 After a quick run to Belfast, the party separated, the mem- 

 bers expressing their delight at the amount of enjoyment 

 combined with instruction each had experienced.

 the district is ramified, till they reached the high ground 

 overlooking the North Channel. Here they descended from 

 the cars, and proceeded on foot to the shore. In former years
