hazel, Mistle-
toe, Rose, Nettle, Gardenia, Cactus.

than 1900 lighthouses, 46 lightships,
and more than 1000 buoys and lanterns
in harbors and rivers.
Uncle Sam lights his lamps in all
sorts of ways and in all sorts of
places. Some of them are nothing
but common lanterns fixed on poles
that are driven deep into the bed of
a shoal on the edge of a channel.
Others are real machine shops with
steam boilers and electric dynamos
to kindle a light that shall shine for
more than thirty miles out to sea.

the queerest of sailors-always out at

buzzing sensation in his head, and as
he felt the strain of Corbyn's weight
the buzzing changed to a disagreeahle
swapping. One leg which had been
numb now came to life again, and
something warm, something that was
not water trickled down his leg into
his boot. But somehow he dragged his
chief to the wall. AS he swung his
arms through the iron support an odd
sensation overcame him. What was
the use anyhow? 1t would be so much
easier to sit down. If he sat down and
rested he was quite sure his eyes
would close and he would forget that
nasty swapping in his head. But no!
There wasCorbyn, his chief! Something
was wrong with Corbyn. He must get
his chief to the ambulance surgeon
then-O! never mind what then!
The drop was only IA feet-14 steps
but three times he had to fight off
that awful inclination to sit down
down-and rest.
When at last his feet were in the
water the current almost carried him
away. The heavy stream had flushed
the sewage, and had cleared the air of
foul gases. 1t was the chill of cellar,
instead of the usual humid, stagnant
atmosphere. Slowly he made his way,
crouching down to avoid striking the
roof, and yet taking care that Chief
Corbyn's head did not go below the
surface of the water, which ran waist
high
At last he struck another we'll and
felt anXiously for the steps. Half way

self, he hooked the latter's belt into
the first rung, then slowly and la
boriously drew himself up. He hung
onto each step with the energy of de-
spair and at last summoning every
particle of strength at his command,
he made one final, superhuman effort
and raised the cover of the man-hole
with his back.
A policeman ran forward and lifted
off the iron weight. Eager hands
raised him, bruised and bleeding, to
the surface.
