The Cape Mendocino Lighthouse keeper’s house is now fully engulfed in flames on January 29, 1962. The Eureka Humboldt Standard newspaper in its January 30, 1962 edition wrote, “A land party in the immediate charge of U.S. Coast Guard Group Commander William Hughes of the Humboldt Bay Lifeboat Station at Samoa handled the job with efficiency and dispatch. The last lone sentinel remaining will go the same way as soon as it can be safely accomplished. What is left today are history, ashes, and a lonely eye which gleams in the night.” (Photo courtesy Humboldt State University)
