on the shore. Last week WE had three
tempestuous days, with heavy SEA, rough
breakers, and so fast and high, that
bathing, though excellent, was busy
work plunging through or mounting
the breakers. One day IT was too rough
to hathe, and vessels sought the Break.

beach awaiting him.
If aware OF the eagles presence, the
hawk flies low to prevent the eagle

fish, but finding it useless give a scream
and drop it, and the eagle catches it
