The visit to lEiagg ^^S^Tatet may be made at the same time 

 if the tourist is not afraid of extending his walk so far. 

 He must diverge to the left, to ^]^art30p, which he will 

 notice just before coming to Brothers' Water. The track 

 passes among the farms, and follows the beck between the 

 mountains until its source is reached, — this source being 

 itself the secluded tarn called Hays Water. This little lake 

 is a mile and a-half from the main-road, and the ascent is 

 rather steep. It is the delight of the angler because the 

 delight of the trout. It is overhung by High Street ; so that 

 perhaps the Roman eagles, as well as the native birds of the 

 rocks, have cast their shadows upon its surface. Not far 

 off lies Angle Tarn, on the southern end of Place Fell. 

 Both these tarns send their brooks down to swell the stream 

 from Brothers' Water, which is itself supplied from the busy, 

 noisy beck that descends the Kirkstone Pass ; and the whole, 

 joined by a tributary from Deepdale, form together the clear 

 brown stream which winds through Patterdale and empties 

 itself into Ullswater. Brothers' Water derives its name from 

 the accident — which is said to have happened twice — of 

 brothers being lost in it, in the attempt of one to save the 

 other. ,0n one of the two occasions, the accident hap- 

 pened through the breaking of the ice, when the brothers 

 were making a venturesome short cut across it to church. 



No persuasion of ours is necessary to induce the traveller 

 to visit JDeepitJale, if he has time. Its aspect from the road 

 is most tempting.
