STORM SAID TO HAVE CAST UP
MANY BEAUTIFULLY-MARKED
ONES, AND ARE BEING col

Following the strong winds and
high seas of the past several days,
people who have come from the island
beach report that large numbers of
fine, beautifully-marked sea shells
have been cast up and left on the
beach, and have been deposited in
large quantities.
1t is nothing unusual, after heavy
weather, to find large supplies Of sea
shells thus cast up, and they are gath
cred up eagerly each season. 1t is
possible that crowds which will make
a trip to the island today will find
lots of shells, and may return to tn,
