It is now only a rabbet warren, and hardly any vestige left where an ancient chapel stood, called the chapel of the Grune; the whole is a low beachy coast. The Dutch would make a gainful acquisition by diking of this bay, was it in Holland, for the tide recedes so far as one may pass it in any place for several hours together." |
