That old Hereford Inlet is still clos
ing is proven by the fact that bathers
can walk at low tide from the extreme
point at Anglesea acros what used to
be the channel to Champagne Island,
without getting wet above their knees
at any place unless they step in holes.
The easterly weather OF last week fol-
lowed by the s~outheasterly winds heap
ed q tremendous amount Of sand up In
the old inlet, and it is safe to say that
II this sand becomes exposed this fall
and there are no heavy northerly storms
this winter then mex year old Here
ford Inlet will be no more and Cham
payne Island will be firmly Joined to
old Anglesea. The writer ten days ago
walked across this inlet at low tide and
at no time was he over knee deep ex-
cept where there were pockets or holes
which might have been two OF three
feet in depth. With the shutting of
of the old inlet it has forced the Angle.
s a fleet to use what is called the mid
die ground" while to the north of
middle ground quite q large island has
formed which is separated from the
lower point of Seven Mile Beach by
another water way which is not deep
enough to float vessels over 2 foot draft.
Nature is undoubtedly making great
changes in and around Hereford Inlet.
While it will be a distinct advantage
to have Champagne Island firmly Join
ed to Anglesea, at the same time it is
liable TO put the Anglesea wharf and
Government light house and life saving
in a sort Of shoal pocket which
in time would prove to be a dead end
where the water Of Hereford Inlet
ce ased to flow. 1t. now becomes a
matter of interest rs to the status Of
the old deeds to the properties which
long ago were claimed by Hereford
and which for many years have
lain under water. Will the old deed
holders reclaim their deeds or do they
lose their property in Ease the ocean
recedes so IS to make their former
holdings rise above tide water again.
