of this type of protection -- he said that the beach had been eaten into
10 feet on the night of October let by the tides at this point.

could not afford to pay any money into any plan to protect Lovell Station
as she did not have it she eadd that the convicts were sent to Tybee
to work on Lovell statics and they should be kept there.

beach but that brush was never put in between them as they should have

to make the beach look very unsightly.

doing work at Lovell station but for work of the whole island where they
were needed -- he said that the property owners at Lovells should get
together and see if the Virginia Beach jetty would not work at their poin
