storms have been raging, though here we have 

 had nothing but calm. Later on we wander, 

 as usual, along the beach northward. A misty 

 and yellow evening light falls on the low hills at 

 North Sannox. Its influence lowers and sub- 

 dues them, and their tone is, as usual, not without 

 a touch of melancholy. The lofty peaks at South 

 Sannox, on the contrary, stand, ' commercing 

 with the skies,' in a clear light, which seems to 

 give them elevation, not in altitude only, but in 

 feeling. So true is it, 'To that which hath 

 shall be given ; and from that which hath not, 

 shall be taken away even that which it hath.'
