The crushing blow I o{ 'A® fcarge weakened the structure so to make it an easy mark for the sea. If there had been nothing else the pier would have probably withstood j the storm. Victor Denizot, who owns has sought legal advice as to the re- ' sponsibihty of the Breakwater ConI structiqn Company, aud may seek J redress^ n the.courts. It is feared that there Will not be time enough to re- 1 build the.structure for the coming sea- i but contractors will be consulted 1 and tb« work done if possible.
