Sea Encroachment.
(By Telegraph) (Per Press Association.) Di'xbdix, This day. There was a high tide on Sunday morning. At 2 o'clock the sea broke in through a gap about thirty feet wide immediately east of the Central battery, flooding the low-lying sections in the immediate neighbourhood to the extent, perhaps of half the bulk of the last inroad. Tho Public Works Department is erecting a plank barricade across tho gap. The work is finished except this gap of thirty feet. The sea also cut a very large slice out of the sand hills at the St. Clair end, eating into the properties on the esplanade.
