Tidal wave on olIafsop Beach.

A special to the Astorian says of the
recent tidal wave on CIatsop beach:
During the recent high tide Mr.. and
Mrs. Newman, NJ. j. Young. Mrs. Johan-
neson and two children, Mrs. Babbidge
and Virgil Noland were on the beach
enjoying the grand and unusually high
surf, and particularly one swell, which
attracted their attention, when they
were suddenly confronted with a wall
of water which nearly engulfed them.
The swell came higher and higher, and
finally caught Mr.. and Mrs. Newman
and Mr.. Young before they could escape.
and rolled them over and over, and al
most took them out to sea. Mrs. johann
neson narrowly escaped by getting
through the fence at the bathhouscs,
but was thoroughly soaked. Her two
children had run on before, frightened
by the appearance of the sea, but were
caught in the grove at the Webb cot
tage, 1000 yards from the beach. They
clamored on to knoll and avoided
rough treatment, though they received
ducking. The other grown people got
off with scarce and soaking. The
water reached the Allen cottage-on the
shell road and the Estes cottage on the
county road. All the high part of the
beach is covered with driftwood. which
knocked down the fence at the bath
