CORRACH-BAH ; OR, A PLEA FOR THE WASTES. 243 



I took the road at five next morning, to be in time for the 

 Inverary steamboat, which left at seven; but even at that 

 early hour, poor Sandy, with his fragment of a hat in his hand, 

 was waiting at the " brae-fit " to wish me a " gude journey." 

 Having shaken him heartily by the hand, I turned my back, 

 for a time, upon these cherished scenes of beauty, grandeur, 

 and romance.
