The ManacIes Rocks,

The Manaces rocks, situated about
and the Lizard point, are considered
the most dangerous point on the Eng
llsh coast These rocks cover a con-
siderable space and extend seward
about three miles from the coast. At
low water their bold and sharp spurs,
jutting out of the sea, are to be seen
stretching right across the natural d.
rection of a ship to take in making for
Falmouth. Thoroughly to appreciate
the danger for vessels here one has
only to take up position on bold
headland overlooking this wide eXpanse
Of sea, when these rocks can be seen at
low water covering an immense tract
of ground, over which vessels are con-
tinually passing up and down at high
water. Every winter and sometimes
in the summer months fearful wrecks
take place on these rocks, attended
with considerable loss of life. These
disasters take place at night, when it
is probable that the men in charge Of
a ship are uncertain of their position.
There is a large bell placed between
two and three miles out at sea to warn
vessels of danger, but during a stormy
and windy night it must surely be most
difficult to catch the sound of this bell,
particularly so if the wind carries the
sound away from the ship passing
these rocks.-London Standard.
