BUXTON, Hatteras Island, N. G.
March 30.-At night the Atlantic
coast is traced by a line of wink
ing lighthouses from Cannot rock
to Sand Key, but the tallest, most
imposing and most important
structure of all is the brick and
granite spire unfolding the first
order light on Cape Hatteras. For
that is the beacon which warns
vessels off the dread Diamond
shoals, 1.-The graveyard of Ameri-
can ships" and sailors.
Cap'n Fabius f.. Simpson keeps
the light, and he has for his assist
ants John B. Quendley and Char
les II. Fulcher. And at any hour
of the night. when the beacon Is
regularly alternating its six-sec-
ond flash and four-second eclipse,
you may know one of these men
is up with the light, occasionally
timing its intervals with a stop
watch.
The Hatteras lens, 1 . feet in di-
ameter and 10 feet high, a sight
calculated to brighten the eye of
any person interested in scientific
instruments. For the lens is just
a big tent of cleaning crystal
dropped over the lamp within.
1t comes to a conical peak at the
top, with room only for the flue
of the lamp chimney ito get
through. 1t drops straight down
past the light at a diameter of IL
feet. Then it tucks in about the
floor of the lamp room. The
cone roof is made of triangular
prisms In horizontal circles grow
ing smaller (and the prisms short
err as the peak is neared. The
"a perpendicular sides have each
one a 12-inch bullseye half way
down, at the level of the lamp
frame. The narrowing part below
is made of the largest prisms of
all.
AS the rays from the lamp fall
upon the prisms they are bent to
strike upon the bullseyes, which
collects them into level rays
which can ordinarily be seen 20
miles away, and have been seen
40 miles on clear nights.
