KILLARNEY. 99 



wood : Turk ftill the back ground, in a cha- 

 racler of great fublimity, and Mangerton's 

 loftier fummit, but lefs interefting outline, a. 

 part of the fcenery. Thefe views, with others 

 of lefs moment, are connected by a fucceffion, 

 of lawns breaking among the wood, pleafing 

 the eye with lively verdure, and relieving it 

 from the fatigue of the ftupendous mountain 

 fcenes. 



September 28th, took boat on the lake, from 

 the promontory of Dindog before mentioned. 

 I had been under a million of apprehenlions 

 that I fhould fee no more of Kiliarney ; for it 

 blew a furious ftorm all night, and in the 

 morning the bofom of the lake heaved with 

 agitation, exhibiting few marks but thofe of 

 anger. After breakfaft, it cleared up, the 

 clouds difperfed by degrees^ the waves fubfided, 

 the fun (hone out in all its fplendor ; every 

 fcene was gay, and no ideas but pleafure pof- 

 fefled the bread. With thefe emotions Tallied 

 forth, nor did they difappoint us. 



Rowed under the rocky fhore of Dindog, 

 which is romantic to a great degree. The bafe, 

 by the beating of the waves, is worn into ca- 

 verns, fo that the heads of the rocks project 

 considerably beyond the bafe, and hang over in 

 a manner which makes every part of it inter^ 

 efting. Following the coaft, open marble 

 quarry bay, the (ho re great fragments of rock 

 tumbled about; in the wild eft manner.
