James S. Hughes, 1st assistant (left); James S. Langlois, head keeper (center); Otto Heins, 2nd assistant (right); Cape Blanco Lighthouse, 1905-1907, shown in their official cleaning outfits. This is a rather humorous photo showing the serious task of keeping the lighthouse absolutely spotless in case the inspector came. James received the efficiency star at least once in his many years of service. (Courtesy United States Lighthouse Society.)
