while the next flashes a red light every
five seconds. The third may be an
alternate red and white fash. with in
tervals of ten seconds between the
flashes. and so on. The audible fog
signals are identified by the time be-
tween the blasts Of the siren and the
continuance Of the blast.
Flashing lights are preferred to fixed
lights for the reason that a fixed light
might be confused with some other
light on shore. Only white and red
lights are considered desirable in light
houses. since 1t has been found that
the rays from lights of other colors
cannot be seen at so great a distance
There is but one green light-a fixed
