9311. Claudy, C. H., HOW THE LIGHT WAS TURNED
9311. Claudy, C. H., HOW THE LIGHT WAS TURNED. The Youth’s Companion. February 27, 1908. Full page tale of the assistant keeper Cob’s Point Light, a fictitious East Coast screw-pile lighthouse who must tend the light alone while the keeper goes ashore for supplies. Unusually warm weather of late had brought ice floes down the river, soon packing against the tower legs and shaking the lantern violently. Soon as lamps went out and their chimneys began to break, the rotating mechanism failed as well. Read how Keeper Alec performed his duty, and kept the lens turning day and night until the ice finally abated. Full issue with nice illustration, and with numerous articles of the day. (VG). $32.
