Wave Names.

| have a note of some curious names
given locally to the waves ON different
parts of our coast that may be worthy
of record These were culled from The
Family Herald a few years ago. 1 can
not give the exact date. The names are
curiouSly varied and sometimes not a
little suggestive. The Peterhead folk
call the large breakers that fall with a
crash ON the beach by the grim name of
''Norrawa Norway carpenters" On
the low Lincolnshire coast, as ON the
southwestern Atlantic fronting shore Of
these islands, the grandly long unbroken
waves are known as rollers" Among
East Anglians heavy surf, tumbling in
with an Offshore wind, or in a calm, is
called by the expressive name of a
"slog, while we'll marked swell, roll
ing i'll independently of any blowing, is
called "home. There is no wind, "
Suffolk fisherman will say, "but a
nasty home on the beach" Suffolk men
also speak of the bark of the surf,
and a sea covered with foam is spoken
of as feather white" The foam itself
is known as spoon drift" SO i'll the
vernacular we have it, THE sea was all
a feather white with spoon drift. -
