The climate of Southwold is unusually mild. Bones of the mastodon occur in the cliffs.
Southwold Bay, better known as S6M)ay (there is a strong propensity to this shortening among the £.
Anglians; thus Covehytheness, N.
of Southwold, becomes <*Coathe- ness*'), was, in 1672, the scene of the great fight between the allied English and French fleets under the Duke of York, Lord Sandwich, and Comte d'Estrees, and the Dutch fleet under the famous De Buyter.
The Dutch surprised the English at anchor, so that many of the ships were obliged to cut their cables, run out to sea, and make ready for action. The battle was terrible, and the brunt was chiefly borne by the English and Dutch, the French soon sheering off, according to orders from Louis XIV. to risk as little as pos- sible, and leave the En^Ush and Dutch to destroy each other. The Dutch Vice- Admiral, Van Ghent, was killed, De Buyter wounded, and Lord Sandwich, after maintaining an unequal contest against a superior force, was blown up with his ship.
