The Mitchella, the little partridge-berry, is here in bloom, and has been since the year came in. The marsh that borders the beach-hammock and spreads a sea of silvery green before the mansion is not barren of attractions.
A mile below Beach Avenue is a high sandhill shelving abruptly toward the beach, half-buried trees projecting from its western slope: it is now known as "Eagle Cliff," so called by the proprietor of Dungeness from the fact of my shooting an eagle there one day in November. In the beach-hammock are the same wind-hollowed hills, rooted into permanence by twisted oaks and magnolias.
Three hundred feet in width, hard as stone, shell-strewn, between wind-hollowed sand-dunes and foaming surf, this beach of Cumberland stretches for twenty miles. This and the prickly pear suggest the climate of the tropics. I find them on the sandhills bordering the ocean-beach, the wind-swept dunes between the "beach-hammock" and the hard sand of the wave-washed beach.
