A LONELY LIGHT. —An aerial view of Fastnet Lighthouse, set on a rock off the Irish coast. This lighthouse is the last light seen on the westward trip to America, and the first light seen on the homeward voyage. Four miles west of Cape Clear, County Cork, and covering the approach to Roaring Water Bay, Fastnet stands 160 ft. above high tide, its white light flashiing every five seconds. It is called upon to withstand the tremendous gales which sweep in from the Atlantic.
