MAJOR JONES.
Late of some forgotten regiment of long ago, the 70 year old Major carried his years with the unbending severity of a parade- ground martinet, his back ramrod straight as though being inspected by an invisible adjutant. A true friend of Sedgewick Harris.
It was in the late autumn of ‘57 that Sedgewick Harris first received the singular communication. A letter, bearing the franking of County Mayo, described in bleak terms, remarkable occurrences on a lighthouse that had been deserted for more than forty years.

“The lane will be impassable. If we die in here they won’t find us until Easter.”

‘I refuse to die holding one of the Sedgewick Harris books,” Jonathan said firmly. “It would be too humiliating.”
It began with an envelope that should never been delivered to The Cottage. Jonathan unwittingly opened it and read the brief contents.
The ever alert Sedgewick Harris heard the sudden intake of breath.
“What’s wrong, Jonathan?’
