Walks Along the Shore ;
Good hikers frequently make
the trip afoot down South Beach
to Seal Rocks. j More ease-loving
Individuals, after crossing the bay,
take the Waldport stage.- At Seal
Rocks lunch Is spread on the flat
water-worn rocks in sight of the
restless tide that during winter
storms dashes the Spume and
spray of the waves high over Hay
Stack Rock, the Needles, and the
Giant's Causeway. A few miles
southward ,is the "town of Wald
port on Alsea bay.
One of the favorite walks from
Newport is the trip to Yaqulna
Head lighthouse. ' In late summer
you wilP find plenty of huckle
berries . a few hundred rods back
from the beach Agate Beach, one
of Yaqulna Bay's most beautiful
resorts, is only a few minutes'
walk from the lighthouse. The
lighthouse U; built at the extreme
edge ofa sea-worn bastaltlc cliff
that Juts out into the ocean. Vis
itors are " welcome and the view
from the lofty tower weir repays
one for the trip. ' Below the light
house you will see on the rocks a
great variety of sea life. Here
are the yellow-brown shapes of
the star fish outlined on the black
sea-washed rocks. Here, too, are
sea roses7sea urchins, barnacles,
jelly fish, and mussels with their
blue-black shiny shells, and baby
crabs scuttling around in the shal
low pools. 7 7 .
- Beyond the lighthouse you can
see Cape Foulweather. Trips are
often made by; the tireless young
folks to Schooner Point, and fur
ther np the coast to Otter Rocks.

water Is hurled high into the air.
It looks like some submarine gey

My limbs are bowed like callipers',

To have a laugh at seeing me In
