A Christmas story for John

Here is how a story called "John and the Lighthouse's Secret" might begin:

The beam of the lighthouse sliced through the icy darkness, painting a fleeting path across the frozen, churning sea. John, snug in his bunk, listened to the mournful wail of the wind. Below, his father whistled a Christmas tune as he polished the lantern room glass. Suddenly, a high-pitched, desperate squeak pierced the storm's roar – a sound not of the wind, nor the gulls. It was a faint, frantic plea, coming from somewhere outside, just beneath the lighthouse's churning gears. John shivered, pulled on his thickest sweater, and knew he had to investigate.

What happens next? A strange, urgent cry from the storm-swept sea leads John to a chilly discovery that requires quick thinking and bravery.
