A special steamer had to be built,
at a cost o8 850,000, 10 transport .the
building material and men to the rock.
During the earlier portions of the work
the men cwuld only remain at their
post for a low' ileum between the tides,
and only then when the weather was
fairly calm. After the work had pro-
gressed some little (Estates a plumber

taken back by the lifeboat. It was

The new t4iver is 147 feet in height,
and built of hard granite obtained from
quarries in Cornwall. At the base It
is 52 feet in diameter, and is .perfect-
ly solid for a depth of 48 feet. This
Ms been obtained by a mervellous sys-
tem of dovetailing, by which one stone
is grafted into its fellow above es well

makes the lighthouse practically one

The lower is capped by a lantern of
special design, protected by wires and

is of 750,000 candle-power, 'and its
beam can be seen twenty miles out To

prises four men, relieved twice a month,
weather permitting. The costof main-
tenance averages about $5,000 a year,
to which $1,000 is contributed by
