Lockley rapidly arranged to buy the salvage rights for the sum of £5,and he recruited a team of helpers to assist him in the salvage operation. The coal, timber and other items he rescued from the wreck enabled Lockley to survive the winter and complete the renovation of the cottage.In addition to founding the bird observatory, and erecting Britain's first Heligoland traps, Lockley carried out much pioneering research work on the island's seabirds, establishing for the first time the incubation and fledging periods of Puffins, Manx Shearwaters and Storm Petrels, and doing many experiments on the navigational powers of shearwaters,8vo 149pp First Edition.
