the lonely watches of The deep-how
little is known of them by the public!
One who has never spent night on
lightship can form no idea of the or
deal through which these alert watch
ers pass the greater part of the year.
For the men of the lightships there
are no holidays. On Christmas as on
any other night a gale may be blow
ing the top off the water, the light
ships hull may be sheathed in ice,
and ice may have formed so high
above the bulwarks that the crew has
to chop holes in it to keep lookout.
The man on watch may be obliged
to stand far forward, tolling the fog
bell. Juggling away at the Recovered
bell-rope the cold seas tumbling over
him with every plunge Of the light
ship and snow and sleet flying about
him, while the gale is whistling
through the rigging-a pleasant way
that for a keeper to pass the night,
thinking of the loved ones at home,
of whom he has not heard since he
went aboard in October.
Let us see how the crew of the
Overfalls Lightship, at the Delaware
Capes, 102 miles away, spent part Of
one New Years day. There had been

RECORD RUN TO KANSAS CITY
Wabash Train Makes Trip in Five
Hours and Fifty Minutes.

Wabash train No. 9, fast mail be-
tween st. Louis and Kansas City,
made a recordbreaking run from St.
Louis to Kansas City Sunday after.
noon.
The schedule time for starting is
1920 p. NJ, and the regular time for
the run is seven hours and ten mir
utes. No. 8 started one hour late,
lost twenty minutes on the way and
pulled into Kansas City on time, max
ing the run in five hours and fifty
minutes, five minutes faster than any
previous record.
There was a full equipment of
mail car, combination car, chair car
and diner. At many places along the
route the train showed a speed of
seventy miles an hour, and between
Mexico and Montgomery City a mile
a minute was reeled off. The dis
lance is twenty-four miles, and it took
just twenty-four minutes to make the
trip.
The train was in charge of Con-
ductor j. S. Gould. The engineer was

made out 1t was a raft, with a dark
spot on 1t. Out Of the rigging he
squirmed and shouted down the hatch
to the berth deck: Cali hands on
deck!"
Strange as 1t may seem, If vessel
were laundering in full view Of a
lightship, and her people struggling in
the water, it would be the lightsh'
crews duty to stay on the lightship
and let them sink, for lightships
guard such important points that there
is a regulation of the Lighthouse
Board prohibiting a lightship crew or
any member Of 1t from leaving the
ship unless regularly relieved.
Do they follow these instructions on
lightships? Is that what the crew Of
the Overfalls lightship did that New
Years morning?
Not they. The sea was RUNNING
high, and 1t was question If, with
the lightship rolling so, boat could
be lowered without being smashed

Delaware Breakwater, while the coast
is plentifully supplied with range
lights. 1t is agreed that no part OF the
coast is better lighted than the course
between New York and Boston. From
Long Island Sound. even past Newport
they flash and sparkle in all directions.
Fourteen lightships, including the one
on Nantucket Shoals, can be seen be-
tween the metropolis and Boston.
Turning to light vessels, the purpose
of such ships is to do the work of
lighthouse in a place where jagged
rocks and hidden shoals make 1t i'm
possible to successfully erect a SUBJ
stantial structure. There are now in
operation forty-fve lightships and
1882 lighthouses and beacon lights.
The large, strong craft are anchored
in the open sea, buffeted about by
storms and in constant peril of part
ing cables.
The men who man the lightships
and keep guard in the lighthouses

against the hull. But at last the boat
was swung out and hung right over
the sea. "R-r-r' went the falls" as
the slack ran out the boat touched
the water with an even keel, and a
moment later was cast off and head
ing for the raft that was tossing far
off against the gray sky.
They had to pull right in the teeth
of gale that dashed spray over them
like cold bullets. At last the captain
shouted, STEADY ALL" When the
boats crew turned this was what they
saw: A small raft made of few
spars and hatchway grating. On his
back lay sailor clutching rope with
one hand. The water was frozen
over his fingers, his clothing was
sheathed with ice. His CLASSY stare
was fixed on the sky. He was dead.
Unlike city toilers, the men who
man the ships and guard the light
houses are not expected to take a
vacation. Their work is of such an
important nature that Uncle Sam is
10th to let them off. OF course, it is
recognized that the strain of constant
watching is too much for the human
frame to endure, 50, during the sum.
mer months, a leave of two weeks Is
granted. Many of the keepers of light
houses and lightships are married and
live at their posts with their families.
There are always three men to every
such station. They are graded as
head keeper, first and second assist.

It is matter of dispute when guild
Ing lights first came into use. 1t is
recounted that light was placed on
a tower of the temple to Apollo, on
Mt. Leucas, which, visible far out at
sea, warned and guided mariners"
The famous Pharos of Alexandria
built about 2S5 b. c., is the first light
Of undoubted record. Other lights
were shown from towers at Ostia, Ra-
VIENNA, Apamea and other places men,
toned by Pliny, Suetonius and By
zantinus. The lighthouse built at Co.
runna, Spain, during the reign Of Ira
jan, is believed to be the oldest ex-
listing light tower.
A trip along the Atlantic coast will
give one practical idea Of the elabor-
ate system operated by the United
States for the safety of mariners.
Lonely sentinels. towering high above
the sea, constantly on the alert to
flash the warning signal to the sailor
in fog and darkness, can be seen from

Were Not All Lucky.

A lady who advertised recently IN
a London paper for the recovery of a
lost lucky sixpence in certain street,
on a certain day, had over 30 lucky
slxpences offered her in reply-the
owners stating that they had been
found at the place and time men
toned. The lady then found that she
had not lost her lucky sixpence at all
she had only mislaid it.

Eastport all the way along the -
lantic to the Florida reefs.
One Of the most interesting lights
on the New England coast is Minot's
Ledge, which marks the entrance to
Boston harbor. 1t stands on the same
spot where stood the old Minot light,
swept away in the storm of 1851, in
which the keepers lost their lives.
The present structure ranks among
the great searock lighthouses of the
world. This tower, buffeted. by wind
and wave, looms up through the lone
ly dark hours while storms blow and
seas dash themselves against its base,
flashing a signal that can be seen for
sixteen miles. The light is manipu-
lated by an ingenious piece OF clock
work. 1t shines once, then there Is
an eclipse of three seconds; then 1t
flashes three times, and, having told
its number, there is an interval OF
darkness until the number is repeat
ed. In the recent terrific storms that
swept the New England coast many
a sailor took heart again on seeing
the light on Minot's Ledge.
Probably the most exposed light
house on the Atlantic coast is the
outer Diamond Shoal, off Cape Hat
teras. This house is seven and one
half miles from the pitch of the cape
in the open ocean. Many brave mari
ners have gone down to death off this
light, their ships dashed to pieces on
the treacherous reefs and the keepers
of the lighthouse unable to render
them assistance.
Along the Florida coast stands an
important lighthouse, built by Gen.
Meade on Collins Patches on Som
brero Key, about fifty miles east of
Key West. 1t is in eight feet Of water
and gives a range light of over twen-
ty statute miles. Another interesting
beacon is the Fowey Rocks Light
house, built on the extreme northern
point of the Florida reefs. 1t is much
exposed to the elements, and regard
ed as a dangerous post for keepers.

world is the one that flashes its rays
through modern lenses on the Nave
sink Highlands. This light, according
to the manufacturers, throws a beam
having a candle-power Of 90,O0O,OOO,
as compared with candle-power OF
10000, 900 at the new electric flash
light tower recently constructed by
the German government on the island
of Heligoland. The line of keys which
fringe the Florida coast from the
Fowey rocks to Dry Tortugas is
marked by a continuous band of red
light furnished by a series OF light
houses provided with red sectors,
whose rays intersect.
Mariners have no fear Of storms
out at sea, providing they have good
vessel under them and plenty Of room
IN move about. 1t is when nearing
land and the flash Of beacon light
warns them that treacherous reefs
abound in the vicinity that the most
anxious time begins. 1t is then that
the flash from the lighthouse is watch
cd with ever-increasing vigil.

,ts entrance-are three lightships,
