The vagaries of the sea even w'heli there has been a spell of fine weather, and only a moderate to small sea, are to be seen on the sea beach at the present time, a huge quantity- of sand ■being on the move each tide, andi. it is marvellous the alterations on the sea shore that one or two tides make. At the present time there liave been inroads made on what a few weeks ago was a wide expanse of beach, and now some of the old groin ere.ted at the time of the sea encroachment is putting its head above the sand, marking in a noticeable w r ny the amount of .ebris that has recently been shifted. From -the Viver all along the beach, the roots of the growth of sandgrass and lupins is laid bare, shewing that the sea has recently made considerable inroads into the line of the mink that had lasted for several years.
