    The Coastguard's Light
    26-4-38 One night a coastguard was walking along the rocks at the White Rock. He had a lantern in his hand. He saw some men walking up the beach. He shouted to them and one of the men fired a shot at him. He shot him in the head and killed him. Every night since, a lantern can be seen shining upon the rocks.
