Storms Responsible For _ Formation Of Coast Line Captain M. P. Hite Writes Interesting Article on Subject in April Number of American Journal of Science Which Will be Quoted in Book by Authoritative Author Typical Atlantic coast storms are responsible for the formation of the coast line which resembles a "coast within a coast." according to an ar ticle by Captain M. P. Hlte of Eliza beth City, which was published In the April number of The American Journal of Science. Captain Hlte is an inspector of the United States Coast Guard and has made many ob servations of the coast line which enable him to write In an authorita tive manner on the causes and ef fects of its phenomena. Since the article appeared, D. W. Johnson, author of one of the ac cepted authoritative works on inlets, has reversed his opinion as to their cause and it is understood that In the forthcoming edition of a book on the subject he will quote Captain Hlte extensively. The article by Captain Hlte on "Some Observations of Storm Effects on Ocean Inlets" Is interesting not only as coming from the pen of a Bestcltian but also because It cast* much light on a subject that effects the lives of thousands of persons along the margins of the Albemarle Sound and Its tributaries who an either directly or indirectly depend ent In part upon the fishing and boating industries. "The ocean Inlet appears to be the most freakish of streams," says Cap tain Hlte. "These Inlets are the wat erways which connect the ocean with the great series of lagoons which ex lend almost unbroken from New England to Mexico. Though compar atively few people realise It, our At lantic coast Is a coast within a coast. A narrow sand spit, often less than a mile wide, forms the outer coast and separates ocean and lagoon, while at Irregular Intervals In the sand beach appear those freakIsn rivers, the ocean Inlets. They Includa Fire Island, Rockaway, Darnegat, and Absecon, as well as a host of less well known Inlets. "In most contradictory terms an In let may be described as a river with no head and two mouths In whlcn the current runs now fast, now slow, now In, now out, while as tide chang es the current runs both ways at the same time and with certain wind* there may be four^well defined and opposed currents running at the same time. Inlets burst Into full be ; Ing during a single storm and dis appear as suddenly; though as much as a hundred years or more may elapse between birth and death. Dur ing Its life an Inlet may wander nr ft 'migrate' for considerable distances and it may be 'reborn' one or more times." The exact sequence of events lead ing to the birth of ocean inlets has bepn a matter of speculation for cen turies and different schools cf thought on the subject have devel oped, but a logical sequence appears to have been developed by Captain | Hite in his article and is shown on ? a novel type of graph. It appears that a nice fitting of' storm forces is necessary. The moon must be full, the wind must blow from a certain quarter for a time and then at a certain time shift and blow, from a new quarter and all this pre cise fitting must be accompanied with unusual violence if the inlet is to appear. As the author describes it the inlet's birth travail is a stren-j uous one. To quote: "The graph shows in logical se quence the nice fitting of forccs that brought Sinepuxent Inlet into b<'lu^; but no graph, writing or picture made by man can convey any realis tic impression of what the writer will awavs think of as a climax of Intensity, long maintained. Theie will always remain in the writer'* mind the throbbing, screaming roar' of that wind, the wild smother of storm-tossed waters churned into a: foamy waste that stretched clear I across the beach and Joined ocean1 and lagoon Into one water. There was no beach, no surf, no lagoon, all was seething ocean beating back, un broken, on its old shore the main land. "All that day and far into the. night like a solid body, like a verit-J able force cataract. that win-l screamed, throbbed and roared. There was no stirring abroad for dry shod and standing on a concrete walk a man might scarce maintain upright position. The beach was afloat, literally, the sand alive, water running everywhere gushing In tor rents. eddies and whorls, tore into the sand, bored and gouted until the very water was a thin gritty paste. Only the tops of the highest hills; showed as little islands where an oc-i casional remnant of a flock of Bheep| or a band of cattle, dazedly pawed; an Insecure footing from which they floundered and drowned. "Night drew on and seemingly without pause or halt in violence the wind slowly backed to north-north east. to north and yet more slowly to! north by west. Here the rain ceas.? 1 and a triflling lowering of the wat ers showed. Still screaming n wild ' protest the wind slowly continued j backing until it reached northwest [ where it hung and blew and blew for \ days with diminishing intensity. "With the flrst appreciable change in direction of the wind, like the tilt-1 ing of a pan, a great portion of tho waters piled in the lagoon, slid otf into the sea and the beach emerged, rather a chain of islands appeared, j separated from each other by em-j bryo inlets, streams of water raclu^i across the beach to the ocean. So i numerous and effective were these embryos that In a few hours the lev el of the lagoon was appreciably low ered and one by one these little in-, lets dwindled or failed entirely as. the churning surf leveled the sand1 across their mouths. Now began a J. process of selection, a battle for the; ?survival of the Attest* to determine; what of these embryos scattered for : miles along the beach should remain 1 as permanent monuments of this elc-j mental clash. "The lagoon level was lowered but still far above normal and what is | more important far above the level of the sea now that the tidp had fallen and the wind no longer banked the sea In an abnormal flood against th beach. So, though the -lagoon waters were lowered, an ample sup ply remained to cut millions of tons of sand from the beach. "One by one the embryos dwindled and failed until by noon of February 6, only two remained and they less than half a mile apart. The south ward inlet lying farthest from the principal body of impounded water I fought a losing battle from the flrst. It worked unceasingly northward un til. like another valiant Southron, it Joined Its northern neighbor In a bond of indivisible unity which func tions normally to this day." The author points out the funda mental fact that It is the typical At lantic coast storm which is inlet forming. Any typical storm which occurs at the proper range of .tides, determined by the moon, and Is of maximum intensity is likely to cause an inlet to form. He is of the opin ion that these peculiar storms have operated to Rive form to the Atlantic coast and ventures the assertion thut if the rotational characteristic were reversed storms would not cut Inlets along the Atlantic. The re-formation of Oregon Inlet' is also described in Captain Hite'o article. As the most important inlet, to the Albemarle Sound. Oregon is more interesting than any other to, the people of this s?ction. To quote: j "At Oregon Inlet th-re was no i long draun out storm which could, bank ocean wtaers in the lagoon. The, storm was so short in duration that the unwieldy ocean was hardly af-i fected. Not so the broad shallow la goon. Here many hundred square miles of water, only a f?'w feet deep, j rapidly responded to the wind so that the lacoon shore along the ocean wasi bare far out. while the lagoon reach es farthest from the ocean suffered an inundation and waters wero stored there as in a reservoir wltli the wind acting as a dam. When the wind change came, the dam vanished and. under the power of the wind acting from the new quarter, a very wall of water, millions and millions of gallons, was hurled in a sweeping, raging flood down against the beach. "The leisurely Sunday morning breakfast of the summer sojourners at Nags Head was rudely interrupt ed by the waves dashing into kitch ens and even dem<",,wMng some of. the cottages, while a very plague of' snakes from the upp r swamps and1 marshes writhed adn slithered on' drift, wreckage and shore. '?Embryo inlets appeared like magic and two of these, just south of Oregon Inlet, stabilized, remain ing for a week or more until the longshore drift from Oregon smoth ered out their young lives in a flood of sand. "A sheet of water miles long tilted across the beach, but it. and all the embryos. w? re as nothing beside old Oregon. s?>izing this golden oppor tunity for a new lean** on life. For I hour* and hours, that torn-tit rusheil and roared through Oregon Inlet. It recked not of. nor halted for, the | turn of ocean tide but bored an 1 swept, a mighty river, far out to sea. J and In Its boiling whorls th*> sand i deltas melted like sugar, dissolved ; and ^aulshed. leaving the Inlet scoured cl^an. reborn, and on the: threshold of a whole new life. "The two storms pres?nt?d are! considered typical in action. Possible all storm action on Inets follows on?*' phase or the other or combinations! and variations of them. At SinepuN-i ent, with a small lagoon, ocean wat-j ers slowly banked there by the wind ? were suddenly released when the I wind changed. At Oregon Inlet the | lagoon is of sufficient area to genet - ate a flood under the power of th j wind without aid from the ocean. "The masses of water stored by i the wind are almost inconceivable. | The writer made an estimate that : more than two and one-half billions [ of barrels of water passed over the I beach or out the new Inlet at Cedar. Hayou. Texas. durinu the 24 hour* after the wind changed in the stoim of September. 1919. "It is interesting to u?>te the coin cidence of the full moon with the storms which form Inlets. At Scltu ate. Massachus< tts. on November 27. 1898, the storui Intensity and full moon coincided, while at Slnepuxeiit the coincidence only failed by one and one-half days."
