Standing across the bay, we came off a very picturesque spot, called Shanklin Chine, a deep cut or opening in the cliffs with trees on both sides.  Dunnose was passed, and the village of Bonchurch and Ventnor, climbing up the cliffs from its sandy beach.  We now sailed along what is considered the most beautiful part of the Isle of Wight,--the Undercliff.  This is a belt of broken, nearly level ground, more or less narrow, beyond which the cliffs rise to a considerable height, with valleys intervening; the downs in some places appearing above them. This belt, called the Undercliff, is covered with trees and numerous villas.
