Their,, presence is viewed with alarm by members of the Sumner Life-Saving Club, who at-, tempted to remove the iron by digging away the covering sand with shovels. They were unsuccessful, however, and although the danger is not very great! at this time of the year there is said to be a very real danger if the ob-1 •itruction is not removed before the i Jpathing season.
