open at its lower end but projecting
alright through the top Of the bulb.
n Is closed with a plate having in it
three holes, two for letting the air into
the tube and n between these for
letting the air out to work the 1O-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 immov-
able piston, while the tube itself acts
as a 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 1t Is further compressed and
forced through a pipe which at its apex
connects with the whistle.
In the h%arbors, rivers and lakes the
bell buoys are found, while the hip
whistling buoys are located in the omen
sea and roadsteads.
The gas buoys are one Of the most
valuable aids to navigation. They are

buoys are classified by length and
thickness. and then acquired color,
but are interchangeable within these
conditions.
All iron buoys are made hollow,
with air-tight compartments and are
made of three shapes, called the nun,
a 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 par buoy, OF great length,
slight thickness, and of the largest
diameter ear the middle.
Buoys are exposed to the danger Of
being u down, which frequently
happens along the coast, where there
are a countless number of them an
chored. Having alright compart-
ments the buoys are rarely sunk BY
being run down, but often they are
SO seriously damaged by being ripped

When the %lightships that are scat
tered along the Massachusetts coast
and are anchored away out on Nan
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 il possible and bring them back
and place them on the identical spot
from which they have been torn away.
The crew of the Azalea never know
There are certain days when they are

There are certain days when they are
supposed to go out and take a peep at
and other times when they are expect
ed to run alongside the lightships and
put supplies aboard, but this work is
governed by the weather conditions,
and 1t cannot be carried u with any
degree of regularity.
The breaking adrift of the lightships
IL 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 to those on board,
dragged their mudhooks during the
gale.

for the crew was capsized and lost,
together with all it's 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 II under the sea along the coast
line of the Cape.
The pcriicus task which the crew
OF the Azalea are often called upon 10
perform in replacing hunys in position
brings forcibly to notice the vital m
portance Of buoys along the coast.
These b"oys are to the navigators by
day wh.. the beacons scattered along
the coast are at night, and the fog sig
nails are when . neither lights nor
buoys a 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 Loytuous
channels.
The buoy service has shown a most
remarkable growth during the last
decade, there being about 5000 buoys
in the several districts under control
of the lighthouse board.
The buoys used in the lighthouse
service are Of wood or iron. The
wooden buoys are sticks Of from about

Moving ice fields are the worst enc
my of the buoys. When the ice field
starts before a strong wind 1T 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 Azalea, whep a buoy is slghtea
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 it's way to the coast
of Ireland after a voyage OF b SIX
weeks. The buoy was swept adrift by
a 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

class cost about $500. They are so feet
