A STIRRING PICTURE.

The Jumping of the boats, the flying
spray and the background OF tumbiing
green water made stirring picture. The
crests Of the waves broke white on either
side as the tow entered the shallow pas
sage through the breakers. on either
hand the waves were like so many dogs
showing their teeth and seeking their
prev. They were never rewarded, how
ever. and always fell back balled in rank
upon rank Of white. seething foam.
once inside the bar the running was
easy. for the water was deep. The cargo
boat was conducted into pocket OF pill
ing. close TO the Swiss chalet. with the
lantern cupola. which comprised tho
lighthouse one wondered why the ginger
bread type OF construction found in
Swiss chalet should be chosen to warn
navlgators OF the dangers OF the shoals
and the seethng breakers which con-
stantly roar before it's door and feed upon
dredge near by was trying to replace
some Of the sand which old Neptune had
carried away to the other side OF the
channel.
For the first time the crew had to carry
the oil for a considerable distance from
the boat. Yokes. resembling those seen
IN Oriental pictures, were provided for
this purpose and each man placed one
upon his shoulders. on either end of this
he slung a gallon case OF OIL weigh
inc forty pounds.

YOU FIGHT LUCK IN BREAKING RECORDS

hook OF standards any record OF which
there is the least doubt. but the attitude
of the public. and particularly of the
athletic fraternity. ever showing skepu-
cism of new figures. is both unwarranted
and unjust.
We Americans are very ready to re-
sent Indignantly the charge by foreign
ers that our records will not bear inves-
tigation, yet we are the very ones re-
sponsiblc for their occasional discredit-
ing. To this day there are those who
question openly and blatantly some OF
the accepted marks, Kellys l00-yard
sprint In 3-5 seconds. and Horrine's
high jump of 6 feet 6 is inches included.
And this though the Amateur Athletic
UuIon has stamped them with the seal
o. its approval.
Does II not seem decidedly conceited and
self-important for any man to brazeniy
accuse OF bias or incompetence, or both,
reputable officials who have vouched for
a performance, on the mere strength of
personal opinion? What If an athlete
has not previously or since equalled his
best mark? Is it not fact that the
necessary combination of conditions may
not at other times have presented itself,
ability Notwithstanding?
And yet so inclined are most OF us to
scoff that probably the first question
which forms i'm our minds when we hear
OF "A record being created is. IBID he
really do IT."
The next time you read Of new figures
stop a moment to consider what ii means
to shade the most brilliant achievements
OF every champion Of the past Try to
realize the long years that IL takes TO
attain supremacy, the gruelllng tests
that must be undergone. the good things
Of life that have To be cast aside, the
bitter disappointments that are every
mans share before he grasps success.
And. thinking of these things, forget per-
sonal views and. giving credit where due.

A MISCELLANEOUS SUPPLY.

There were five tons OF anthracite in
bags, sal soda in a barrel, zinc for use in
the boilers, wipers. engine oil, case oil,
matches. soap, metal sheaves, waste
and other minor articles to be put
aboard. That it is sometimes close work
making the supplies last through the year
was indicated when the engineer re-
marked over the rail:
We're glad to see you. Were almost
out of clothes. We need overalls." Some
of the old overalls had been used in lieu
Of engine waste.
The visit of the tender Is an oppor-
tunity to get tidings of the service, and
the news is passed aboard that the chief
engineer of the lightship went ashore
few days before. lie had received a mes
sage that his daughter was dying. The
prospects of the weather are discussed,
and the captain OF the lightship remarks
that he. thinks there will be a fog. lie is
the last word on the weather in his neigh
borhood. Why should he not be? Watch
ing the weather is one of his major
duties.
A sdelight on life OH Ilghtship was
reflected when the brawny, broad chested
cook a lad with "A fine face and Saxon
hair, came up and begged Captain Kari
gen for piece of ice. lie wanted II so
that they could have some cool drinking
water This is rarity, for all the drink
ing water is distilled. The tanks In which
il is contained are hot. and in summer the
water never Goods off to a degree that is
grateful to the throat. 1t is always luke
warm and sometimes has a temperature
of 10 degrees.
Everything has been safely passed
aboard. Dumb luck" says Captain
Karigen. The first mate of the tender
comes over the side with the receipts
duly signed and every article accounted
for, and the order is given TO cast off
the lines. IL is $50. for the tender
has been alongside three-quarters Of an
hour. AS she pulls away from the ves-
sci the chief engineer of the light ves-
sci steps over to the whistle wire and
blows parting salute of three blasts.
Captain Karigen responds with an equal
number of hoarse ones. and in a moment
the sun glistens on the shining side of

District. which has its headquarters at
Tompkinsvillc Included in this district
are Long Island Sound and adjacent
waters. the south shore OF Long lsiahu

scheduled to make the Jersey coast trip
which is particularly interesting because
of the shifting character of its SANDY
shoals. the bars which separate thehi
from the mainland and the inlets.
When the Tulip sailed from Tompkins-

BEGINNING THE DAYS WORK,

"All right aft, sir" he called out, and
the ship began to vibrate under the re-
versed engines. A look through the win
dow from the bed showed the vessel back
ing over the oily water from the pier and
swinging in a circle until her nose should
point toward the gap in the breakwater.
over the sand dunes at the end of Cape
Henlopen the sun rose, a dull red ball In
a bank of soft haze. The long pier with
it's burden Of i'll smelling mussel covered
buoys, rapidly receded into the back
ground as the tender swung along under
full steam toward the open sea. Fifteen
off, the rusty red lighthouse on the end
of the breakwater was astern and the
swell of the oceans heaving bosom was
felt. On the starboard the white tower Of
Henlopens light rose from among the
sand hills. and before lay the first goal.

Overfalls Lightship.
Hoarse blasts from the whistle informed
the captain of the lightship OF the ten
der's approach. Then the tender swept
around in circle toward the cream col
ored hull, on whose decks men were seen
occupied in getting lines and tenders in
readiness The six-foot captain from
Chincoteaque could be heard across the
water giving orders spiccd with an occa-
slonal eXpletive and as the tender came
alongside and the lines were thrown out
he drawled. while he rubbed one eye:

LIGHTHOUSE SUPPLIES.

IjRhtships and lighthouses require many
kinds of supplies. Some of these because
of their Interchangeable character can pe
kent throughout year. THESE are cdiieu
annual supplies, because II is unnecessdIS
to deliver them oftener than once year
Included among these are oil ior lhe
lamps. wicks, writing paper, slate pehciiS'

The Story Of Trip on One Of the Busy
Tenders Which Fit About Among the
Coast Beacons Delivering the Many
Articles Which Necessity and
Comfort Call For.

On top of the piles OF oil cases rested
heavily built cargo boat, capable OF
CARRYING five tons of coal in smooth water
and intended for conveying the supplies
to the land. Hanging from the davits
was a power boat with a 25-horsepower
motor to be used in towing the cargo boat
ashore whenever this could be done.
Sometimes it is necessary to row it in.
This. Of course, with its heavy burden,
is a slow and tedious task.
The crew of the Tulip numbers thirty
captain, three mates, three engineers
three quartermasters, fremen, sailors
Chinese cook and steward.
Save for stop near Barnegat to light
a gas buoy which had gone out, the Tulip
made a straight run down the coast TO
Cape Henlopen and tied up at the United
States engineers pier, inside the break
water, near Lewes. Del. 1t was o CLOCK
Sunday morning when she reached the
pier, and as the crews of the tenders are
not expected to work on Sunday the Tulip
remained alongside the pier all day. The
swimming and fishing were good, so there
were no objections to the location except
those which grow out Of the fact that one
is not spending the day off at home. Mon
days labors represented a typical day
work, and it will be worth while TO fol-
low ii through that day.
The day began for The Tribune repre-
sentative at sos a. m, when man came
aft by his window and took in a line.

A number of local people have recent
ly become interested in the Development
operations now being conducted at the
Alta Consolidated properties. Last Sat
urday Messrs. Cowan. Davies and Bad
ger made a trip to the mine and when
seen Monday semed very much surprised
at the amount OF work that had been
done in that property during the winter
months They reported having seen a
considerable tonnage broken down and
exposed In the workings above the main
tunnel level, with good Indications in new
work that has just been started,
1t seems that most of the ore develop
ment has taken place In the King fissure.
This deposit has been tapped in several
places by means Of raises and has also
been followed by drifts to the east and
west. One Of the most interesting pieces
that is nearer the portals OF the tunnel
than the other workings. This work has
been started back some distance from
the first development In the fissure. with
now about twenty feet. Within the next
fortyfive to fifty feet IT Is expected that
the flssure will be cut and II this work
shows the ore in paying quantities there
extends several hundred feet In length.
The deepest workings in the tunnel is
given as about 500 feet and from this
level a winze was sunk to a depth Of
100 feet or more While the indications
for ore We're encouraging In this work, II
that for the present operations
will be suspended. while the development
along the fissure Is continued Later on,
the management will either install a dom
key hoist and continue the sinking, or
open up the territory to greater depth by
means of d tunnel lower down the noun
tain side.
Within a few days tho tramway con-
necuon will be completed and then ore
that is broken and dropped down the
chutes to the tunnel level will be sent out
to the loading station and dumped at
Tanners fiat. Teams are hauling the
forty tons daily have been sent down the
canyon since the shipping in this manner
was started. When the lower bins are
emptied, all ore will be shipped over the
tram.
