THE ST CLAIR BEACH.
INROAD-BY THE SEA. rPuß' Press Association.] , DUNEDIN, July 4. There was a high tide on Sunday morning about two o’clock, and the sea broke in through a gap about thirty feet wide, immediately east of the central battery, Hooding the low-lying sections in the immediate neighbourhood to the extent, perhaps, of h'alf the bulk of the last inroad. The Public Works Department was erecting a plank barricade across the gap, and the work had been finished excepting some thirty feet. The- sea also cut a very large slice out of the sandhills at the St Clair end, eating into properties on the 'esplanade. ’
