ON MINOT'S LEDGE.
Tons of Spray Are Dashed Over tke
Very Dome of the Famous
Lighthouse.

/ Mr.. Gustav Kobbe spent a winter
i night in the lighthouse on Minot's
Ledge lighthouse, and got a vivid i'm
| preston of the exposed situation Of
the famous beacon off Cohassett, Mass.
| This impression he endeavors to con-
vey to readers:
Crash
Il was sitting one February night
in the watch-room of Minot's Ledge
| lighthouse, off Cohassett, Mass. With
me was the keeper. We were reading.
Suddenly there came shock as if the
/ heavy iron doors at the head of the
staircase in the tower had swung to.
The tower shook from base TO dome.
The wind roared round the lantern.
Droning through it all was the dis
NAL droTing of the fog-bell.
when that crash came / gave
start. / thought it was nothing less
than some vessel, lost in the fog. crash
ing on the ledge. But the keeper went
on reading quietly. What was that?'
1 finally asked.
oh he said, she's just taking on
a sea-
He had told me before how in great
storms the waves dash against the
tower, but this was my first actual ex-
perience of Minot's Ledge taking on a
sea-
ITO understand just what that
means. you must know that Minot's
Ledge lighthouse is built on a rock that
is under water. and that, excepting at
extreme low tide, the gray granite
tower is entirely surrounded by wa
ter. 1t is the American 'Eddystone:'
but, if anything, it is more exposed
than that famous light off the English
coast. Outlying lodges somewhat pro-
tect the Eddystone from heavy seas,
and the rock on which it stands is above
water in all tides, so that it offers a
better foundation than Minot's. This
latter has no protection against the
full sweep of a northeaster except a
ledge known as the outer Minot, and
this is entirely submerged at high tide.
The crash which made me start was
repeated again and again during the
night, as wave after wave swept in and
broke against the tower. In heavy
storms there are times when from the
shore, some miles distant, Minot's
Ledge lighthouse seems to be buried
by the sea. The waves strike the tower
about 20 feet above the base. and send
tons of spray as high as 25 feet above
the dome. The mass of water then
comes crashing down upon the lantern,
and streaming over it, falling like a
cataract on the leeward parapet and
into the ocean. The lifeboat, which
hangs from this parapet. so feet above
the sea- would be dashed to pieces if
it were on the weather side. Even
where it hangs now, partly protected
by the tower, it would probably be
broken by the cataract if the plugs
were not drawn from its bottom to al
low the water to run out freely."-St
Nicholas
