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, was 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.c) In not more than 50 words, summarise what all happened at Flannan Isle.​
