Since the seventy-five miles per hour wind almost engulfed the boat, they sought shelter in the lee of Lonely Island and cast anchor among the rocks. The I igh t house keeper, concerned about their plight, struggled down to shore and kept vigil throughout the night, checking their anchor ropes and encouraging them by radio.
