Question

On the night of December 15th, 1900 a sudden storm broke out in the vicinity of the
islands. The crew of a passing ship, the Fairwind, were angry and disturbed that no
guiding light from the newly built Flannan Isle lighthouse appeared to be in operation.
Nothing appeared to have been done about it. Perhaps the authorities felt that it was
best to wait a few days, as the relief ship, the Hesperus, was due to sail out to the
islands on December 20th.
Bad weather delayed the sailing and the Hesperus didn’t set out until dawn on December
26th. On the Hesperus were fresh supplies for the lighthouse and Joseph Moore, who
was due to relieve one of the other keepers on watch duty. Moore was anxious about
the mystery of the dead light. He knew that it was virtually unheard of for lighthouse
keepers to allow a light to go out like that. On the short voyage to the islands he was
restless, filled with foreboding, pacing the deck and refusing any breakfast.
Things were mysterious on the lighthouse island from the moment they arrived. There
was no welcoming committee from the three men, no provisions boxes had been put
out to be restocked, and the flag wasn’t up on the flagpole. The Hesperus anchored in
silence, and Joseph Moore headed for the lighthouse, calling out as he did so, trying
to break the eerie silence that enveloped the island.
Inside the lighthouse nothing looked out of the ordinary. The oil lamps were ready to
use, the beds were untidy, as if the men had just got up, the washing-up done, and cold
ashes were in the fireplace. Other reports state that a chair was overturned in the kitchen
– although some observers believe this was a later, journalistic, exaggeration – and
the clocks had all stopped. What is agreed is that two sets of outdoor clothing were
missing, and only one set of oilskins remained. This meant one of the men had gone
out without his protective weather gear on – something that would have been virtually
unheard of. Not only was this wholly impractical, but for all three men to leave the light
unattended at once went against the rules laid down by the Northern Lighthouse Board.
So much myth and folklore has grown up over the mystery of Flannan Isle that some
have reported that when Joseph Moore first opened the main door, three strange birds
flew out. As the lighthouse tower was searched, odd strands of seaweed were found
both on the stairs and in the little cupboard where the lighthouse logbook was kept.
A comprehensive search was made of the island. At the landing stage they found
extraordinary damage. Iron railings were bent grotesquely out of shape as if by some
unearthly force and some of them were completely wrenched out of the concrete. The
conclusion was that the damage had been caused during the terrible storm.

Imagine that you are Joseph Moore from Passage A. You decide to stay on at the lighthouse and investigate what has happened. It is the next morning.
Write an account for the events of the previous day and night.
In your account you should:
• describe your thoughts and feelings on the way to the island
• describe what you found when you landed and entered the lighthouse
• say what you think might have happened to the previous keepers and why they cannot be found.
Base your account on what you have read in Passage A, but do not copy from it.
Be careful to use your own words. Address each of the three bullets.
Begin your journal entry: ‘This was the most disturbing experience...’.
Write about 200 to 300 words.
