Chapter 2. Endnotes in another file
In winter the supply boat came once a fortnight, weather permitting.1 The keeper kept a list of what to ask for, and the list was always too long.
Storms were logged by the hour: wind direction, wind speed, and the height of the swell.2 The logbooks now fill a shelf in the town library.
When the light was automated, the keeper stayed on for one more year.3 Then she moved to the mainland, to a house with a view of the sea.
Her letters from the mainland mention the light,4 the boat,5 and the sound of the horn on foggy nights.6
The lighthouse still stands, and its beam still turns every night.
