The first glimpse of Great Britain
that the American tourist gets on bis
Enropean tour is that of the Fastest
lighthouse.
It stands on a ragged and solitary
rock, situated nine miles south of Croak-
haven, at the extreme sonthwest corner
cf Ireland, and iB, perhaps, more storm
beaten than any other around onr coast.
The rock is 80 feet in height, and th*
lighthouse towers another 70 feet above,
yet, in waiter gales, the Atlantio bil­
lows literally bombard the massiva
stricture and have even smashed in a
portion o f the lantern at the summit o f
the erection, the seas frequently sweep­
ing over tbe ruck with tremendous force.
Borne two or three years ago the stormy
weather then prevailing prevented all
commnuication with the ruck for many
weeks, so that tbe store of food was con­
sumed, with the exception of some flonx.
A t last a schooner managed to approach
sufficiently near to enable a small qna^
tity of food to be dragged through tha
sea by the hnugry men, and, fortunate­
ly, the next day the sea moderated, anA
the stores were once more fo lly replen­
ished.
Except in very calm weather the Fast-
net is snrronnded by a fringe of foam,
and the ouly means of landiug is by tha-
aid of a “ j i b " 58 feet in length, so
placed on tbe rock that, in moderata
weather, Its end reaches ontside tha
surf. When a visitor wishes to laud (an
nnnsnal occurrence), be is rowed in a
small boat as near as tbe waves permit,
and the light keepers throw ont a sm all
buoy, attached to a rope, which is sa-
cnrrd by tho man in the boat. The jib
is then swung ont, and the visitor, plac­
ing one foot in tbe loop aud catching
tight hold of the rope, is hoisted about
40 feet vertically, and then the jib, be­
ing pivoted at its foot, swings him hori­
zontally abont 100 feet on toasafe laud­
ing.— London Sketch.

The youngest member of the noisy

his conversation with the interesting
