HENLOPEN LIGHT
SEEMS THREATENED
WITH DESTRUCTION
Badly Undermined by the Raw
ages of the Sea and Appears to
be Leaning.
OLDEST ALONG THE COAST

Henlopcn Light, between Lewns AND
Rehoboth, which is threatened with
destruction by the storm now raging
there, is one Of tho Atlantic Coast 8
famous old landmarks. II has been under,
mined by the battering of the sea and
seems TO be leaning The washing OF the
sands around its poor foundations had
caused more than one spectator to predict
AN end to things at that spot with the
first shock or strain.
The coast guard station at Iewes re-
ported this afternoon over the telephone,
that the Cape Henlopcn lighthouse was
in imminent danger last night but that a
rising barometer Indicated that the storm
had apparently greatly spent itself and
much Of the danger was over. In charge
OF Harry Palmer, chief keeper, the crew
of the lighthouse of three men are mann
tanning their perllous post, although
at grave danger to themselves. Only n
few weeks ago keeper by the name of
Davis quit the Job because Of the risk,
but AMONG the hardy spirits of that
section of the country IT was not difficult
to obtain another man 20 take his place.
The storm wrecked telephone wire 10
the lighthouse and il was not possible
10 get into communication with the
keepers there today.
Storms that have passed that way
in the last eight or ten years have left
their imprint upon the lighthouse under
pinning of sand and loan. The water
had been creeping steadily and relent-
lessly toward the beacon until it had come
within $50 feet. Keepers became alarmed
at this meance and every blow that came
