Book excerpt: This book is a biography of Grace Horsley Darling, an English lighthouse keeper's daughter. Her participation in the rescue of survivors from the shipwrecked Forfarshire in 1838 brought her national fame. The paddle steamer ran aground on the Farne Islands off the coast of Northumberland in northeast England; nine members of the crew were saved.
