There was a clatter of feet down the
Iron stairs. Tlie men of the watch
were bustling to unbar the Iron door.
A solidly built, circular raft had been
lowered from the Trinity tender.
An aaslatant keeper, wearing a cork
jacket, with a rope about bla walat.
was clinging to a stumpy mast In the
center. Two stout guide ro|x*s were
manipulated from the deck of tlie ves­
sel. and the flat, unwieldy mass of
tlmtx*r wna slowly drifting nearer to
the lighthouse with the tide.
Tlie door of the column opened to­
ward the east, so tlie wind, with Its
pelting sheets of spray, was almost tn

granite shaft Itself afforded some de­
gree of protection for the entrance.
The scheme algnal<*d from the steamer

raft might lx* made to drift near

It waa ills duty to attach the two
ropes and thus render It possible for a

vessel to tin* pillar. There waa no oth­
er way. Tlie lighthouse did not possess
11 rojie of sufficient length to lx» drawn
