The tender Hesperus, which left| here last week in the teeth of the fiercest gale encountered on the West Coast of Scotland this winter, has successfully brought to an end the 12 weeks lonely vigil of the brave lighthouse-keepers on Skerry vore, Dhu Hearteach, and Hyskier. Theirs was an experience similar to that of the keepers of the Long- ships Lighthouse reported in the Morning Post on February 20. It was the worst ordeal experienced for over 25 years.

Twice recently Captain Budge and his crew of the Hesperus had been defeated by hurricanes in their brave efforts to relieve the lighthouse-keepers,
