Northeast End lightship. holding in her
forecastle a sick man, to whose succor
the lighthouse tender Zizania, with a
physician aboard, is fastening at top

News that a doctor was needed on
the lightship reached here Monday from
New York, where the fact was reported
by Captain Hulphers, of the Old Domin-
ion steamship Monroe.
Distress signals were fyinAfrom the
lightship, which is off the Delaware
Capes, when the Monroe passed her on
Sunday. On account of the heavy seas
the Monroe was unable to get close
enough to hail the lightship. In sea
talk, accomplished by using international
code signals, the lightship said to the
Monroe:
Have sickness aboard. Want relief.
Please report to Philadelphia"
AS soon as the Zizania could get
ready she began her trip to the light
ship. She will probably come alongside
the craft before morning. Aboard the
lightship are eight men.
