BEACHCOMBER F or forty years Springer Copeland's feet were famous on wind-strewn sands where he collected the pretty things thrown up by random seas - starfish skeletons, iridescent shells, and one or two doubloons spilled from unremembered pirate fingers. But one day when a pair of sandpipers flew down the California coast in pursuit of a summer that had slipped away while they had been occupied with something else, he stood and looked at them. After that he gathered washed-up pieces of old ships and built a house on a rock from which he watched the cool sifting down of quiet evenings on the unruffled face of the Pacific.
