English tale of a lighthouse emptied of oil by a madman who forces his way indoors, locking up the remaining keeper when his mate goes ashore in search of fresh supplies. The keeper's struggle to free himself and determination to keep the fog-bell sounding at least, to warn ships, while the madman is shooting at him, comprise the tale. Slight. (PB)
