The white chalk cliffs of Dover. renowned in
poetry and history. said to be slipping slowly
into the sea that for many thousands OF years
has dashed at their base. A portion of the cliffs
fell some time ago. and recently a further portion
at St. Margaret's Bay, Dover, has given indca-
tions that it is also slipping seaward. Cracks in
the land have opened. and some portions of the
cliffs have already fallen into the sea, where they
form at low water a long causeway seaward. 1t
has been suggested that the blasting operations
at the Admiralty Harbor Dover. may have Ioosened
tte outer portions of the cliffs.
