Ship Mariners Off By the Associated Press. | Eight miles off the Michigan coast | the Lighthouse Service has stationed & ship without a crew to perform all the functions of warning mariners of nearby danger. When darkness closes down, & warning beacon flares in the mast- | head, giving its regular flashes. Al radio beacon starts sending steady signals. If it is foggy two fog signals blare warnings. In a lighthouse on the shore line the keeper has merely pressed a but- ton which started the signals going by radio. If the apparatus fails to function he presses another but:on,.: ;which starts a second set of radio| apparatus. | The lightship has been operating six months in an experiment which | will continue until Lake St. Clair—| which separates Lake Erie from Lake | Huron—is closed o traffic by ice uusJ‘ ‘Winter. | But there will be at least another | year of experimentation before the Lighthouse Service decides whether | to set up other such ships along the coasts. i Harold D. King, the lighthouse commissioner, said it remained to be determined whether the operation of | such ships was more economical than | keeping & crew aboard to tend the| appratus. “It depends on how man, trips we | have to make to the ship to repair | apparatus—how many things go wrong with it. And we are constantly im- proving the apparatus. It is too early yet to set up any others. «If, after another season of experi- menting with the St. Clair lightship, it is found feasible and economical, we may equip one or two others. “Buy if the equipment goes wrong often enough to require too frequent trips for repairs it will be too expen- sive for general use. We have some lighthouses at isolated and dangerous spots along the coasts where men have to be lifted from boats by der- ricks operated from the rocks above. “If we did not have men stationed in those spots to operate the derricks | Without Crew Warns Michigan Coast it might take two or three weeks for a man to get ashore, and where would | th light be during that time?” HEARING IS ABANDONED Property Settlement Is Reported | in Manners Divorce Case.
