paper retired to rest, some to beds, others to mattresses on the

All were roused at 6 a.m., and, after breakfasting in the open 
air, started about 7.30 for their destinations. About 12 went 
to dredge with Professor Allman, the rest went to Goatfell. 
The day was good at first and promised well, but ere we 
reached the summit of the mountain (which is 2875 feet high) 
mist and rain came on. We found it impossible to go along the 
ridge to Glen Sannox, and we therefore descended to the shore 
at Brodick, and walked towards Corrie.
