Percy and the Lighthouse

Percy and the Lighthouse is a magazine story.

Plot
On the farthest end of Sodor, there is a lighthouse out at see on an island of rocks. Percy brings coal to the harbour that is shipped to the lighthouse to power it and when the lighthouse keeper comes ashore, he always greets Percy.

One day, the keeper is on the platform of the harbour station reading a book on Morse Code. Percy asks about it and the keeper explains, using SOS as an example. Percy thinks this is very interesting and talks about it all night, leaving Gordon very annoyed at being kept awake. He also thinks Percy will have no use for Morse Code anyway.

A week later, Percy is collecting shingles for the quarry when he passes the area where he can see the lighthouse. To his surprise, Percy sees the lighthouse's beacon flashing on and off. He soon realises this is Morse Code for SOS and hurries to the next station where Harold is called. Harold flies over to the lighthouse and returns with the keeper and explains he had fallen down the stairs and hurt his leg. The keeper is grateful that Percy saw his signal and Percy is pleased he can now tell Gordon how useful Morse Code is.
