of the Ground near Folkftone. 22J? 
foot of the hill H in the view, which is upwards of 30 feet 
high. 
CD, the valley between the hilt B and the cliff. 
DE, the cragged cliff, 60 yards high. 
EF, a plain, above a mile long. 
FG, a hill of fteep afcent, Mr. Sackette fays near half a 
mile ; but this is much higher than it really is. 
GH, the land from the top of the hill to the houfe near a 
mile. 
I, Tarlingham-houfe, lying two miles and a half N.N.W. 
from the rock. 
EGH, a line of light (fee Mr. Sackette’s defcription of 
the country). 
If Mr. Sackette, in the above defcription of his (ketch 
of the country, had placed each objedt according to its real 
ikuation ; and if the effedts he has mentioned had been real 
ones, they would have been truly wonderful, and worthy the 
attention of the curious inveftigator of the hidden operations 
of nature ; but I am apprehenfive he had but very little better 
foundation for what he has faid than the vague and inconfiftent 
reports of a few ancient fifhermen. Tarlingham-houfe is by 
Mr. Sackette’s account lituated full as far beyond the hill 
FG as the width of the plain EF ; but how deep the hill has 
funk to render the houfe vifible over the top muft depend upon 
the fituation of it, viz. how much higher it was than the top 
of the hill. 
If the hill has funk only ten feet, there muft have been 
fome external evidence of it, fuch as fifth res round the bafe, 
and a very fteep afcent from the top of it, where the repara- 
tion happened between it and Tarlingham- houfe ; but there 
are no traces of any fuch finking of the hills.
