Calculating upon a considerable halt at Bunglass Point, Mr. 

 Musgrave very considerately provided a well-filled hamper of 

 refreshments, which were produced and disposed of with gratifying- 

 acknowledgments on the green terrace we will ever remember as 

 " Musgrave' s table." The conductor's whistle again sounded the 

 advance, and we commenced the ascent of Slieve League, over 

 bog and heath, rocks, ferns, and mosses. The party, now reduced 

 to eight or ten, pushed their way upwards, glad of every opportunity 

 of calling a halt for breath, while professing the discovery of some 

 variety of heath, new ferns, or mosses. Here the matted tufts of the 

 wild juniper were gathered, and the red berries of the bear -berry, 

 and amid the shady nooks of the hillside rocks the moss-like filmy 

 fern was most luxurious up to the very limit of the " One man's 

 path." This dangerous path is one of the attractions of Slieve 

 League. It is a narrow path of about 20 inches wide over a rocky 

 peak at the very edge of the cliff; the surface is a rounded weather 

 beaten rock, with a very steep incline. At one side, next the sea, 

 there is an almost perpendicular precipice of 1,800 feet; and at 

 the other side a cliff some 800 feet high which meets with the 

 mountain side below. This pass or path leads to the higher cliffs 

 above. It is dangerous at any time, but most so when the wind 

 blows strong. We approached it when the wind blew half a gale, 

 so that pebbles from the cliff face were blown past like hail; 

 nevertheless, two of our party fearlessly went over the path, but 

 neither their cheers nor the whistle call of the conductor could 

 induce another to follow. A circuitous path again united the 

 party, who, after visiting the old church of St. Hugh MacBreacan, 

 on the top of the mountain, made a rapid descent on Carrick 

 Lodge, passing Maxwell's old tuck mill, and arriving in time for 

 dinner at eight o'clock. Having been hospitably entertained in 

 the true spirit of genuine friendship by our most worthy host, we 

 reluctantly took our departure for a six miles' drive over the 

 mountain to Mallinmore, where we arrived at 11-45 P« m -> anc * 

 were soon comfortably made up for the night in the friendly 

 hostelry of Miss Walker. Next morning we were up fresh as 

 ever, and, after an early breakfast, started off amid storm and
