In presenting this account of Jack Straw’s latest adventures it has been my good fortune to have the friendly advice of Dr. Raymond Haskell, Superintendent of the Third Light House District, and William H. Moon of the Lighthouse Service. I have also sought for assistance the pages of Commissioner George R. Putnam’s “Beacons of the Sea,” Talbot’s “Light Ships and Lighthouses” and the “Lighthouse Service Bulletin.”
