10 THE CRESCENT away. Twin lights are shining from two granite towers about sixty yards apart. ln a storm of January 19, 1856 the sea made a complete sweep over the rock which washed away everything moveable. The keeper of the lighthouse happened to be away at the time and his fourteen year old daughter wrote to a friend, dAs the tide came, the sea rose higher and higher until the only 'I endurable places were the light towers.H For four weeks no one could land on the rock but not once did the lightkeeper's daugh- ter let the light go out. Monhegan lighthouse is the most fortunate, because though it is far from the mainland, it stands in the middle of a summer resort. As this also isla popular art colony the walls of the keeper's house are adorned with works of art. . Pemaquid Light stands at the very tip of the peninsula. lt was established in l827 and was connected with the keeper's dwelling place. The heavy surf at all times can be heard pound- ing oeaselessly against the rocks. . Sequin was one of the earliest lighthouses on the coast built in l795 at the cost of 96300. At Cape Elizabeth are also twin lights shown from towers three hundred yards apart. Boon Island has a granite tower, one hundred thirty-six feet high and as the isle is low it appears to spring up from the sea. lt was this lighthouse that inspired Celia Thaxter to write The Efatch of Boon lsland. Today people are wont to think that lighthouses and light- ships are things of the past - almost as ancient as the clipper ships that they guided past rocks and shallows, - but nothing could he farther from the truth. Hardly a day passes without the chance of some keeper to do an act of bravery, or to aid some one in distress. Years will pass and numerous improvements will take place but it is needless to say that we will romembsr the sturdy picturesque lighthouses - the sentinols of our Raine coastline.
