In presenting this account of Jack Straw’slatest adventures it has been my good fortuneto have the friendly advice of Dr. RaymondHaskell, Superintendent of the Third LightHouse District, and William H. Moon of theLighthouse Service. I have also sought forassistance the pages of Commissioner GeorgeR. Putnam’s “Beacons of the Sea,” Talbot’s“Light Ships and Lighthouses” and the “LighthouseService Bulletin.”
