Then we wheeled sand and gravel upon
it, and by the end of the second day had completed the structure upon
which we looked with no little pride. The eastward, or outer, end was solid
rock and all inside that was solid dirt, brush and leaves. We thought it
would last as long as the adjacent beach itself. On the third day we con-
tinued to improve it by corduroying the surface, and by night of that day it
was, in our eyes, a thing of beauty to behold. Our chagrin may be imagined
when, on rising the next morning, we found that a gentle sea had come in
during the night and wafted our dock to parts unknown.
