THE FAsTNET LIGHT.
Visitors Have to Be Swung Ashore by
Means of a Jib.

The FIRST glimpse of Great Britain
that the American tourist gets on
his European tour is that of the
Fastnet lighthouse.
1t stands OH rugged and solitary
rock, situated nine miles south of
Crookhaven, at the extreme south
west corner of Ireland, and is per-
haps more storm beaten than any
other around our coast. The rock
is eighty feet in height, and the
lighthouse towers another seventy
feet above, yet in winter gales the
Atlantic pillows literally lombard
the massive structure and have
even smashed in a portion of the
lantern at the summit of the erec-
ton, the seas frequently sweeping
over the rock with tremendous force.
Some dozen or so years ago the
stormy weather then prevailing pre-
vented all communication with the
rock for many weeks, so that the
store of food was consumed, with
the exception of some flour, At last
schooner managed to approach
sufficiently near to enable small
quantity of food to be dragged
through the sea by the hungry men,
and fortunately the next day the sea
moderated, and the stores were once
more fully replenished.
Except in very calm weather the
Fastnet is surrounded by a fringe
of foam, and the only means of land
ing is by the aid Of Glib" fifty
eight feet in length, so placed on
the rock that in moderate weather
its end reaches outside the surf.

out small buoy attached to a rope,
which is secured by the man in the

Death of Minnie Allen.

Poor, little, struggling, cheerful
Minnie Allen gave up the fight
Sunday and her soul passed out
from it's house of suffering clay
unto the rest prepared by her
Maker. She was an industrious
printer girl for some years in the
Offices of this town, then there
stole upon her, more than two years
ago, the inevitable clutches of
dread consumption. The brave
little girl fought like heroine to
restore her health, but to no pur-
pose. She went south in hope of
finding healing climate; returned
and took up her abode in the open
air, sleeping in tent; had all the
care and treatment that medical
skill could atfort; all were of no
avail, AMI she peacefully turned
her face toward death and bade
him release the troubled soul unto
God who gave it.
The good girl was a familiar
figure upon our streets, walking
about slowly, only able to speak
in whisper, yet cheerful and
patient. She would visit the
print shops where she had worked,
and her good cheer In the face of
her inevitable future, came as a
benediction to the little ills that
so easily mar our over-expectant
days. How it made the every day
whips and scorns of printers life
blossom into rays of sunshine,
when We printers would see
Minnie, in all her affliction bring
ing into our midst smile of
Goods Will Be Done" How
ashamed of our growls we were,
when we looked into her pleasing
countenatce, facing death in good
cheer and good will.
A younger brother preceded
her but few months with the
same malady, and in her broken
health she devoted herself to him,
and cared for him like a child un-
til death relieved him. What a
lesson of devotion, what spirit
of good she has left behind her;
how her patient suffering should
be sermon in our everyday life,
to help us smile at adversely and
the ills that cpme upon us.
