FRESHES

FRESHES, (souberme, Fr.) imply the impetuosity of an ebb-tide, increased by heavy rains and flowing out into the sea, which it often discolours to a considerable distance from the Shore; inasmuch as the line, which divides the two colours, may be perceived distinctly for a great length along the coast.
