60 RED DEER. 



Something is now moving among the 

 heather near the summit, so distant and 

 so dim that it is difficult to distinguish 

 what it is. But the sheep yonder are 

 white and these three animals are dark, 

 a little inclined to redness. They move 

 quickly in line, and are larger than sheep ; 

 they must be hinds. It is only when en- 

 deavouring to determine what any particular 

 object is that you recognise the breadth and 

 height of the Beacon side. It is much further 

 and much higher than the eye at first ac- 

 knowledges. A level yet elevated spot called 

 Sweetre, or Sweet Tree, at the foot of Dun- 

 kery, where there is some sward and furze, 

 is much frequented by deer. For years 

 they haunted it ; they still do so, but not 

 so much now, for they change from place 

 to place according to their wild caprice.
