ACETYLENE CHS BUOYS FOR
ITER!) OF INSIDE PASSAGE
I ?
j The United States lighthouse ten
der Manzanita arrived In Skagway
last night nine days out from Seat
tie with I)r. Henry Pritchett, head of
the U. S. lighthouse board, Jacob
Furth, president of the Seattle Elec
tric company, and Charles A. Stone,
president of the Stone & Webster
corporation ot board.
The trip north was made by Dr.
| Pritchett for the purpose of investi
gating the feasibility of placing
acetylene gas buoys on the inside
passage between Seattle and Lynn
canal. If the plan is decided upon
twenty buoys, costing from $1,500
to $6,000 apiece, will be placed in
Alaskan waters. In all probability
the plan will be adopted.
"The board faces several problems j
in the lighting of the inner channels !
of the Alaskan coast," said Dr. 1
Pritchett, last evening. "The coast]
Is rugged and dangerous and requires j
many lights, hence cost must be con-i
sldered. The wild and unsettled con-|
ditlon of the country is another dif- j
ficulty In our way. Kor this reason j
the board is ready to use acetylene j
buoys for the protection of the coast'
If they are found to be practicable.
"We propose to Install from fifteen
to twenty of these buoys between
Seattle and Lynn canal. The buoys
vary In size from those which sit
about eight feet out of the water to
those which rise fifteen or twenty
feet above the water's level. Buoys
are now made to burn for months at
a time without attention and we be
lieve that by dropping one at each
of the worst points we can eliminate
much of the danger to navigation
along the Alaskan coast.
"We will experiment with three
kinds of buoys. One kind permits
'.he seepage of sea water into tho car
bide and the consequent formation
of gas. A second kind of buoy per
mits the carbide to gradually sink
into a water chamber. In the third
make of buoys the gas is stored un
der pressure within them. In all of
the buoys the flame is so arranged
to be protected against wind and
dashing waves and the buoys will
burn, night and day, for months with
c attention. However, it is best
for some one to be near the buoys
and watch them and fix them if
anything goes wrong with their me
chanism. To this end I will attempt
10 arrange for men to act us care
takers. The plan as I have stated
i'. is by no means completed and Its
adoption will depend upon the results
of my trip to Alaska."
