= VOL. LXVI--NO, 10318 TRE ne AND THEIR ANSWERS, : 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, pies e 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 FLASH INTHENIGHT IGNALS OF LIGHT AT FIRE ISLAND _ How News Is Sent In From Sea Through the Darkness and Lives and Property Are Saved—The Pilotboats and the Lonely Stowed snugly away in his-little tower at Fire island, the man who always eye open sweeps the horizon with his night glass, watching and waiting.

A red and white would have called for a rocket apparatus, a green and red for the life car or ‘‘breeches buoy,’’ and so. on, different combinations of colors conveying different instructions. But it is not always stern business that calls into play the Coston colors.
