Watchers on the Beach on the Lookout.
has his weather
. the flaming beacon Way above his head
is one of the sentinels, and all around
are the moaning of the distant surf, the
feet and tho whistle of the wind as it
eddies and swirls around the tower and
‘huge lamp atits top. Minute after min‘ute passes away, each one marked by a
great beam of light sent out over the
‘waters,

Suddenly there comes from the southeast, as if thrown aip by the ocean, a
gleam of red—red, ‘the danger signal,
but the watcher is not' (disturbed, He
only waits. Not for long, however, as
~ the night glass ‘pointed toward ‘that
point of red on the ocean’s rim shows a’
blue light on each side of it, about 100
feet away, whileajust below the red
light is a faint speck of green. That is
enough.” The signals have told their
story, and the next instant a blinding
flash of -green light from the tower answers the distant vessel, and before its
glare has died away the electric spark
has sett to the Western Onion Tele-. graph office and to every newspaper in
“the city the message, ‘Steamer Paris
jutheast of Fire island. ’’ toe
The big boat speeds on her way. The
‘¢ watcher checks her name off the list of
vessels due, But others have’seen the
_ Sreen signal. The dim lights of the
steamer had not attracted the attention
of the sailors on the little pilctboat
standing to the eastward, but the brilliant flash of green told them that a signal had been answered, and there was
no need for the Paris to send up the
familiar pilot call of white—red—
white. The Paris meant $150 for the
pilot catching her, and the men started
right off after her, knowing that she
was due and ‘hoping it was her signal
that had-been answered. a
The ocean greyhound has passed away
to the westward in: the darkness, and
again the watcher resumes his vigil.
But the wind has.increased. The breeze
has given way before a gathering of the .
forces of the air, and up from the southwest comes a surging of waves, and the
surf is beating and pounding on the
shore with a hollow, Tesoundiug boom
that tells of a tempest abroad in the
night. Blacker and blacker grow the
clouds overhead, narrower and narrower grows the circle of inky sea and sky
that marks the limits of vision, and
while the. faithful monitor overhead
keeps up its clocklike regularity of blazing and fading. its range of ‘power is
constantly lessened by the coming
storm.7’ Down on the beach the swing of a
lantern marks where ‘the life saver is
steadily tramping along to meet his
companion from the next station. Itisa
terribly lonely migsion. He is alone
‘with the moaning sar, and each step is
like entering some enchanted realm of
darkness, ruled by the spirit of the
storm. On one side of him is the sullen,
grinding sea, on the other a waste of
sand, and in front the fitful gleam of
his own lantern. He is lonely and ‘cold,
but that has no terrors for him. His
next step may touch some one. lonelier
and colder than he—a human body
pressed into the moist, unyielding sand.
Or away through the breakers rises thd
form of a ship, helpless for all her
strength, driven by the gale far on the
shore despite the friendly warning from
the tall tower with its finger of flame.
Then the crimson signal in his hand
tells the watch at the station that there
is work to do, and the wrecked mariners that help is at-hand. He hurries to,
the station to assist in the preparations
for rescue. As he nears the little house
there begins a brilliant display of fireworks. A glare of red, changing toa
clear white, which is followed by a
vivid green, conveys the message to the
next station, and a bright white blaze
tells thatthe signal is seen and understood, and then the beautiful Coston

Church, Oakland, says of it :
HAZEL CREBK, April 14, 1894,
I am more than pleased with it—
delighted. The place seems to me to
embody all available points fora camp—
dry, firm soil, good water (the very best)
fine chances for dreinage, and scenery
unsurparsable. The view of Mt, Shasta is
one of the very best to be had from any point;
it is visible from every part of the ground.
i The view of the Crags also is fine; '! The gen
eral environment is of the best. It is an
oval-shaped amphitheater, three miles long
by one-fourth to three-fourths of a mile
~ wide, with receding walls two to three
thousand feet in height, with lines and
shades of beauty at every reach. [.
