When Mr.
"No, sir," said Bob Chowne; "it was round on the other side of this heap." He pointed to a mass of rock lying right in the centre of the embayment, a heap which cut off our view on one side. "I suppose you must be right, Chowne," said my father; "come along." "I feel sure it was here, father," I said; "just out here." "No it wasn't," cried Bob pettishly.
The result is, with the inward retreat of the steep it enters on conditions which diminish the effectiveness of the wave stroke. The embayment also is apt to hold detritus, and so forms in time a beach at the foot of the cliff, over which the waves rarely are able to mount with such energy as will enable them to strike the wall in an effective manner.

It is a larger embayment than that where the gig came to grief, though not much wider at the mouth; and there is little resemblance between the two landing-places, since at the present one the boat is not the only craft.
A broad belt of Tertiary sea- laid limestones, sandstones, and shales surrounds the Gulf of Mexico and extends northward up the Mississippi embayment to the mouth of the Ohio River; hence the Gulf was then larger than at present, and its waters reached in a broad bay far up the Mississippi valley.
