Mr. Smith then made a short statement in which he said that the meeting was not called t) discuss questions of faith or prayer, but was for the purpose of thank- ing God for the rain which fell Saturday. Selections from the Psalms were read by Rev. Frank Foster, Rev. C Dawson, Rev. Thomas Anderson and Rev. W. T. Hil- ton. Rev. E. H.

Captain Burgess had a daughter named Abby, who for many years had helped him in the care of the lights and was per- fectly versed in everything pertaining to them. During one winter, when Captain Burgess lad gone over to Matinicus island for supplics, a severe storm sprang up, and lasted so long that for several weeks he was unable to get back. His wife was an in- valid, and during this trylng period Abby, then a mere slip of & girl, not only tended the lights but looked after the comfort of her invalid mother and several younger Lrothors and sisters, cheering them up during the stormy days and nights When Captain Grant and his son came the cock Captain Burgess left his ughter there to assist the uewcomers hile and instruct them regarding certain arities of the lights.

Tha rock which forms its foun- dation is entirely submerged, and in a northeasterly storm the lighthouse is abso- lutely exposed to the full force of the Atlautic ocean. The first lighthouse which was erected on the site, in 1848, was built on iron screw piles, and in @a furious storm whicl burst over the coast in 1851 it was overthrown and the two keepers on it perished This was the greatest tragedy in the history of the American lighthouse administration. The present granite structure was begun in 185 and finished in 1880, Owing the exposure of the site work could be carried on there only during the summer, and even then there were two summers when only 130 working hours could be had.
