In the morning they were lit erally . Hemmed in by other boats that had put in for the night, and getting out was impossible until the newcomers had gone on their way, but they finally arrived at High Hill Beach at which pot-t they stopped for recuperation un til Saturday afternoon and then tied up for good at the Bellmore dock after a trip which will be remembered for some months to come. the station should be lighted.
