NORFOLK BROADS.
(To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.") SIR,—In reply to " Senex," the nearest point to the sea that can be reached in a boat is by way of the Hundred Stream off Horsey Mere, which will land one within a few hundred yards of the sand dunes. The New Cut, up which I went this year, is in good order, and passes within about three-quarters of a mile of the sea at Waxliam. The rumble of the waves on the beach can be plainly heard during the passage. But I would warn "Senex " that neither the upper reaches of our rivers nor the smaller by-waterways are navigable in a boat drawing as much as 3 ft. 6 in., and a small sailing boat is much more suitable than a motor-launch. If "Senex" cares to communicate with me, I will reply to his other queries.—I am, Sir, &c., lierringflect, Great Yarmouth. BD. LEE BARBER.
