While Stamford Lighthouse Keeper Tossed About In Tiny Launch
on Stormy Long Island Sound His Seventy-year
old Mother Stood at His Post.
Putting from the rock ribbed light
house off Stamford. Conn., In only n
linlf gale, John J. Cook, the keeper,
called a merry adieu to Ills old mother,
and she waved cheerily hack. They
had reason to be glad, for the wife of
the lighthouse keeper had recovered
sutHciently from a dangerous Illness
to In? able to be with her husband
again.
That was early on Thursday even
ing. and' the speedy little launch
should have made the trip to the Con
necticut mainland and back to the lone
rock on wblch the lighthouse stood In
about one hour, hrluglng the convales
cent wife along.
"Remember the light, mother!" John
called jokingly as the little launch set
tled lu tiie stern and took a bone In
her bow under the eight horsepower
engine. It was long before twilight
and hardly a chance that he wouldu't
be back before dusk with the wife and
were drifting past Oyster Bay by that
time, anil darkness was gathering, and"
never was the 8otunl In so unruly a
mood? bail night on the sound without
a harbor light, and so cold!
Then across the foam crested waves
shot a twinkling. Having bnr of white
from tlio faroflf Stamford lighthouse.
"Thank God!" muttered the shivering
keeper.
"That's grandma," murmured the in
valid wife sleepily from her comfort
able coverings.
It wasn't long until they hit the rip.
where the tides meet corning up from
the bay and rushing in from Montnuk
|K>lnt. The sea anchor wasn't much
good In that swirl, as It was white
capped as a tidal wave, but the launch
rode well, and Cook balled and balle !
and told his uncomplaining wife It wus
all right, which she knew It was whei
he said so. So the dangerous rip swirl

maiuland, yet so far awfly. in its rigid,

from land with glasses.
The invalid was at the pier, with a
slight flush in her i>ale cheeks at see
ing her rugged husband again.
"How's grandma?" she asked, and
?John said tine, and the babies too.
The trip back was like a homecom
ing, the invalid taking in the free air
with expanding lungs of returning
health. And the.v ?ould dimly make
? ?ut a tint ter of wi-ite from the light
house railing. 0 r.:rdtna was waving

nodding again and Cook balling out
until he could drop and saying a cheery
word now and then at a stir 'neath th#
tarpaulins.
Always and steadily all night there
shone for wreck craft or steamer,
tow or gale driven schooner, the warn
ing beams from the rook ribbed Stain
ford lighthouse pointing the channel
way to safety.
At daylight the crew of the Eaton's
Nock life saving station saw a bobbing
oork far out In the sound. I.usty ours
men were soon there and in two hours
more had towed the broken down
launch thirteen miles across the sound
to the lighthouse, where the beacon
: till gleamed.
A flue little old woman, bent and
shaken with that awful night, when
she feared and felt her two beloved
had gone down in the1 waters, crept
down the railing steps of the stony
lighthouse.
"I'm gald you are better, dearie.'
she said, totteriqg a little under tho
warm , embrace of tho luvalld, who
locked on the gray rocks of her light
house home as the garden spot of tin
earth.
"Wo watched the light, mother," was
all John said, but grandma knew and
suilled.
