BEING THE STORY OF A GREAT FIGHT BETWEEN MAN AND THE SEA.
Extract Letter from the Secretary of Northern Lighthouses.
" ... They (the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses) have been so much pleased with the way in which you have combined the fiction of a tale with the popular but correct account of the building of the Bell Rock Lighthouse, that they think it would be an interesting work to transmit to their Lightkeepers, and I have therefore to request that you will direct your publishers to transmit me—copies. (Signed) ALEXR. CUNNINGHAM."
"Thoroughly at home in subjects of adventure, the Author has made this, like all his stories for boys, smart in style, thrilling in interest, and abounding in incidents of every kind."—Quiver.
