England and the Sea.

Yorkshire alone has a record of >i» fewer than twelve drowned towns and villages. There was Kavenspur, for Instance, which was constituted a free borough by Edward I. at a cost of £3OO and became a seaport of almost national Importance. There it was that Edward Baliol embarked with a force of 2,C00 strong in order to win the crown of Scotland. The town, bigger and more Important than Hall, had five churches, a capacious harbor and a number of buildings befitting its rank and Importance. Where are they now?—London Pall Mall Gazette.
