Relief of Longships long overdue owing to stormy seas however the real emergency was the sick Keeper Griffiths stranded on Lighthouse

Originally only two men manned Lighthouse, so if one died the other was alone on the rock. Since then four men have been employed in the Service, three on the Lighthouse, one on shore

From Sennen Relief Boat 'Boy James'. This was this Keeper's first Christmas ashore for 16 years
