the tugboat for its size is the most

powerful craft to

flat and the star tugs are the power

behind the docks and waterways that make

up the big city

s

DDA rocks was dangerous to shipping

before they placed light ships there to

mark them Lily light ship was special

she was equipped with a loud fog horn

and a bright light which could be seen

for miles and miles

around I had the contract to keep her

ship shape and Shining which kept both

10 cents and sunshine busy with a fuel

barge without this fuel her light would

go out oh well that's it Lily now you

can sh that's the way I'm what would we

do without you HH nice to be appreciated

boys you'll be in the rata parade I

suppose I never see any of it from out

here pity that we'll stick a light and

fog on on Sunshine and animia so you can

hey do you mind I'm in the perer too you

not there well let's try and get back in

all right bye Lily we'll tell you all

about it bye boys hope to see you soon

later that night a thick fog came down

as she was thinking about all the fun

they were going to have Lily thought she

heard

something it was the throb of a trap

steamer rapidly approaching her through

the dense

Fog she sounded her horn again and

again but there was no

reply then suddenly out of the fog the

tramper appeared with a sickening th it

glanced to her side cutting a huge hole

the tramper sped towards demo rocks it

was going too fast to avert certain

disaster the tramper tore into the Rocks

rested for a moment then with an unhappy

sigh slid backwards and sunk

[Music]

rapidly Lily was now in a perilous

condition water had seeped into her

power room and her light fizzled out all

she could do now was wait for

help Dawn arrived Lily looked around

anxiously but there was no one to help

her suddenly she saw lots of bubbles on

the surface quite close to her it was

Grandpa the naval submarine Mayday

Grandpa

water line if I try to tow you in you'll

do the trick no you'll damage yourself

a bit in here I'm puming out my balance

tanks to keep us afloat till real help

small fishing boat had seen everything

and was now speeding towards the port to

inform the Coast
