COBER (The), a stream of Cornwall. It rises near Carnmenellis; and runs 10 miles southward, past Wendron and Helston, to the sea. It is so obstructed at the mouth by a pebbly bar as to form there a lake of about 7 miles in circuit, which often rises in a wet season, 10 feet above its ordinary level; and the bar being then cut by manual labour to let off the surplus water . from swampmg the mills above, the river makes a rush to the sea in a manner wildly picturesque. The obstruction bears the name of Loe Bar; and forms again in a few days.
