TIDAL INROADS AT DUNEDIN.
(BY TELEGRAPH- -PRESS ASSOCIATION). Dunedin, Last Night. At high tide yesterday morning the sea broke through a gap thirty feet wide east of the Central battery, flooding the low-lying sections in the neighbourhood to the extent of perhaps half the bulk of the last inroad. The Public Works Department were erecting a barricade of planks across the gap, and the work was finished except this opening of thiity feet. The water also cut away a large slice out of the sand hills at the St. Clair end, eating into the properties on the Esplanade.
