The Light Keepers: A Story of the United States Light-house Service

A small band of lighthouse keepers on a lonely rock-ledge manage the routines of tending a lantern, repairing boats, and stretching scarce rations until dawn brings an unexpected castaway: a motorboat-wrecked boy who claims to be a mariner's son. They shelter, feed, and improvise to signal his parentage while juggling everyday chores and the eccentric personalities among them. Episodes that follow chronicle boat repairs, lessons about buoys, sudden storms, further wrecks and rescues, a disabled crew, and an official inspection, emphasizing practical seamanship, neighborly resourcefulness, and the steady duty required to keep coastal lights burning.
