438 NOTES AND QTTEBIES. 



and when the sea rages with a ground sea from the westward 

 with an easterly wind, the sand comes in and covers the rocks 

 which then brings in any dollars that have been loosened by the 

 force of the sea acting on the boulders, and so knocking them all 

 manner of ways, and driving them between the crevices of the 

 rocks. I well remember having had five dollars put into my 

 hand by a hawker at one time. These were taken as payment 

 for goods by him near to the wreck. 



The next party that tried was from Liskeard, who built a 

 breakwater outside all, intending to clear out the pit where the 

 ship broke up. They had 1 8 weeks easterly wind at the time, and 

 the breakwater was nearly completed, but a ground sea destroyed 

 all their labour, and it was all a failure. I passed over the cove 

 at Glunwallo next day, and everything was washed away from 

 the place and came ashore, baulks of timber, iron cramped, 

 and spars ; the cove was nearly filled with the materials from the 

 breakwater. The loss to the adventurers was said to be £1,000 

 for their search. Since then many dollars have been picked up. 

 A further attempt was made by employing a steam engine on 

 the spot, and trying to pump up the dollars, but this also failed.

 Frescoes in Linhinhorne Church. 



The Western Morning News of August 8th, 1890, contains 

 the following interesting account of the frescoes discovered 

 during the recent restoration. 



The restoration of this church, which has been undertaken 

 by the vicar, the Rev. W. H. Poland and a committee of 

 parishioners, is making satisfactory progress under the direction 

 of Messrs. Hine and Odgers, the architects, and it is hoped the 

 work will be completed in October. A few months ago the 

 interior of the building presented a most desolate and unpromis- 

 ing appearance, with walls, roofs, pillars, and arches covered 

 with whitewash, and scarcely a fragment of carved work or 

 colour to relieve the dreary waste. Since then all the white 

 lime has been removed and the masonry cleaned, repaired, and 

 pointed. Here, as in so many churches of Cornwall and Devon,
