The Men that Keep the Lights.— When the 
flame flashes bright and clear from the mast¬ 
head of lightship or rocky headland, guiding 
through darkness and storm the mariner on his 
way or to a safe anchorage, he should give a 
passing thought to the man that tends the light. 
Keepers of the isolated lighthouses along the 
coast and of the lightships moored far off shore 
lead a lonely existence, which would be bright¬ 
ened by adoption of a suggestion made through 
the column of letters from Herald readers. 
The writer notes that yachts are abundantly 
supplied with discarded newspapers and maga¬ 
zines, and he suggests that when conditions per¬ 
mit of it the passing yachtsmen should send a 
bundle of these to the poor fellows who keep 
the lights. This is now done by some yachts¬ 
men, but many who have never thought of it will 
no doubt adopt the kindly practice at the sugges¬ 
tion made by our correspondent.—New York 
Herald.

Sailor Hurt. — On July 29, while cleaning a 
signal cannon, Samuel Christian, a sailor of the 
steam yacht Alice, owned by Mr. F. D. Under¬ 
wood, Atlantic Y. C., lost his right hand and 
suffered other painful injuries. Mr. Under¬ 
wood’s private physician was aboard and dressed 
the sailor’s wounds, when Mr. Underwood 
hurried the unfortunate man to Roosevelt Hos¬ 
pital. The accident occurred while the sailor 
was standing in front of the gun, cleaning the 
muzzle, when he accidentally pulled the lanyard 
to the trigger, and a charge left in the gun was 
exploded.
