For a year the men have been| on leave at full pay and are now aboard the tender Cedar to relieve other lighthouse men and with pro- visions for the lighthouses at Cape Spencer, St. Elias, Scotch Cap and Sarischeff “The election will be over and a| lot of other things will have hap- pened before they get back,” said R. R. Tinkham, Chief Engineer of the Lighthouse service. At each of the lights, which are manned by three men, the vessel will take off one man and leave another. “Sometimes the keepers get tired of looking at one another,” the en- gineeer added, “but the Superin- tendent in Ketchikan is usually suc- cessful in getting men who like iso- ion. The assignment is volun- and you would be surprised how many men apply for these po- sitions. “I recall at one remote station where three men did not speak for six months although they had eat-! en every meal during that period together. The row all started over one losing a ring and accusing an- other of taking it. The third man got mixed up in the quarrel trying to make peace.” The men are paid $1,800 yearly with free quarters and provisions They will come out in 1938 with $3,600 credit B i 13 PASSENGERS ABOARD YUKON FOR THIS PORT SEATTLE, kug. i0.—Alaska Line Yukon sailed for Alaska at 9 o'clock Sunday night with 195 first class and six steer- age passengers aboard.
