SEA ENCROACHMENT.
(By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.") DCTNEDIN, Monday. The ocean continues to torment the St. Clair eeafront. Twice a day there is a fall, smaller or greater, from the edge of what was once a road. The outer face ! of the big sand hill is in dissolution. The end of the Forbury Road, which is from the Metropole corner, really the base of a lost sand hill, is now threatened, and the remainder of the road from the esplanade to the rise abreast of the easternmost groyne is rapidly narrowing its width, to-day being only 16 feet at I the private 'bathing boxes, and 12 feet at , the rcelhouse, while the upper road is i evidently considered dajigerous, for it I has bceii Mocked with a fence, and some I attempts -were made yesterday to stop j ftoys and inquisitive adults from leaping | I the harrier. ,
