A WASHAWAY.
TROUBLE ALONG THE SEATOUN FQRJSSHORE. The recant north-westerly gale w severely felt at Seatoun, and the Wgh seas which hurled themselves relentlessly at the beach between the wharf' and "the Pinnacles" did a good deal of serious damage to the Beach Road, which runs between the line of private property and tho beach. An effort was made some three years ago to preserve a strip of land there for the purposes of a promenade, and tho council made an attempt to enlist the -sympathies of the /and-owners. For abont twelve, chains south-east of the wharf the owners agreed to dedicate enough land to make a sufficient breadth between their boundaries and the beach to form a road and in return a protecting .sea-wall of concrete wns built. Further along uie proporty-own-ers declined to dedicate, so the wall ended abruptly, leaving' the foreshore free to the winds and the waves. They took full leave on Friday last to leap landlords, and such was their force and reach that thp line of tho road was washed completely away for quite a distance, and n wet tido-washed beac.lv roaches , up to tho pegs of private property, which was formerly protected by a. strip of solid land.
