Here 198 THE LIZARD POINT. are two large and massive lighthouses, whose bases are 168 feet above the sea, and 212 feet apart. Each tower is 61 feet high, and each lantern contains nineteen re- flectors, which can be seen at a distance of twenty-one miles. Between the two, which were erected by Mr. Fonnereau, in 1751, and worked with coal-fires up to the year 1813, are built the residence and offices ; so contrived that a long passage leads from one to the other, whereby LIZARD POINT LIGHTHOUSE.... the keepers communicate without going out of doors. " These beacons, " says a recent writer, " display two lights, to distinguish the Lizard from Scilly, known to mariners by one, and from Guernsey, which exhibits three. Notwithstanding, however, the brilliant illumination which is hence thrown for miles over the sea, ships, embayed in thick weather between the Lizard and Tol Pedn Pen- with, are frequently lost in the vicinity of this headland, and the cliffs are of such a character that it is almost AT PLYMOUTH.
