In searching for lightships that have
broken adrift the Azalea follows In the
wake of the storm that swept them
away and II the missing ships have
not obtained too great start the
Azalea usually overtakes them.
Putting supplies aboard the light
ships is perhaps the most hazardous
of all work that the crew OF the light
house tender are called upon TO do.
II is only 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 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

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 II 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.

! Protecting Ships Along the Rocky Coast Of the East sE|

Moving ice fields are the worst enc
my OF the buoys. When the ice field
starts before a strong wind IL usually
carries every buoy within its grasp
with 1t, releasing them when the open
sea Is reached and the ice begins to
break up.
The Azalea, when a buoy is sighted
in the ice, plows her way through the
field IL 1t is possible to do so and. max
ing fast the buoy, placed 1t on her deck
and is again of 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 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 1t 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
water.
The whistling buoy consists OF an
iron pear-shaped bulb about IL feet
across at the widest part and floating
about IL feet out OF the water. Inside
the bulb is tube 33 inches across, ex-
tending from the top through the bot

for the crew was capsized and lost,
together with all its contents. in the
attempt to board the lightship.
Reaching the lightships along the
sound and on the shoals is a 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
Enc OF the Cape.
The periious task which the crew
o, the Azalea are often called upon TO
perform in replacing hunys in position
brings forcibly to notice the vital i'm
portance of buoys along the coast.

The bcoy service has shown a most
remarkable growth during the last
decade, there being about 5000 buoys
in the several districts under control

The buoys used in the lighthouse
service are of wood or iron. The

can and ice buoy. The nun buoy is
almost conical in form, while the can
buoy is in the shape of the frustum OF
a cone nearly approaching a cylinder.
The ice buoy closely resembles the
wooden spar buoy, of great length,
slight thickness, and of the largest
diameter near the middle.
Buoys are exposed To the danger of
being run down, which frequently
happens along the coast, where there
are countless number of them an
chored. Having air-tight compart-
ments the buoys are rarely sunk by
being run down. but often they are
so seriously damaged by being ripped
open by steamers and sailing vessels
striking them that their usefulness is
lost.
II Spar buoys are often rendered use-
less by being cut down by the pro-
peilsr blades OF passing steamers.

open at its lower end but projecting
alright through the top OF the bulb
and is closed with a plate having in II
three holes, two for letting the air into
the tube and one between these for
letting the air out TO work the 10-inch
locomotive whistle with which the
buoy is surmounted.
The great bulb which buoys up the
whole mass rises and falls with the
motion OF the waves carrying the tube
up and down with it and establishing
a piston and cylinder movement, the
water IN the tube acting as an immoy-
able piston. while the tube itself acts
as moving cylinder. The air admitted
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 II 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.
