A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The lamp had been dark for three nights when Ada Penhale climbed the iron stairs and found the cats on the gallery rail, sitting shoulder to shoulder and facing the same way, as though they had agreed on the sea between them. Sorrel was the grey one, Gull the white, and neither had moved when she called them in the evenings, though they had always come down for their fish at six.

Tom had taken the supply boat out in March to fetch paraffin from Porthgwin and had not come back on the afternoon tide. The coastguard had shrugged at the weather and the newspaper had printed his name in the small type at the bottom of a column. Ada had kept the light going regardless, because the rule book did not care who was missing, and every night the cats had followed her up the stairs and sat where they sat now, watching the channel as if it owed them an explanation.

She wound the clockwork by hand, the weights dropping slow through the tower, and lit the wick with the long brass taper Tom liked to use. The beam swung out across the water and caught the white horses of the reef, and for a moment the rail glowed with it. Sorrel's tail curled around the bar. Gull's ears swivelled toward the harbour mouth and stayed there.

Ada sat down on the cold boards between them and pulled her shawl tight. She did not look at the water. She counted the sweeps of the light instead, one, two, three, until the cats leaned in against her sleeves, and somewhere past the ninetieth turn a small dark shape came round the point, rowing slowly, with a lantern of its own.
