English Stones so long as the tide is high; but as half-tido 

 is approached, the waters, having no longer an outlet that 

 way, rush along the head of the English Stones down to the 

 Shoots." Now I have very little doubt tliat along the lino 

 of the English Lake and English Lake Channel (see map), 

 a new channel for the ebbing tide is even now in progress 

 of formation, and that in the near (geological) futni'e, 

 all the ebbing tide will be carried off by an English Channel, 

 while all the incoming tide will, as now, pass through 

 the Shoots.
