was taken sick last Monday and was
Obliged TO go to bed. Since then he has
been growing steadily worse and at 8

in Modesto and the latter is now at his
bedside together with the sick mans
wife.
He has been suffe ring for year and
half with kidney trouble and also with
some disease of he stomach and these
maladies are evidently the cause of hiS

with worry over political matters. He
has been an applicant for the position of

secret service agents, operating from ST.

The secret work on the case between

The exas perating features of these coun-

From Great Bird Rock, In the Gulf

Story OF a Heroine.

NORTH SYDNEY, CAPE BRETON Isle
June 3-A tragic story from the lonely
lighthouse on Great Bird Rock, far out in
the Gulf of st. Lawrence. fifty miles north
east of the MaRdalen Islands, has been
brought here by the supply steamer Rob
Roy, Just III from the islands
The steamer of the Dominion Govern
ment, which visits the lighthouse quar-
terIy, called at the rock on May %. The
only person fonnd there was the wife of
the Ighthouse-keeDer, Angus c. Camp
bell. Campeil and his two assistants had
been carried out to sea on the ice three
months ago and probably perished. They
went out on the ice to shoot seals, were
caught in dense fog and gale broke up
the pack before they returned.
Mrs. Campbell ever since has kept her
lonely vigil on the rock tending the lights
nightly and watching for her hus-
band by day. The skipper of the supply
steamer asked Mrs. Campbell how she
managed to get through the winter. She
said:
Il can hardly tell. I know that l have
hardly kept the light burning. 1t was a
dreadful experience, all alone on a rock;
might JUST as well have been in the middle
OF the Atlantic, so far as the prospect of
getting relief was concerned. Although 1
have plenty of provisions, l d 10 not thin k
have eaten more than one meal day.
My hair has turned. l have seen no liv-
Ing things except sea birds and seals 1
fancy l was Just beginning to get crazy
when you came"
Mrs. Campbell refused to leave the rock.
She is there now scanning the horizon
with sleepless eye, watching for the lost
husband who Will never return. The
steamer landed two men to tend the light
until other keepers shall be appointed.
Bird Rock Light is the most lonely and
Isolated spot on the Atlantic coast. 1t is
inaccessible for the greater part of the
year, but its maintenance is necessary to
warn the steamers that ply between
Quebec and Liverpool.
