It was 1856. Abbie, her mother and her sisters were eating dinner.
Suddenly the kitchen became very dark. The wind rattled the windows. The shutters slammed against the lighthouse.
Abbie ran to the window. The sky was dark.
"Is it a storm?" Abbie's mother asked? She was very scared.
"Yes," Abbie answered.
"Your father will be caught in the storm," her mother screamed. "His boat will turn over. He will drown!"
Abbie put her arm around her mother. "He has had all day to sail. The wind has been good. He should be near the land by now. He will be all right."
Abbie and her family lived on Matinicus Rock. It was a huge rock in the sea. Abbie's father was in charge of the lighthouse on the rock.
