Excerpt from Saved at Sea: An Lighthouse Story It was a terrible storm. My grandfather said he had never known such a storm since he came to live on the island, more than forty years before. Many ships went down in the storm that day, and many lives were lost. But in the very midst of it, when the wind was highest, and the waves were strongest, and when the foam and the Spray had completely covered the lighthouse windows, I, Alick Fergusson, was born.
