It was Hyland who approached the Burkes about buying the lighthouse property at Robinson's Point from Aubrey Greenlaw, whose forebears settled en Isle au Haut in the 1850s. Robinson's Point, newest of the more than 60 lighthouses along the Maine coast, was lit for the first time in 1907 on Christmas Eve to mark the entrance to the thoroughfare between Isle au Haut and Kimball's Island. Only two keepers, both with descendants still living on Isle au Haut, tended the light during the nearly 30 years in 50 percent of the visitors ty was sold. vacation retreat for several a weeks each summer. Judi Burke herself is no stranger to lighthouses, having grown up on Cape Cod. Mass., where her father, a Coast Guard petty officer, was keeper of the Highland Light. The Burkes, veterans of the Peace Corps and Vietnam War protests, paid $190,000 for the sky keeper's house, a 'boathouse and other buildings near the lighthouse, and then sank more than $100,000 into improvements. "Our time and money has gone into sewage, plumbing, the well, bathrooms, the staircase to the third floor and the third floor itself," said Burke. They have built a pier so the mail boat from Stonington. eight miles away, can drop guests at their doorstep. There is no telephone, television or electricity, but guests are supplied with hot water. The innkeepers, confident that their high-ris- k venture will succeed, plan to reopen the inn, which recently completed its first season, next Memorial Day weekend. The lighthouse itself, its entrance blocked by a wire gate, remains government property. Burke is hopeful that the Coast Guard will eventually give him a key to the lighthouse so he can show visitors how it looks inside. eipht-to-on- EPCOT AREA OISNEYWORLD FREE TUX RENTAL HOTEL AIR 8 selected for the Epcot Institute of Entertainment Arts.

Lighthouse buffs say "The Keeper's House." which opened this summer, is the only commercial venture of its kind situated on the property of a functioning lighthouse on the East Coast. As such, the project has been drawn into a mounting debate over how best to keep America's lighthouses from deteriorating as they yield to automation. Lighthouses, dating back as early as the 18th century, hold a sdVcial place in the nation's psyche as they evoke images of lonely guardians who hold back the storm-tosseseas. These stalwart sentinels that dot the coast are both beacons of hope to mariners in distress and points of interest for tourists. Of the roughly 500 lighthouses operated by the Coast Guard along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and the Great Lakes, fewer than three dozen still retain keepers. These manned towers are scheduled to be automated by the end of the decade, completing a process that the service estimates has saved roughly $50 million. But the installation of computerized robot lights and foghorns has its downside: the ravages of weather, vandalism and time that can set untended lighthouses and their adjacent buildings on the path to ruin. The Lighthouse Preservation Society of Rockport, Mass., views "The Keeper's House" as the kind of tasteful private sector venture Hills.
