Preface
Lighthouses are a relic of the past
1.The Lightkeepers
The Cape's lit!
I'm never gonna be on no space shuttle!
His cooking is slowly killing him
I'll never be able to do this!
Good for Coughs, Colds, Itchy Holes.
2. The Nuts and Bolts of Lightkeeping
She Would Take Off!
It gave an excellent light
Foghorns
All there was, was blood and feathers!
They'd just shoot halfway out of the water and roll over on one side
Heyday
3. A Family Affair
We would see other lights blossoming in the dark
Working with Father
The lighthouse as a home
Set for life
That lighthouse was hopping!
4. Lighthouse Women
That's Not Men's Work!
Lighthousekeeping and housekeeping
Sixteen Smileys
I used to climb the tower and cry
Evelyn Richardson: An Enduring Brilliance
My Island of Dreams
The Most Important Light on the Island
5. Foghorns - The Voice of Conscience
The foghorn was the lifesaver
I just loved that old thing!
It literally was like somebody had come into the house!
Now when will he call?
Waiting for a foghorn to blow!
Fun with foghorns
Who's listening, anyway?
6. Wind,Waves, and Weather Whims
At that very moment, a green wave went by the window
You'd wash right out to sea
It was a bad breeze
It gets kinda hairy!
You wanna talk about people running around in polka-dot nightgowns!
She got over it in time
Ice
I set outdoors and watched 'er burn
They were blowing horns and shouting for their lives for the keeper to save them.
The water's comin' in overthe boat!
This thing's got a movement all of her own
7. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
I wouldn't trade my childhood for anybody's around
An adventure every day
.22s and tea towels
Slingshots and seals
Better knights and better ladies
I lost my childhood
Wipin' the tears down from her face
A rugged and healthy lifestyle
8. Strange and Wonderful
Double Alec-Sambro Island's spectre
Horatio Nelson's ghost
Forerunners and cold fire
Bones for Uncle Frank
Something's watching us
Holy Jesus! You saw old Jim Burgoyne!
It was a face you'd never forget
9. War
The ABCs of coastal defence
Aircraft Detection Corps
The Army and Chebucto Head
The war wasn't that far away at all
It was better than living in the city!
The end of war
10.The End of the Lightkeeper
Lightkeepers took pride in their station
Leave it until I'm gone
It turned us sick to go back there
I think I'm the most fortunate of men
