conjunction
with the steep banks with trees and ferns, makes a fine pictorial
effect. Many of the trees are a great height, having been drawn
up in seeking the light above the cliffs, which in this place are
a considerable height. The stream flows along the narrow channel
under the bridge.

CHINE HOLLOW, SHANKLIN.--This charming lane leads from Shanklin
Chine direct to the Landslip. Close to the head of the Chine and
within two minutes' walk of the Old Village it forms a beautiful
shady retreat on a summer day. The steep banks are of bright red
and yellow sandrock beds, out of which trees have grown and verdant
vegetation has found a footing until the whole is covered with
Nature's mantle of beauty. The view is taken coming from the Landslip
and looking towards the Chine, Old Village, and town.

VIEW ACROSS THE FOOT OF SHANKLIN CHINE.--From the shelter of a
pretty nook in which seats are provided, Shanklin sands and cliffs
appear in all their exquisite beauty. A wide stretch of sand from
the foot of the Chine to the fine cliffs of lower Greensand supplies
a playground for multitudes of happy children. Under the cliff
is a happy camping-ground, in which numerous tents are put up in
the season. The fisherman's cottage, with its rough stone walls
and roof of thatch, forms a pleasing subject in many a picture.
Half-way to the cliff are steps leading up to Appley Cliff into
the village, or on to the Landslip.

SHANKLIN CHINE.--A scene of sylvan loveliness beyond description.
Winding paths extending from the shore for about one hundred yards,
through one continuous bower of beauty, bring you to the head where
in the wet season there is a cascade. In the summer the banks are
one mass of ferns and foliage of varied form and colours. Quiet
nooks are to be found where, during the heat of the day, a book
can be enjoyed in the cool shade of the trees. Shanklin has the
reputation of being the cleanest town in England. It is certainly
the most beautiful in the Isle of Wight.

STONE SEAT--THE LANDSLIP.--The Landslip which lies between Shanklin
and Ventnor is a favourite resort to the inhabitants and visitors of
both places. The catastrophe that wrought this magic transformation
has resulted in producing scenery of entrancing beauty. The
