The late high tides have caused great destruction here. The Pebbleridge has been driven back about 70ft, and a large proportion of the boulders scattered over the burrows. In front of the Club house, where the poles have been lately placed, a large mass of stones had collected forming it was thought a most effective barrier against the inroads of the sea. These were washed out carried across the roadway and dashed against the Club house, causing considerable alarm to the inmates, who with all possible speed left the building for a more secure retreat.

Mr Ellis has sufferred severely. The grass between his house and the ridge is nearly covered with huge stones, and the hedge is washed away. The furniture and other articles on the ground floors of main house were much damaged by the water. Altogether it presents such a scene of desolation and destruction as has been seldom seen at Westward Ho! It is feared that unless previously removed the Club house will be swept away.
