H. Muse, was today preparing to leave on a like mission. The Ivy had last evening reach- ed American Shoals light with a force of men to make repairs and changes et the light, but the; weather was so unsettled and seas running high, they were unable to get to the light. They were returning to Key West when Superintendent Wm. W. Demeritt instructed Captain Phillip L. Cosgrove to proceed to the storm area and make an inves- tigation of any damage which may have been done to naviga- | tion aids in Hawk Channel andj the reef lights. The Tender Poinciana is com- ing south through the sate) coastal waterway. An investiga- tion is being made of damage to] lights and beacons on the inland route, and if found will be re- paired at once as the vessel has the necessary equipment along. It is understood that the Poppy will start at this end of the intre- coastal route and carry out a like program. NOTICE | COLLEGIATE DANCE eched- uled for tonicht at HABANA-|!
