It was almost midnight when a young girl climbed the stairs to get to the top of a light tower. Once she reached her destination, she filled the lamp with oil, trimmed the wick, and polished carbon off the reflectors. She knew she would have to wake up before dawn to put the light out. The lightkeeper's daughter sighed and headed down the stairs. She didn't know at that time she would be the one to save more than 30 people from drowning.
