The Goodwin Sands, which have so often
caused the destruction Ct our ships, are very
remarkable banks situated between the n.
and Soath Forclands opposite Deal and
Ramsgatc, and about Z or miles from the
coast. The length Of the sand is about ~
miles, and the breadth nearly 2, and CON
sists of a more saft, fluid porous, spongious,
but withal tenacious matter, than the neigh
boring sands and consequently OF such a
quality that when a ship strikes upon it,
there is LITTLE chance of her getting off, the
nature of the sand being such as to swallow
the vessel up sometimes III few hours,
while the surf which breaks upon them rem

wavcs--Nhen the Trinity House, some
years since formed design to erect a
light house upon them, the engineers en-

their boring augers but they could reach nc
solid bottom, as the spongy materials reached
to such depth as to render the design ut

in consequence established. On the Goth OF
