Even the sandstone walls, by which the whole affair, great and small, was hemmed in, were just like the cliff about South Head; there were lines, too, on the face of them, Jim and I made out, just like where the waves had washed marks and levels on the sea-rock. We didn't trouble ourselves much about that part of it.
And, if you don't quite believe me, then just think What is more cheap and plentiful than sea-rock? Then why should there not be sea-toffee as well? And, perhaps, that is the very reason why the place is called Nice, because there are so many nice things in the sea there: at least, if it is not, it ought to be.
Island, continent, lone sea-rock, hidden shoal, they are all mapped to his eye. The faithful needle points due north. The true sun rises where he always has. The faithful, changeless stars look down at midnight. The truth saves him, rocked in the arms of the wild sea. The reality holds him secure.
Those, however, who reach their homes in safety, make it a religious duty to offer up their grateful thanks. The purposes of this sea-rock church struck me as a fine and beautiful expression of affection. I fear we lack much of this kind of sentiment in England daily blessings are taken too much as a matter of course, while reverses are loudly mourned over as afflictions.

The engineer, when he prepared the designs, estimated that an outlay of L78,000, or $390,000, would be incurred. As a matter of fact, the building cost only L59,255, or $296,275, and a saving of L18,000, or $90,000, in a work of this magnitude is no mean achievement. All things considered, the Eddystone is one of the cheapest sea-rock lights which has ever been consummated.
