PREFACE ix 



For valued assistance of a varied nature my obliga- 

 tions are also due to the Hon. Gladys Graham Murray, 

 the Misses Baxter and Rintoul, Mr Henry Johnstone, 

 Mr Coventry Dick Peddie, Mr William Evans, Dr 

 Harvie-Brovvn, and Mr John Mackenzie. Nor should 

 the various lighthouse keepers among whom my lot 

 has been so frequently cast be forgotten, especially Mr 

 and Mrs Wallace of Fair Isle. 



In conclusion, I must express my thanks to the 

 Publishers for the great care they have bestowed upon 

 the production of the work.
