Moving Snnil Dunen That Bnrr VIIlaK'ei and Shoal Sounds. The prevailing winds from a little west of south have rippled the heterogeneous sunds on Ilatteras just south of the cape, on Shackelford nt its southwest extremity and ou the southwest side of Smith's island. These wind ripples, started in sands exposed by the removal of a strip of forest next the shore, have grown in size to great sand waves, which are advancing on forests, fields and homes. As the sand wave has advanced it has taken up several feet of the loose soil over which it has passed, undermining houses, laying bare the roots of trees and exposing the bones of the dead in tin1 cemeteries. Diurnal winds from the sea have piled the sands into small wandering dunes and hillocks and even sometimes into sand waves, which . are marching steadily inward and shoaling the waters of the sounds. At Nag's Head a large hotel, constituting a solid obstruction, soon bad a sand wave built up a short distance in its renr until the level of its roof was reached, when the wave moved forward and engulfed the hotel. In the immediate neighborhood two cottages suffered a similar fate. Here the land gained on the sound 3."0 feet in ten years. On the northern end of Ilatteras island a fishing village had been similarly buried, while the sand had entirely crossed the island at several places north of the cape. This movement of the sand was started just after the civil war by the cutting of trees next the shore for ship timbers, and the section is still known as the Great woods, though not a stick of timber stands upon it todaj-. .Pamlico sound for two miles from the Ilatteras shore is growing steadily shallower from flic deposit of blown sand. On Smith's island a pilots' village has been buried beneath the sand wave for a number of years, but this has been quite recently resurrected, and its houses are again occupied. On Currituck, below Caffey's Inlet life saving station, the sand has advanced entirely across the land, and one man. moving before the advancing sand, has at last built his house on piles in the sound.
