THE CHESAPEAKE ISLANDS
STEADY WASTING AWAY OF
MANY INTERESTING LAND
MARKS IN MARYLAND WATERS.


MANY INTERESTING LAND
MARKS IN MARYLAND WATERS.
Cnshe,d, Md, August 1.-The islands
Of the Chesapeake are rapidly wasting
AWAY, and II is only a question OF time
when they viii disappear altogether
The action OF the waves and tidEs is
uncC1sing, and nothing thus far de
vised by the inhabitanes Of these
islands has been able to r,sis, their
rayages.
On Watts Island the land has been
washed away nearly up TO the house
occupied by Harry D5remus. Mr. Do1g-
mus has built "A brealIwater for pro5ec-
tion, but the waves dash over that and
undermine THE land.
On Fox Islanh the water hns en-
croached even up to the house occu-
pid by Mr. Elinger, has washed away
THE porch, and unless moved the house
will be soon floating in Tangler sound.
AT West Pcint am arm of Tangier
sound ntAr thls island, it is a common
occurrence for fishermen 10 set their
hooks caught In tree stumps, which
cover The bottom There in grsat num-
beTs 200 yards from shore.
On Tangier Island the guns and
ramparls Of the British, who fortified
thls lower part OF the island in 1872
are several feet under water.
Sykes Island and Smiths Island
are a,s1 sinking Hollands Island Is
going so rapidly that it is a wonder
how amy young man has the hhrdihooS
to build upon it. And still several
nice houe-s have been hui1t there dnr
ing the PAST year. During the Wlnte
THE wind has a clean sweep from th'
Patuxent, distance Of about foriC
miles. and the gkat waves from Tn
bay strike the island with terrific force
The ealruh cracks three or four yard

Iumb,es down and then IFS wauhe

n
AWAY nearly up to Bennet's store.

plenty OF oysters and wild fowl are
