The light keeper and Annie spent all of their time maintaining the lighthouse. The weekends were their only opportunity to leave their post and visit Georgetown. One day, on a return trip, the waters became violent and the boat began to sink. Desperate, the father tied his daughter to his back and swam ashore. By the time he reached land, the light keeper was too exhausted to stay awake and her fell asleep in the sand, When he awoke her realized Annie was still strapped to his back. He hurriedly untied her, but it was too late, Annie had drowned. After his daughter's death, the light keep became despondent, holing himself up in the lighthouse where he eventually passed away.
