Rudyard's lilhthouse might have 5 gm- ; century, so well was 1t nut "for its incessant struggle against tbs sol: 1t was In entirely, different element that vfluwd l!» destruction when less than half that period had gone b. 39m? o; m‘ out“ cgglpg o: imbci. it is true. had been IWY-Wl “l llle m“ by the waves, but these ll»:- oessary repairs had been easily effected.

In the year 1755 the lighthouse, according to Ballantvne. was in charge of one Teddy Maroon. Bld-

beeh captured by the French urivateer about 41 veers earlier- He had as assistants, Ilfllrv Hall. an elder], man and not ‘fit for hard wor , and James Wilkle. a young man but. a heavy sleeper.

One night in December of that

to the lantern to trim the candles. Twenty-four of them there were, set in a wooden framework that had in the course of years become drier than the proverbial tinder. Below, the woodwork would be saturated with tallow, Teddy snuffed the candles all round and went down to the kitchen to have a. smoke, his mates being abocl at the time. What happened up- stairs was never discovered; prob- abl one of the candles had fallen an started a fire in the wood- work. for when Teddy. his peipe finished, returned to the lull m and o ned the door, smoke and flame urst out. He shouted to his assistants, but they could not be roused for some time: then he got a bucket from the store room. ran down to the rock, filled tile bucket, and not back just as his horrified comrades appeared. He threw the water into the lantern, but it was too late: nothing they did could save the lantern. While Teddy and Wilkle were carrying water, Hall was staring, open- mouthed. at the raging flames. Just at that moment the lead on the roof melted, and splashed down 0n Hall's head and shoulders. He was struck down and uttered fl lOlid shriek. As Teddy and Wllkle carrier him down and laid him on his bed. he told them that some of the lead had gone down his throat!

The exertions the keepers were making soon exhausted their strength: and they were driven from room to room as the fire descended. By now the outer tim- ber caslng of the lighthouse was on fire and its caulking of pitch fed the flames. At last the heat and smoke drove tile three men out of the ligthouse. and they found shelter in a. shallow cavern under the ladder. Fortunately it was low tide and the weather was calm. otherwise the cavern would have been under water,

In the meantime the blaze had been seen from the shore, four- teen miles away, and a rescue

arty of fishermen set out, in a arge boat. towing a smaller boat. When they reached the rock they saw a terrific spectacle: the 11gb:- house, a pillar of flame amid the smoke, threw its glow on the dark sky, while melted lead and flam- ing pieces of wood fell on every s e.

To wet the keepers out of their dangerous position was difficult, because at the best of tlmcs tlierc was always a surf on the rock that interfered with landing. The fishermen however were men of resource: they anchored the lai-gc boat and veered down l0 the rock as far as they dared venture. Then three men got into the smaller boat. which was sent farther lii by means of a rope. When as near the rock as was safe. one of tiic men threw a rope which wascaucllt by Teddy. He tied it round tlin waist of old Henry l-fiill. who ivas drawn through the surf snioiv into the boat. Wilkie went next, and Teddy followed. So ivei-e lliey rescued. put on board thc big boni and taken ashore. Wilkie, who ap- peared stiiprflcd and had never spoken a word, suddcillv bounded ashore an ran off at fiill speed. He was speedily lost in the dark- ness and was never heard of again! The only conclusion that the spec- tators could come to, was that the PYTILEIIICIT’ and terror had driven him mad. and he had plunged into the sea.

Henry Hall actually did swal- low a quantity of melted lead. 11c lingered for twelve (lays. and ilien flied. His body was opclioii and the lead was found lu his stomach. The present writer has seen the lump of lead. oval in shape and weirzlilng upwards of seven ounces, in one of the Loli- doll museums; that of the Tower, if memory serves.

LIFE EXPECTATION IN U.S.A.

The Public Health Service of the USA. has JUSL released some vital statistics, from which the following are selected,

Al. the end of the 19th century, every infant in the U.s., at bl-rih was expected to live less than 5U years, on the average.

Between 1930 and 1940, the ex- pectation of life lose from an average of so years to one of 63.3 years.

Today tho average white male infant can hope to live 62.6 years, and the while female 6'7 years.

The average negro male infant will reach 52 years. and the negro female ‘s52 years, This lower ex- pectation must be interpreted, l think, as evidence of poorer hy- geniu- conditions rather than any ucficiency of racial stamina.

In both cases, it will be observ- ed, nature stacks me cards againsi the males-which is not what one might expect. To account for this i[ has been observed that women have in the past led sheltered lives, while the bread-winner has toiled strenuously and often dail- gerously. If this is the reason, we can expect the entrance o1 women into the factory and the foundry w lower 1111811’ average of d’) years.

The shorter expectation of lift by the'nlale has also been ex- pliiineri-frctn s biological stand- point; as hinted ill Proverbs 3i, 3.

OLD ENGLAND

In thLs instalment there are some scattered observations con- cerning our very distant ancesiors, still io be made before we Lake leave of them.

Iii the latter part of the Ii'oil Age, bclgic invaders spread ovei inc district “cw known as East Anglia, as well as other adjacent pEtlLi. Their victories provided pisoners for the slave trade which was not ihc least important branch oi British commerce at that. date A few of the slave clmins, on which the younli Britons ivore sen. t0 market, are to be seen in mus- cunls. One found at Barton, Cani- brldgesfiire, was l2 feet long and had six iron collars attached when these were rivettcd on, the viciiim could only walk in close "Indian file."
