Chesapeake Islands Rapidly Disappearing By Associated Press Washington. D. C., July 2.—That certain islands and headlands in Chesa peake bay are being destroyed at a startling rate, not by any catastrophic force of nature but by the ordinary action of waves and currents, is shown in a report to-day by the Geological Survey, the most interesting feature of which is the destruction of the three islands at the mouth of the Choptank river. Of these Sharps Island, which a generation ago was a summer resort and a favorite hunting ground, besides supporting a number of families throughout the year, is to-day de serted and almost barren of life. Its 438 acres of 1848 has dwindled to 53 in 1910, its north shore having suf fered the phenomenal loss of 110 feet a year during the period from 1900 to 1910. The other two islands—James Island and Tilghmun Island—also are rapidly disappearing. The former decreased in size from 976 acres in 1 848 to 490 acres in 1910, while the latter was reduced from 2.015 acres'in 1848 to 1,086 acre In 1900.
