from their first ainual Labor Day

1949, according to Commodore N.
Bennett of Morehead City Yacht
Basin.

Diamond Lightship
wer had been "So long, mate, and
luck."
No Beer for Joe
Another twelve hours and the
seaman on the galloping tanker
would be in a safe port, swilling
beer. But Joe would still be toss
ing and pitching on the "Dia
mond," sweating out the blow.
For his orders were:
"Remain on the station until re
lieved, and keep the light burn
ing." Joe gazed southward where a
couple or three hundred miles
down there the hurricane was
boiling northward, fattening on
the ocean. He looked at the sky.
It. was overcast. . He looked at the
sease-Khay were calm; calm--as
they ever got which to a land
lubber is a fright off Diamond
Shoals.
Maybe Joe wondered as hepaus
ed there on the bridge why he
ever left that North Carolina farm
near Rich Square for a job like
this hurricane and fog, monotony
and loneliness. But more likely
(i s ni'nd was on other things, like
the disappearing tanker, or what
the cook was preparing for lunch,
or the storm off there to the
south. For a man who can take
two steady years on a lightship
isn't the sort of man who has
regrets.
And to look at Joe now, graying
slightly in his 41st year, strong
of eye and build, tanned a rich
mahogany by wind and sun, it's
a little hard to believe that
romance alone drew him to this
joh romantic as tt may sound to
a landlubber who has never spent
a month on a ship that goes no
place but is anchored forever, roll
ing and pitching, in a rare spot
of hell.
Joe doesn't say so, for like
all the men in the U. S. Light
house, Service Joe doesn't talk
much about himself, but the chief
attraction of the lightship appears
to lie in the prosaic fact that the
men are granted 108 days of leave
a year. They are aboard ship
thirty days, then off eight. There's
a 30-day vacation, too.
It Comprise Crew
The 17 men of a lightship crew
go out to the Ship in the know
ledge that they have a secure Job,
three and a half months' vacation
and not a great deal of work to
do.
Except in bad weather, like the
Atlantic blow this week, chief oc
cupation aboard the "Diamond" is
cleaning, scraping,, painting and
polishing. It's amazing the amount
of "housekeeping" that has to be
done. Wind and sea, laden With
salt, would eat away the "Dia
mond" If it wasn't for the day
after day scraping, painting and
polishing. "- .'
The "Diamond" is one of two
lightships that guard ships against
the treacherous North Carolina
coast. The other is the Frying Pan
Shoals Lightship off Wilmington
Other ocean sentinels in the O.

The first lightship to give warn
ing of the treacherous diamond
shaped reefs that lie off stormy
Cape Hatleras was established as
early as 1824. It was torn loose
from its moorings a few times by
hurrlncane gales and was finally
wrecked in 1837. - . ,
Not for 70 years was another
lightship sent out .to Diamond
Shoals.
Lightship Anchored Again
Then in 1827 a lightship was
again anchored in the lonely,
storm-churned spot. And there's
hnen a lightship there ever since,
riding out 'the hurricanes of 1936
and 1944, saving the lives of count
less ships and men.
The lightshiopcrs seem to agree
that Diamond is the least desirable
spot on the Atlantic although you
won t get any of the Diamond crew
to agree.
Yet, it is not a surprising judg
ment that Diamond is the least
desirable spot since it has "two
days bad weather to one anywhere
else."
' But fair weather or foul, it's Just
about the same to the Diamond
crew which is made uo In the
majority of North Carolinians.
This week as the hurricane
plowed up the east coast and it
looked like Diamond would take
the brunt of the storm, Joe
Vaughn waited out the blow as
calmly as a man settling back to
watch a movie.
Down in the radio room, with a
30-mile wind lashing the lightship
and the seas running high, Joe sat
Sown at the radiophone to talk

I had a good picture of Joe sit

wind mouhtlng up. A couple
weeks before I had gone out to the
lightship aboard the cutter from
the Ocracoke Coast Guard Station.
It had been calm that day, hot with

Radioman Benjamin O'Neal con

charge.
Then came Joe's voice cracking
through the static, calm as you
please.
"What's it like out there?" we
asked Joe.

Just as we were about to close
down our conversation with Joe
we asked for another report on the
weather out there where he was
sitting.
"About 50-mile-pcr-hour winds
in flaws and the sea's runnin'
high," he answered.
"How do you feel, Joe?"
A low chuckle floated through
the crackle of the radiophone.
"Fine," he said. "We ride out
the sea exceptionally well."
I said, "Luck and thanks."
Joe said, "Roger," a term I had
n't heard since the blit2 days back

say everything Was oksy.

somehow I didn't fed so tense any
