It was a cold day in October 1858. It had been warm for many days. Then it turned cool.
There was a breeze blowing across the water.
Eighteen year old Ida Lewis stared out across the sea. She loved living on Lime Rock.
Her father was the keeper of the Lime Rock Lighthouse.
Now Ida did the keeper's jobs. She climbed the stairs each night. She took care of the lamps in the tower.
She also kept watch out to sea.
As she was making supper, she looked out the window. There were lots of waves on the sea. They were getting higher.
Suddenly Ida saw something in the water. It was a small sailboat.
There were three boys sitting in the boat. Another boy was up on the mast of the boat.
The boat was rocking back and forth! If it turned in the water, it would be in trouble. The waves would hit it on the side. That would knock it over.
If the mast swung too far to the side, water would get in the boat. It could turn over. It could sink.
A moment later it happened. The boat turned on its side. The boys were thrown into the water.

Find out how Ida saves the boys from the boat in this exciting 15-minute book.
