did not know wnetner would ever have chance
OF seeing the island again, concluded the inter.
view, and We mounted the ascent oI the blur and
claimed admission TO the lighthouse, q handsome
on its stone front. The lighthouse keeper, a man
Of about fifty years OF age. welcomed US 60 his
house how to light the lamps and the internal
arrangements OF his lonely lie and trade. There
were some children scattered around promiscu-
ously, and his housewife was employed In re-
moving the debris OF tine famiiys frugal meal from
the table as We entered.

The old lighthouse keeper Was suffering from
some nervous complaint. and explained to us that
Foote at Fort DonesOn and had received his ap-
pontment OF lighthouse keeper FOR ms services,
having been wounded, believe. He SAID

Descending the hill we made our way IRON the

bay on the west side OF The island, soon found
our way 70 the Snipman homestead, which IS at
inunty. Brother Woodhouso mad informed me

doubt been made for the purpose or giving the ngn
