just enough to permit the buoy to
move. With the vessel slowly rolling
from side to side on the slow seas of
even a quiet day-the good days are
purposely picked for this work-the
mass of freshly painted iron with its
long tube presents personalities for
evil which must be closely watched.
Let the buoy but get clear of the
deck and the fall tackle get damned,
and there would come into being a
three ton pendulum with an iron rail-
SO feet long, capable of smashing the
boat TO bits and certainly of sweeping
broken boned men about the deck
with no more effort than if they were
so many flies.
When the new buoy is safely into
the water and its anchor and chain
tossed after it. the unusual spectacle
is presented of two whistling buoys
side by side. But the new buoy is si-
lent.
"Lazy-doesn want to work." say
the sailors. But it is only waiting I'M
til the water has filled its long tube to
take up the burden of its mournful
song-a sound so indescribably melan-
choly that the department has al
ways scores of protests from land
dwellers when one eff these sirens is
placed within sounding positions.
But if getting the new buoy over
board is dangerous work, hauling the
old one in is more so. The buoy is
first secured by good seamanship.

instant, just as it is laid fiat on the

face of death, a dozen men spring at

thrust huge billets of wood underneath

then cautiously backs away to raise
the anchor, perhaps buried for months
in the mud, and there is a general
scampering away from the cable while
this is being done, as should it break
it would be like having a couple of
cannon balls come tearing along the
deck; breaking two-inch cable is as
rigid as an iron bar and with hun
dreds of tons of force in its swift flick
through space.
However, so skillful are these han
dlers of heavy masses of iron on an
unstable keel, that it is rare that an
accident happens, while most of those
which occur TO whistling buoys are
caused either by their being run down
and their tubes cut off by the propel-
lers of large vessels or by their be-
ing damaged by ice. H Claudy in
