It is time Dr. Carey
was here, David.
Late he is and we must go
out on the ebb tide. -Aye.
Is it him we're waiting
for? -And Sergeant Jones.
They have to make a report on poor Jack
Davis, the lightkeeper who was killed.
Drowned wasn't he? Poor devil.
He just disappeared.
Disappeared like the other
lightkeeper before him.
Well, I hope it ain't catching.
For poor Tom Evans. It is him we will
be bringing off from the light tonight.
What, the other lightkeeper? I
wasn't told this. What's his trouble?
His poor brain got twisted by what he
saw the night Jack Davis died. -Cuckoo?
Only yesterday we knew it. There
were signals from the light.
relief boat get out to the light.
there now? -Claff Owen. -Owen?
My brother. -Let's get this straight.
There's you two Owens here right now,
then there's Claff Owen
at the lighthouse now.
Then there's the Owen who drove me
down in the car. That makes four.
Anymore Owens?
Well, there is John Owen in the
coal and William Owen, the gas.
They are the cousins of
Owen and Owen at the post.
And there is Iva Owen at
the farm and Trevor Owen.
Owen, Owen, Owen,
ain't anybody paying?
That's not bad.
There will be a sea getting up
before long, Griffith. -Yeah.
Wasn't there a big wreck around
here last year? -Yes, indeed.
One of the Fern line, it was. My
son Emerus was in her, whatever.
It was a lot of men
from this country.
It was the North Stake
light that drowned them all.
You'd better be careful what you're
saying. I mean, this is serious, this is.
You'd better not let Trinity House hear
him. How could the light drown him?
But he is right, lightkeeper. It
was the light that drowned them all.
Everybody knows it is a haunted light.
And when a ship comes into the channel,
suddenly out goes the light and another
light comes up onto the cliffs,
and the ship goes
on to the rocks over there.
A phantom light, I tell you.
Oh. So this is a good
place for wrecks, is it?
Well, now, I'm going
to tell you something.
It ain't going to spoil my sheet.
I've been in the service now
for 25 years come Michaelmas,
and I've never had
me light go out yet.
Hello, David. -Dr. Carey, this is Mr.
Higgins, the new chief lightkeeper.
Good evening, Mr. Higgins.
-Good evening, sir.
I suppose they've been chilling
Well, they've been
doing the best, sir.
They tell me the Merry
Fern signaled up channel.
Claff Owen will be pleased. His
son's the chief officer on board.
What ships that, sir? -The Merry Fern.
-But I thought she was wrecked last year.
Oh, no, no, that was
