HUGE TIDES
RISE OF OYER 60 FEET WALL OF WATER RUSHES BNI The Bay of Fundy .in eastern Canada is remarkable for the extraordinary great rise and fall of its tides. In the lower reaches this is about 25 feet, which increases toward the upper cent till sometimes the immense height of 62 f£et is reached. In many placcs only an expense of red mud can be seen at low water, over which the tide rushed in a wail often six feet high. A remarkable fact is that at spring tides the water in the Bay of Fundy is 19 feet higher than in Northumberland Strait, which is only 15 miles away.
