comes cold enough to make fires nee
Iessary for comfort. and the keepers and
those with them in the lighthouses
have to depend upon the visits of the
lighthouse service steamers for a sup
ply of wood and coal. The tender
Jessamine has already started this fuel
supplying service, and in the past day
or two has visited light stations in

Arrangements are being made by Capt
Vivian Phillips, owner of the tug Will

Der of years owned here and was in serv-
Ice on the Potomac. About ten years
ago she was sold to her present owner,
but has been an occasional visitor here
with lows since hailing from Baltimore.
What caused the fire on the Mohler is
not known. After completing her days
work about Baltimore harbor she tied
up for the night. but short time after
laying up was found to be on fire. The
Baltimore fireboat and fire department
had water on the vessel in a short time
and she was sent to the bottom by the
water poured in her before the fire had

vessel
