Runnel Stone
The Runnel Stone ((コーンウォール語:Men Reunel), meaning ''stone abounding in seals''), or Rundle Stone, is a hazardous rock pinnacle situated about south of Gwennap Head, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom that used to show above the surface at low water until a steamship struck it in 1923.
==Marks==
A buoy currently marks the position of the Runnel Stone. Until May 2012 it was topped with a flashing light, a bell which peals with the movement of the waves and was also fitted with a whistle set in a tube, which emitted a moaning sound when there was a good swell running. This mournful noise could be heard clearly from Gwennap Head, drifting in from the sea, and added to the eerie atmosphere on the cliffs in foggy conditions. In a gale during the 1960s, the buoy became tangled in a drifting cargo ship's anchor line, and the buoy was towed into Mount's Bay. On 13 May 2012, the buoy was replaced by THV ''Patricia'' with a larger one, with a whistle to replace the bell.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.trinityhouse.co.uk/mariner_info/notice_to_mariners/e/14052012.html )〕
One 19th century attempt to attach a warning buoy to the Runnel Stone was led by the naval Lieutenant Hugh Goldsmith (nephew of the famous poet Oliver Goldsmith) aboard the cutter HMS Nimble. After several unsuccessful attempts Lt Goldsmith and a number of his crew turned their attention inland and succeeded in toppling the famous rocking stone, Logan Rock from its precarious perch on the Treryn Dinas headland east of Porthcurno, much to the dismay of local people.
