In 1866 a rock was selected for a lighthouse which was at the lowest tide five feet out of water. I'he task of erecting the pro. osed structare on sacha spot seemed wopoless, but it was a case where even the apparently impossible "had to be tried. Work was begun by boring holes in the rock, one fuot deep und three foet apart, to be subsequently filled with bars of iron extending upward into the masonry that wus to be laid. Because it was only at rare intervals that a lan ling on the rock was practicable, a contract wis made with the fishermen of Sein to bore the holes whenever there was an opportunity. Whenever there was a chance to land, they hostened to the rock with small boats, carrying tools and life boats, and lied hammer and deill between the ie The mon who were washed away wore picsel up by the bouts. At the end of the first year's labor seven landings had been made and fifteen holes wore bored. In 15869 the necessary num bor of holes had been made and the iron bolts were insorted, masonry being laid around them with quick cement. By 1875 the foundation was eight feet above high water mark.
