AND HOW I HAVE CAUGHT MY FISH 167 



CHAPTER XVI. 



HORN HEAD ART AND LUCK CHADDING AND SQUIDDING. 



As we were saying good-bye and tendering our 

 thanks to those who had helped to make our week 

 at Burton Port a pleasant and successful one, some 

 cards were given me which said, quite truthfully : 



"This splendid hotel is magnificently situated 

 in the centre of a district that possesses the united 

 attractions of mountain, lake and ocean. On one 

 side are moor and mountain, on another the cele- 

 brated Hundred Lakes of Dungloe, unrivalled for 

 fishing, and in front the Atlantic, with Arran- 

 more, Rutland and several other islands in the 

 near distance. Close to the pier, railway station 

 and post office. Boating and bathing, shooting, 

 and lake and sea-fishing. 



" The combined air of mountain and sea makes 

 the place excellent as a health-restoring resort. 

 Twenty hours from Euston." 



The weather being still fine, and the rivers low, 

 we decided to make Dunfanaghy our next stopping- 

 place, so as to try for pollack at Horn Head. We 

 made the journey by the new light railway to 

 Creeslough.
