The next in grade comes from Sor-

To Remove the Buoys

The fiashlight buoy in Ashland
harbor will be taken out of the
water in a few days and will be
taken to the dock at Bayfield,
until spring. Wherever possible
buoys and other harbor appli-
ances are removed in the fall to
prevent them from being carried
away or injured by ice. There
is only one lighthouse tender on
Lake Superior doing jobs of this
kind, and to take care of all the
harbors on Lake Superior is
more than one vessel and one
boat crew can do, but as the
buoys are heavily weighted down
they are not usually carried very
far by the ice, but are sometimes
left in all winter.
The fashlight buoys, however,
such as that east of Washburn in
Chequamegon Bay and off Rasp-
berry Island, and other expen-
sive buoys, are carefully taken
from the water in the fall and
replaced in the spring. They
frequently need repairing and it
is absolutely necessary to ex-
anime them every year.
The Ashland buoy has a re-
ceptacle large enough to hold gas
to supply it the entire season.
1t was lighted last April, and
probably would have continued
burning day and night until the
present time, but to make sure,
two or three weeks ago it was
partially reflled.
