manded a view: but we sought for it in vain; the trees continued to grow most provokingly together; so we climbed up and up, and the higher we went, the stronger and less tired I became, and at last we reached very nearly to the summit of the mountain. Such a mountain ! and oh! what a view then burst upon us. Carlingford Bay, which lay at our feet, is in form something like the lake of Como, but on a larger scale. On the Rosstrevor side fine trees cover the mountains, and dip their wide-spreading branches into the bay. All this has to me a greater charm from the fact that these blue tranquil waters are the sea. We returned from the top of the mountain by another path, and passed near a large rock which is called Cloughmore, and which at a little distance we took for a cottage. Soon afterwards we entered the beautiful grounds belonging to Mr. Ross, and with some difficulty found our way home. We did not reach the hotel till it was quite dark, very tired, but enchanted with our expedition. Saturday Morning.-The scenery of Ross VIEW on CARLINGFORD BAY, near ROSS-TREVOR. Co: of DOWN |
