THE EIVEKS BUSH AND BANN. 



From Ballysliannon the angler proceeds to 

 the Enniskillen and Derry railway, where he 

 takes his seat for Coleraine ; on arriving at this 

 town he need not expect much fishing, except 

 that he may take a throw at the head of the 

 leap, and take also a view of that stupendous 

 fall of fresh water which there can be little 

 doubt of its surprising him, with the grand 

 and delightful scenes around. When he gets 

 on the suspension bridge, over the very top of 

 the leap, he must hold by the rails to steady 

 himself, and consider where he really is ; the 

 noise which the great body of water in the 

 centre fall makes, when it descends into the 

 pool beneath, dins his very ears, this with the 

 broad rapid running river close beneath his 

 feet as he stands on the light iron bridge, 

 holding by a single rail with his hand, must 

 almost take his sight away ; and if he never 

 had the pleasure of seeing the shadow of fear 

 before, rely upon it he feels himself in a fear- 

 ful plight just then "for a short time any how."
