Bruce-The Isle of Butte, Etc.
ARRAN MORE, COUNTY DONEGAL, IRELAND,
July Is, 1889.
Editor Citizen -Hurrah for us We
have at last discovered the great charm
OF an ocean voyage, to-wit: the delight
OF seeing dry land once more.
At $50 a. M. by ships time (11 p. m.
by yours we leave our downy couch and
On reaching deck our weary eyes arc
greeted with the prominent headlands OF
the north coast of Ireland, mountains
that remind us forcibly of those dear ones
at home, the cliffs bold and distinct in the
carly morning light, and hcadlands
sharply cut against the horizon. The
mountains, we repeat, remind us of our
own of BunCombc, but we have not the
lovely sea, the foreground of the picture
upon which at this moment our eyes are
teasting.
| Everyone is i'll good humor. Sickness
and discomfort are forgotten Even the
poor StccraEc passengers are CnthuScd
AS we wander amongst them one saws
"Bchold sir, the Gem Of the Globe. You
see before you the birthplace of the Eu-
ropcan races, You behold now three
corners OF the world, nd the whole uni
verse is needed to make up the fourth"
"PShaw,' say VIC. "Why, We can WRAP
your whole dominion in one corner Of
America, so closely that you could never
he found"
But we are all happy, and each rejoice
i'll our own dear home
We arc now, at 7.3O a. m, sailing past
the coast of Londonderry, the home of
our excellent grandfather. Signs Of life
seem increasing on all sides, and we have
Just met and passed Il steamer bound
probably for far-away New York. We
do not envy them the monOtOnous vOy-
age which is before them. We are at this
moment passing Tory Island very near
| by on our StarbOard bow-a rough
rocky hcadland with prominent light
house. In front Just comes to view lines
trahull, the point to which we have been
reckoning for many days-thc Sandy
Hook of North Ireland.
Our last porridgc ON the gallant steamer
! Nevada has been swallowed, and really
enjoyed, hut SO many persons have risen
to see land that our share is Curtaicd
and it seems as awful crime in us to
ask for more as in poor little Oliver
Twist. Perhaps this is a violation OF
some Scottish statute if SO, we will be a
frequent offender.
At last we see bonny Scotland Two
hcmsphcrcal rocks stand up out of the
water on our left at considerable distance
and we are told they arc the Pass of
Dura. On uur right the Lock Fowl in
dents deeply the Irish coast, In front is
Rothln's Island. and nlT nr,. sto,.LmorI
