A LIGHT THAT HAS SHOVE FOR 80 FEARS

From The Providence Journal
During the past 80 years bright light has
twinkled nightly in the window of farmhouse az
South Ferry a mile below Saunderstown, on the
west shore Of the bay. This light has been a well
come beacon to mariners who have run In under me
lee OF Beaver Tail to escape the fury or OUTSIDE
tempests But now, for the first time in this long
period the farmhouse has been deserted ana STANDS
solitary and dark For the past few years the
dwelling has been occupied by j. L. Eaton the Well
known pilot. He established a reporting station
there, connected by a telephone. and vessels whicn
put in for harDor in time Of storm were SO re-
ported. Pilot Eaton has moved up 10 Saunders-
town 10 get within speaking distance of a neighbor
or two He has taken his telephone along with MINI
however. and will still circulate among stornlpouno
craft which desire to be reported as formerly.
