Farther down the bay a point of the mainland reached the bay, where there was a group of houses, called Mount Pleasant; and at the extremity of the bay, distant six miles, was Sullivan's Island, presenting a smooth sand-beach to the sea, with the line of sand-hills or dunes thrown up by the waves and winds, and the usual backing of marsh and crooked salt-water channels.
As the facts here alluded to are not very familiar even to professional naturalists, I may be permitted to describe them more in detail. No one who has often walked across a sand-beach in summer can have failed to remark what the children call "sand saucers."
This gave us so great courage that we rowed heartily towards it, and at three in the morning, to our unspeakable happiness, we dragged our boats upon a beautiful sand-beach. So exhausted were we that with small loss of time we made ourselves comfortable and soon were sound asleep upon firm ground. The next sun had done more than half its work before any of us were awake.

All the sea is perfectly clear from any mixture of sand or mud.

"Come, Daisy, suppose we go down on the sand-beach to-morrow, and we will play out the Saxon Heptarchy there as we played out the Crimea. Shall we?" Daisy's face changed. "O thank you, Capt. Drummond! that will be nice! Shall we?" "If you will, I will," said the Captain. Mr. Randolph moved away.
