I have encountered the hurricanes
and deadly calms of the tropics. the
seas of ice in the north, the pamper-on
of the southwest: anti about everything
else you could mention. At one time
I was wedged in, on the three mastcd
schooner Stephen Duval, in the ice off?
the coast of Cape Breton l‘sland. We'
were there a long time,‘a.ud i thought
it was all up with us for the grinding
of the ice in the month of May is re~
lentless. it was more by accident than
through our own efforts that we dis'
covered a sufficient crack ’in the ice
to crawl out.

“No. I never did any whaling, but
one time I sent an iron into a monster.
that i bet he is carrying yet. lie came
maneuvering about our ship, when i
let loose with a harpoon. Quicker
than it takes to tell it. snap went the
ratlinc. and the siluriun. went. career-
ing off like a churning flush. He didn‘t
visit. us again. Another time when i
was fishing off Cape Sable in n schoon-
er we lost one of our fishing smacks
and three of us went in another. when
a whale, about 40 feet long, made a
dash at us, but he turned and went
back a short distance and dashed at
us again. This performance he ['3‘
posted several times, getting closer
and closer to us, when we thought the
next dash would be his last. and the
last of us. Well. sir. i just took up
the fog horn, filled myself withkuir,
and. when he was within a few feet
of us, let such a blast as my lungs
had never given before our since on
a. fog horn. and, sir. you ought to
have seen the beast; he swished and
turned and put off as though a thou’
sand whale demons and sea. serpents
were after him.‘ ,

”Our experience here on the light-
ship is far from being eventful. ii
is on the dead level all the time and i
don't know if i could stand it if it
were not for my reading. I' read a
great deal and employ an my spare
time that way. There are 13 of us
hore~master, mate. engineer. assist-
ant engineer, cook. three firemen and
live seamen. The men have their
games between work, but there is a
good deal of work to do. But i could
not make up my mind to stray here if
i couldn't read; it is so dull. i spend
from five to ten days each month with
my wife at Nlantic, Conn, or at lodg-
ings in-Brooklyn, but have been here
for three months at a stretch. But
that is nothing to our cook. Hugh Mc-
Donald. The last time he was ashore
was six months ago and before that

Like myself. many men in the
lighthouse service are married and
we must be separated from our fam-
ilies most of the time. Women are
not allowed to remain on board nor
to come aboard except as transient
visitors with permits from the depart-
ment.”

Among other stories told by Captain
Huntley and prompted by Captain
Percy, was his adventure in saving
the crew of tho tugboat James J. Wal-
lace, five years ago. it was .throngh
the captain's rare presence 'of mind
and timely action that the seven men
were taken from the tug which sunk
by the lightshlp.

Another eventful experience in
which the captain figured chiefly was
during the international yiich-t race.
when the Valhalla bearing down upon
the lightsbip, got into catch a com-
bination. of wind and sails and tanks

Anessential item in the equipment
of the lighthouse, yet one that empire.
sizes the dreariness of the life there.

the government, to each lighthouse
and lightshi’p, There are 18 remedies
for as many things from sore throat
to rheumatism. Typewritten direc:
tions describing symptoms and proJP
scribing remedies, accompany' each
case of medicine. 'There is also a
thermometer and directions how to
use it. with the conclusion that if onofa
temperature registers more than 101

Keeper Herbert W, Sisson.’ is tryst-
ing alone Herbert B. Burdge, the
keeper, is off for a .few days to see
his wife and six children on shore and
the young assistant is consigned ot
the lonely watch until Monday. when
the keeper will return. When‘ asked
how he can manage to keep the light
and signal going While asleep. he
said: “i do not sleep. l'don‘t ex-
port to sleep‘ till the keeper returns
on Monday morning. but then i. will
sleep four days and he will 'have to
keep awake."

'I‘hcsc keepers resort to. many‘ cur-
ious little devices to divert themselves
during their long watch. ,Over the
cooking range of this lighthouse is a
spiral of paper and funny little in‘
seriions wit wing-like anmfldaa'es
that are kept twirling. like dervinh
dances, over the heat. They are at-
tached by a swivel to a hanger and
would afford infinite amusement to
children were the little folks permit-
ted to see them. "l‘he Westbank
lighthouse operates a fog‘ siren by
means of a. small. kerosene engine.
which. by compressing air, produces
an air and oil vapor that manufactures
and supplies its own fuel and gener-
ates the power for the blowing of the
siren by compressed air.

Once in three months these“ light-
houses are provided with a stock of
provisions. it is very rare that fresh
meats and vegetables find their 'way
into them. it is a canned life. But
the provisioning. such as it is..and of
its kind is the best. is abundant and'a
large supply of fuel. etc, iii always

which collects the rain from th roof.
