PENTZ NBROOKE LIGHTHOUSE, July 15.—For three days the expedition has been stormbound at the lighthouse, while the rain has fallen in almost a ceaseless stream and a southeast gale has howled up the channel with all the energy and abandon of a regular winter storm.

Jean worries not at all about the weather, good or bad. and has lain on a couch by the window hav- ing his regular sleep and during his waking hours talking diligently to anything at all and industriously waving a newspaper to and fro, Mrs. Smith, the lightkeeper, has a pair of scales and we had the oppor- tunity to welgh Jean for the first time since the start of the trip.
