Kilkieran Quay. Both F.* and self were utterly done up 

 with the fatigue of the long day and the early rising." 



How intently his mind was now bent on securing 

 success is shown by the opening of next day's journal : 



(Firid&y t August 6th"). Our plan is to take inside Kilkieran Bay to- 

 day. Then, Birmore and Corrig-na-mackan on Saturday ; if sufficiently 

 fine, possibly to Eagle Rock. The Skiard Rocks on Tuesday. This 

 to be the end, as there is too much weed-cutting at Carig-a-Laughaun 

 rocks (which is otherwise a tip-top locality). If I am well and strong 

 enough, and weather permits, I hope this plan will get a seal (Hali- 

 chserus). It is now quite calm, and all my plans may fail ; but courage 

 and care may yet do it. Nil desperandum. 



(A) With Kilkieran we may take Casheen and Coonawilleen coming 

 out at Kiggaul Bay ; or try Greatman's Bay. 



(B) Corrig-na-mackan Rocks are best done from Kilkieran. 



(C) The Skiard and Duagoodle from Roundstone in hooker. 

 Four days wanted will, with a rest on Sunday, bring us to Tuesday, 



supposing weather fine. Then to Aran. 

 Sic, man proposes. 



* Mr. W. Frazer, F.R. C.S.I., had joined him at Roundstone.
