Read the following passage and do the activity.

When Grace was ten years old the family went to live in the Longstone lighthouse.
Their new home was on some wild islands, near the east coast of England. The Darling
children grew up here. When they were older they left their lonely home, one by one, and
found work in the cities. At last, all of them had left the lighthouse, except Grace, who stayed
at home to help her mother and father. She had not grown very tall. She was only a little
woman, not at all like her father, who was more than six feet tall.
On the night of September 6th 1838, a terrible storm was blowing. Grace was used to
storms. She herself was warm and safe in the big lighthouse. But she was always unhappy
about the poor sailors who were at sea in the storm.
She did not know that a terrible thing was happening that night. That night a ship
was wrecked upon the rocks. Grace and her parents did not hear the sound of the crash.
The noise of the wind and the waves was too loud. They could not hear anything else. But a
ship called the Forfarshire had hit the rocks a mile away from the lighthouse. Most of the
passengers were drowned, but nine men and women were able to climb on to a rock. The
wind nearly blew them into the sea as they clung to the bare rock. In the distance they saw
the warm light of the lighthouse. But of course their shouts and screams were not heard. All
night they clung there in the storm.​
