 in Irish. 



Sept. 15. We gave a treat to the school children at Moyrus ; 

 and walked on the beautiful beach of granitic sand. 



Sept. 17. A gale of wind. Mr. Conerney took us back in his 

 ■" Croydon " to Roundstone, by the road round the head of Birturby 

 Bay, as the boat could not go. 



Sept. 19. The only really wet day which we have had in 

 Ireland. We could not get out at all. 



Sept. 20. Went in the morning to the lake called Creg-dufF, to 

 hunt for JSfaias, but the water was so high, that I could not find it. 

 I found Eriocaulon abundantly. At Roundstone we found at the 

 hotel a young girl named Biddy Lavelle, who had been at the 

 Mission School, but taken away by the priests. She had learned 

 much there, and we took much interest in her. She has a sister, a
