THE SHA LAMP.
WITH THE LIGHTHOUSE, KEEPERS AT
DUNGENESS..
2:
Standing on the high outside gallery of the lighthouse, you grasp the frozen rail as you sway and stagger in the pouring wind, which seems strong enough to force the earth pull out of its course, as though the heavens were -fractured, and the whole upper aerial food came roaring down through the rest on our little planet, draining the spaces between the stars. Such persistent, unsagging violence could only draw on the infinita tides of the outer.
The south-wester tears at your hands to fling you over, and if it did, away you would go, hurrying and whirling with the scud under the reeling sky, a wisp on the unseen ponder. The place below, the tiny able torrent. houses, few and scattered on the wastes of shingle which slope to the charging seas, con- veys the illusion that it is dizzy with the hurry and roar, that it shifts and sways in the high speed of the clements. The flying wrack passes overhead express, às though the broken sky were falling,
You enter the shelter and sudden calm of the lantern-room, and it, is as if the world had stopped. You shake with the violence of the abrupt pence, till through the windows you see the mud pennants at Lloyd's Signalling Station, and you know you have only become a sheltered inside passenger,
THE REFUSE OF STORMS.. Now you can see the Ness below, steadied and definite alter the blur of its terrific spin, a
As lurlara though the windows clarified it. and barren a spot, this English cape, as any corner of the isles which wades into the seas; you could think it had indeed,-it has-left the highways miles away, stripped itself naked, Rung all grass and clothing far inland, and The wards the plunged bare into the waves. breakers the Ness is a tumult of blue and grey pebbles, immense arrested rollers of worn shingle
Elsewhere the sea cats away the coast, bit- ing into bays, but here in storms vomits the ravaged bones, the indigestible flats, and the has been growing since first the rubbish heap channel fides raced, till now the old pebbles are under Lydd Church, five miles ibland, and Biretch to Walland Narsh on one hand, and Bonney Marsh on the other, a dreary, trac less desert of stones, with an occasional oasis of a few yards of stunted gorse and brown.
Dotted about on the hillocks of flints under the dominating tower of the lighthouse are the keepers, the coastguard, the Lloyd's signalmen. Beyond the dwellings is the fog-signal syren and engine-house. Down on the beach, poised on a mound of stures, is the lifeboat. So small and insignificant is the scattered collection that it seems only a fortuitous gathering, the happening of the winds, unrelated, the timbers thrown up by a storm, till you notice its lines and nerves of telephone wires.
KEBPARS OF THE PASS.
For this is a corporate body, this of Dunge ness, a community of life-savers and helpers, an isolated guard at our outer walls, hgiing the way, and directing with cries the right road for those who are leaving us and those who visit from over seas. In the summer, a part of England, cheered by the towers and hills its rear, looking to neighbourly France over the waters. But on this winter morning it is only a fragment of coast wrenched from our island by the storm, on which we are adrift, the black walls of the driving rain and spume close in on our raft of stones, the only light the luminous green of the seas tearing against the utter dark, and the white glare of the exploding combers as they hurst with loud concussions at the edge of our safety.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH THURSDAY MARCH 22, 1906.
watelier hears the far shouts, faint and despair | ing, of some men in trouble with, whelming brutalities
There is a glimmering of rocket stars in the fog, and the sound of the lifeboat sliding down its hill. le hears the cheering cries of the lifeboat crew, but they are not answered.

"A bad place now," says the watcher. They come towards the syren from east and west, guided by the sound. But they have to pass each other, you know, and sometimes they meet before they can stop."
The beams from the lantern shoot into the drifting mesh of the fog, but at once bury and stop in the impenetrable mass. The smother chokes all sounds but the calls of the steamers to each other, and the regular bellowing on the beach.
Hour after hour the monotonous round stop ping below to listen for the clanking tin on the upper lantern gazing from the upper room through the spy-holes to see if the mirrors reflect the lights alive of the lower lantern, in- specting the clock-work and the oil pumps. Nothing happens, Man's plans are too care. fully made to go wrong. The ships answer at ses, the syren roars "Hero's Dungeness!" from the shore.
POSTED AT LLOYD'S. Without warning, the careful plans, the quiet monotony of routine, are casually broken by the crash of disaster. A sound as though some giant bulk bad ground on the stone ridge and collapsed in a tumult of broken iron." Then the quiet and the fog again.
