No lighthouse the world over has Al
wide fame among mariners as that
which stands IA miles of the coast Of
Lands End. It is perhaps the most
celebrated in the world. It has often
been used as an illustration by poets
and preachers, for no other lighthouse
is in such a lonesome or dangerous
place and none costs so much money
and trouble. There are three keepers
who live there with their families, and
two. of them are always on duty, while
the third IL on the main coast enjoy.
