IDEAL PLACE FOR SOLITUDE
Bird Island, In Gulf OF st. Lawrence,
Ono Of Worlds Moot Desolate
Spots.

bird island, most northerly OF the
record for wrecks. The whole group.
lD the Gulf OF st. Lawrence. Is exceed
lngly dangerous, but Bird island stands
frat. More like huge rock than an
island It's walls rise grim and gray In
the pnth OF the mariner. The island
has no beach or coast, only a steep ir-
regular cllff rising abruptly from the
water. The top Is barren plateau Of
nbout five acres.
Tho principal Inhabitants are birds.
Gu!ls, gannets and murres come In
thousands to nest and rear their young.
The roar OF their thousands OF wings
browns the noise OF the wntcrs. The
Indians say that they nre the souls OF
shipwrecked sailors.
The human tenants Of the plateau
are the lighthouse keeper and his wife,
doomed TO solitary existence except
about once or twice II year when ship
brings provisions. Sometimes. perhaps
In about every three or four years, nm
cnterprlslng naturalist comes TO study
the bird life on the islnnd.
Ships can approach Bird island only
In the calmest weather. The slight
cst ripple and the craft keeps re-
spectful distance. The lighthouse IL
reached by rope and wlndnss. The
hardest mountain climber would hesl-
tate before attempting to scale It's
rough gray walls.
The keepers Of the light have been
singuinrly unfortunate. The first went
insane and had to be kept confined by
his wife and assistant until the pro-
vision boat arrived. The second was
borne away by n floating piece OF Ice
when seal hunting In the early spring.
His wife maintained the lighthouse
alone until help came from neigh
boring island.
