NINETY YEARS AT THE ISLE OF SHOALS.

t Urged to tell what he "can remember Of
the long years upon this island, MI.
Laighton tells a true story of many years of
remembering. The record begins like a story
"On pleasant day early in October of the
year 1889 pilot boat sailed out from Ports
mouth bound for the Isle of Shoals" Not a
big book, but throughout it carries the SAVIOR
OF the story, OF interesting things just familiar
enough to attract the reader, just strange
enough to delight him. No distance from the
mainland Of New England here is the record
OF an island life that, at certain points Of
time and It's ways, is as remote as the South
Pacific Islands. The changes that have taken
place in water commerce, in water craft are set
down here, right from the eyesight of this man
who, as boy and later on, saw the trade of the
world changing like marvel and magic. The
bird life around the island the sea life. YOU
may be sure play good part in this story.
The lighthouse in its mission of safety, in its
care in the real adventure that it gave to the
boy, this becomes an interesting part Of the
long story. Interesting people, whose names
we know, visited the island, and of these he
