flTRUCELESS WAR
\
TheN Unending Struggle Between
the Sea and the Shore.
VICTORIES ON BOTH SIDES.
Sometime* the Ocean Lathee Ita Way
Through Rooky Cliffs, and 8ome
times the Wind and Land Combine
to Beat the Billows Back to Defeat.
It la a truceless war that the waters
of the world are waging against Its
lands. John Oliver LaGorec. associate
editor of the National Geographic so
ciety, has prepared for that Institu
tion a study of this striking struggle
between the earth and the sea with the
shores lines of the world as the fur
flung theater of war.
After calling attention to the fact
that the processes which have trans
formed the polar regions from dense
| Jungles of tropical growth Into lands
of perpetual Ice and snow, which have
brought the tops of mountains to the
bottom of the sea and the bottom of
the sea to the topB of mountains, are
still going on, although the hands
upon the face of the clock of geology
move so slowly thut we caunot perceive
their movement, Mr. LaGorce con
tinues:
Along every coast une on me race i
of tie earth there is perpetual warfare
between the bind and the sea, with the
wind as the shifting line, now throw
ing its weight into the balance on the
one side and now on the other. Here
the land is taking the offensive, driving
the sea back foot by foot, always with
the aid of the wind: there the sea mar
shals a great drive and eats its way
landward slowly and laboriously, but
Qone the less successfully.
"The varying fortunes of this relent
less and age long war which neither
truce nor treaty will ever bring to an
end can be read in the shifting sands
af the seashore. At mauy points along
the coast of the northeastern states are
found bold cliffs, and the charging sea
attacks them with the shot and shell
of loose shingle. Some of them, how
sver. are adamant and Impregnable in
their frontal fortifications and hold out
against the sorest siege, but between
them have occurred stretches of softer
rock which have been literally pound
ed to dust by the ocean's heavy artil
lery, thus permitting tlank attacks on
the hitherto unconquered defenses.
"Along the southeastern coast how
ever, the rock bound cliff Is the excep
tion and the long stretches of glittering
sand the rule. Ilere the sandy beach
reaches out farther and farther Into
the sea. and the water is thus enabled
to penetrate farther and farther into
the land because the attack of the sea
Is usually a frontal movement and thai
of the land frequently a wedge attack
Thus we can account for the long
straight shore on the one hand and the
split on the other.
"The formation of the beach Immedi
ately guarded by the Cape Henry light
is not changing so rapidly as Is the
case only a few miles on either side be
cause of its somewhat protected posl
tion. due to the many sand bars or reefs
far out from shore which, acting as the
first trenches, serve to break the charge
of the white horses of Father Neptune
as they dash In from the ocean, and.
because of this knowledge of defense,
it Is plain to be seen that a go-*! quur
ter of a mile of beach has been added
by the defender since the old light was
erected.
"Roekaway beach. Long Island,
grows westward at the rate of nearly
a mile every twenty years. At Nag
Head, N. C., the land has extended
Into the sea at the rate of thirty-five
feet a year. In 1S04 Dr. Nathaniel
Bowditch prepared a chart of Salem
and Marblehead harbors, giving the
soundings over vnrious ledges of rock
Ninety years later similar soundings
were taken, and In all cases the water
was found to be considerably deeper,
once again telling the tale of endless
warrlngs.
"On the shore of Cape Cod. near
Chatham, the land Is retreating at the
rate.of a foot a year, and on the south
ern shore of Marthas Vineyard it is
giving up the fight to the enemy at the
rate of three feet every twelve months,
while on the southern face of Nan
tucket the retreat has been as much as
six feet a year, the records tell us.
"In Its incessant warfare agaiust the
land the sea literally takes its cap
tured hosts and makes them do battle
under its command. The bowlders that
are shattered from the face of a cliff
are dashed up against it again and
again, hammering others loose, the
while being worn round and smooth
as the projectile of big guns must be.
As the process goes on these huge
shells are worn down and crumbled un
til there remains nothing to tell the
story of forced fighting against their
own stronghold save grains of sand on
some distant beach or the soft carpet
spread upon the floor of the sea many
fathoms deep.
"How rapidly this process goes on is
sometimes strikingly shown. A schoon
er laden with bricks is beached on
some bare shore in a storm. These
bricks are rolled and tumbled a dis
tance of five miles or so in the course
of a year, and by that time attrition
has usually completed Its work. Au
thoritles say that on the shores of
Cape Ann a fragment of stone as big
as a nail keg has been worn complete
ly round by its constant turning during
the course of but live years."
