SERIOUS DAMAGE.
Mr.. Joseph Durham, from jamestown.
and who has charge of the property Oh
the island belonging to the Society for
the Preservation Of Virginia Antiquities
informed the writer to-day that the re-
cent high tides and heavy blows had de-
stroyed more than half Of the stone sea-
wall around the southwestern portion Of
the island, which IL cost the General
Government $1,000 last spring 10 put mp.
The high tides washed between the pieces
a. stone. and as the dirt In the rear gave
away. the wall fell backwards until much
az 1t is entirely buried in the sand. The
work of destruction commenced with the
first heavy blow after the wall had been
put up. and has been going on ever
since. The water now washes up to the
bank behind the wall. and ii is only a
question Of q short time when almost
me entire wall will be destroyed
