Some Erroneous Yarns.

There are several yarns attached to

mers. If asked what they would do if a
person started 10 struggle and caught
hold of them. frequently answer that
they would knock them out. Now. in the
first place il is impossible to hit a per-
son in a vulnerable spot when only the
tip OF his nose or the top of his head
shows above the water. Secondly. you
cannot steady yourself in the water TO
deliver a hard enough blow TO knock
person out You would only jeopardize
what little chance you had of saving
him by knocking him over sideways. or
sending him to the bottom
You have. no doubt. heard some time
or another that the way certain parties
learned to swim was by being pushed
into deep water by their big brothers, or
by the bully of the gang This tale bears
the same. st7 mp as the preceding one-a

Watches His Assistant Drown.

Another man 10 be left alone. but for

sound He sent his assistant ashore TO
secure supplies When the man returned
the seas were running very high and the
landing became a perilOus matter.
The little boat was brought within reach
Of a heaving line from the lighthouse
and the keeper made the throw. Letting
go his halyards. the assistant went for
ward to catch the line, which he tied to
the mast. and then turned to go aft
but at that instant the line parted, the
boat veered and the unfortunate man
plunged headlong into the sea. The
boat capsized and drifted away and the
Mortified keeper had 10 stand idly by
and watch his companion struggling for
life There was no other boat at the
lighthouse. and TO attempt to swim in
the heavy sea would have been sheer
suicide. The keeper had to watch the
man slowly drown.
For four days he was alone on the
lighthouse. Every time he looked out
across the water he could see in fancy
the white, despairing face Of the drown
ing man. or his battered body being
ground against the rocks. When the in

Wished TO Become Life-saver.

Once in a while liShtkeepers must be
strategists When Commander Nc
Crea was at the lightship on the IA
nous Diamond Shoals off Hatteras on
a recent tour Of inspection. he was
asked by the men If they might leave
their anchorage TO go TO the help of a
vessel in distress. The law says that
a nghtship must stay fast IN the one
place. They are made self-propelling
merely 10 enable them TO return to
their station should their anchor chain
break during a storm. The keepers
wished permission 20 use that power

Captain NcCrea thought the answer
over carefully. Then he gave this de-
cision: II a vessel be in distress near by
with passengers aboard the lightship
may go to her aid. TO be away from The
station for a short time. IN no case
may she be away from her anchorage al

is too heavy for the men 10 help With

The reason for this is that every other

Alone With a Madman.

Commander Henry W McCrea, Of the
United States Lighthouse Service, has
just returned from tour of inspec-
ton. To a reporter for The Sunday
Times, who questioned him regarding
the incidents CT his trip-who was
frankly in quest Of humorous anec-
dctes of the men in the lighthouses, he
said: There is nothing funny to be
dug up in their lives-there's plenty
of tragedy in the service. but no humor
to relieve it's grimness"
And the stories these inspectors tell
are certainly grim. Within the month
the Stratford Shoals Light has added
another to the list
The Stratford light is isolated in
the waters of Long Island Sound.
Gilbert Hatch is the keeper, and Mer-
rilI Huise his assistant. A second as
sistant. named Julius Carter. was until
recently detailed at that point At
present he is missing, and a new man
has been appointed. And thereby
hangs a tale.
This is the time Of the year when
the three men working at the light
take most Of their leave. In the win
ter, the combination OF stormy weather
and heavy traffic compels them 10 re-
main on duty for weeks at a time
without a break In the summer two
men can handle the light. leaving the
third with practically nothing to do.
The three men take turns going
ashore for vacation.

Carter returned from one of his trips
under the influence of liquor. It was
Hatch's day off. and as the work was
light. Hulse told him to go ashore
that Carter would undoubtedly sober
up in few hours. and that in the
meantime he could run the tower by
himself. Hatch went ashore. and
Hulse, after telling Carter 20 stay be-
low, went up to oil his lamps.
In the course Of the afternoon the
drunken man staggered up the stairs
to the platform, where Hulse was at
work and attempted to interfere.
Hulse forced him 10 go below.
When darkness settled down over the
ocean and just after the stratford
light had flashed out across the water.
Carter again ascended the stairs. BY
this time he was raving in the madness
OF deiiriun tremens. He declared that
the light was drawing all the queer
reptiles. insects, and other creatures
that were crawling over him So he
attempted to stop the light
Hulse Ieaped on him and tried to
force him down the stairs. But the

Armed With a Razor.

Next morning Carter was worse.
Hulse found him in a room below
hacking at the wall Of the tower with
a razor. The maniac explained that
he was attempting to cut hole
through the wall as an avenue of
escape from the bugs that were tor
menting him AS that was a harmless
occupation Hulse left him alone. But
after his trying night, he was obliged
to forego any thought of rest and stick
to his duty
When the second night came on Car
ter again became frenzied. He returned
TO his theory about the effect of the
light on the bugs and swore he would
stop it. Through the long hours of the
night Hulse fought him, all the time
managing to start the light every time
the maniac stopped it. The passing
boats seeing the clear signal flashing
across the water little knew what "A
terrible fight was being fought to keep
their signal true Toward morning the
superiority of clean muscles over the
artificial strength of drunken frenzy
was demonstrated. and Hulse forced his
raving companion down the steps. He
had worked and fought for forty-eight
long hours without an interval of rest

went below TO see what Carter was up

nevertheless. so Hulse again attacked

men overpowered and bound the luna

Hatch rowed him ashore. cut the ropes
