Explosion at Lighthouse--This is Stannard Rock lighthouse in Lake Superior, 45 miles north of Marquette, Mich., where an explosion occurred about 9:30 Sunday night. One man is missing, and another was injured. Not until the U.S. Coast Guard cutter, Woodrush, checked at the lighthouse last midnight was the blast known to the outside world. The explosion of gasoline gutted the base of the 102-foot high tower and started a fire that was still burning in coal storage
