it necessary for many cottagers to
reinforce the beach fronts with
gabion walls and protective dev-
ices against the pounding waves.
Another. in a series of set-backs
for cottage residents was exper-
ienced at the Point just after mid-
night last Friday whertsome type
of tidal wave sounding like
thunder to some of the residents
who heard it, rolled in with water
washing to an extremely high
level.
The lake abated just as quickly,
and it was morning before most,of.
the residents of that area' realized
what had happened. The high ,
water had washed well up onto the
lawn at the lighthouse. To the
south of the lighthouse, it took
out'two good size birch trees on
the lawn on the former' "Reid
cottage," and washed right under
the front porch of the newly con-
structed Murdie cottage. At the
Point Clark Marina , one boat was
washed up on the rocks, a sail
boat tipped and another sail boat
and two other small boats damag-
ed by shifting docks in the water.
A new protective gabion wall is
in the process of construction at
the Marina which has been dam:-,_
aged heavily 'on several occasions
in recent months.
While the story is rumour, and
we are unable to confirm it, it is
understood that 'a protective wall
will be built in the future at a
cost of many thousand& of dollars
to shield the lighthouse property,
now a Canadian historic site,
