Beachcomber (writer)
Beachcomber was a nom de plume used by successive writers of the humorous By the Way column in the Daily Express. The column was founded in 1919 by John Bernard Arbuthnot, and taken over first by D. B. Wyndham-Lewis and then by J. B. Morton (easily the longest-lasting Beachcomber). On Morton's retirement in 1975 the column fell into abeyance, but it has recently been revived by William Hartston.
