The lighthouse is described as a solitary structure built on a dismal reef of sunken rocks, serving as a place of work and celebration for two men during Christmas.
LIGHTHOUSE
Built upon a dismal reef of sunken rocks, some league or so from shore, on which the waters chafed and dashed, the wild year through, there stood a solitary lighthouse. Great heaps of seaweed clung to its base, and storm-birds--born of the wind, one might suppose, as seaweed of the water--rose and fell about it, like the waves they skimmed.
