| Several dead beluga whales washed ashore recently in Alaska after dozens were temporarily stranded on mud flats during low tide. |
| It was as much a new world to me then as it was to those earliest Europeans who waded ashore nearly 500 years before me. |
| Redwing ordered them to lower the anchor, and they got into the jolly boats and went ashore. |
| To Peter's astonishment a familiar figure was wading ashore, a red and white lifebelt about his waist. |
| Then the crew, minus the few who were to stand watch, piled into the jolly boats to go ashore. |
| The deaths were often blamed on the victims' lack of alertness for the large waves that occasionally washed ashore. |
