' WHERE THE MOUNTAINS © OF MOURNE ROLL 'DOWN. TO THE SEA By Hazel Smallman The boat-train for Ireland leaves Edinburgh at 9 o'clock, a.m, It was, therefore, with the most sincere intentions of catching that train that we set out for the station and our long-anticipated holiday. We hurried through the masses of people that always seem to be coming and going from the railway stations-in this country and up to the little gateway number 4. - Our tickets in our hands we confidently announced to the dispatcher, "The train to Stranraer." With that somber tone and immobile expression of which only-a Scot would he capable, he told us,--*It had just gone," We looked at him, and at each other with the expression peculiar to people who miss trains--*"this just can't happen to us." The train dispatcher does not try to convince one. Suflicient for him that it is just 9.0'clock and the train has just gone. After standing for a moment, and watching the last car dis- appear in the darkness of the little tunnel from which white smoke began to pour we decided it had happened to-us. Calm phijlo- sophical control descended upon one of us, while the other rushed hither and yon, still believing that something must and could be done. - There was a helpful, well informed Scottish ticket man who suggested a train to Glasgow in 8 minutes, from another station, which might, if we were lucky, catch up with the train we should have been on, After a few minutes of hasty impatient search we were able to secure one of those old and not too fast British faxis, and were off to the other station, caught the train, and started on our rush across Scotland. We reached Glasgow in due time--- continued out dash from one station to another line, and one down the west coast. It was one of those rare bright days in Scotland and we travelled through extremely picturesque country--through moorland purple with heather, from which mang grouse fluttered up, disturbed by the rush of the train. We arrived at Stranracr at 3 o'clock, and the steamer for Ireland had not left. Our rush was not in vain and our holiday in Ireland was not to be shortened. Now from Stranraer to Larne is thé shortest sea passage to Ireland. We left the last headlands of Scotland to make our way into the Irish Channel and soon saw the cost of Ireland off in the distance. It was with great interest and anticipation that we ap- proached this famous Emerald Isle about which so much has been written, music, song and prose. A little over two hours sail and our boat came slowly along-side the dock at Larne--a name which immediately suggests linen. Our first typically Irish scene was a of the origin or use of these towers. According to some authorities they belong to the pre-Christian era and were used far some form of worship.« Their actual story, I am afraid, is lost in Ireland's dim and distant past. - : ' From Larne one speeds along by the shore of Belfast Lough in a very comfortable Ivish train. - It was warm in Ireland, the sun was shining brilliantly making silver birds of numerous airplanes which were flying over-head, some of them coming and going on sea were green, very green, and the sea a bright hlue. hoats were in the Lough; big ocean going steamers were at anchor, and many little sail boats with their white sails were hurrying, pleasure bent, in and out of the harbour. - We have come to learn that in Ingland there are_lakeg in Scotland Lochs, and in Ireland Loughs. = Belfast is situated at the head of scenic Belfast Lough. It is. an'interesting city with its excellent public buildings and parks. To the curious and unin- itiated tourist, down-town Belfast has a most interesting feature. At the busy crossing there is installed on the light standards a Pedestrian Push button, with the Inscription "Push once." This I understand is designed to regulate the street lights so that the pedestrian may cross as and when he wishes, This novel little de- vice, however, if improperly used hy the inexperienced pedestrian pressing twice, stops the traflictin all directions. The only pro- cedure open to such pedestrian then, is to proceed across the street with as little embarassment as possible and feel what degree of joy he may in his momentary mastery over the motorist. One of the fine and interesting institutions of Belfast is_its Queen's University. "It is of lovely old Gothic architecture, being so constructed to form a square with a quiet, grassy, tree-clad old quadrangle in the ¢entre which invites one to sit and reflect. We were shown over the building, and particularly. the Department of Zoology in which we were most interested. The head of this Department we learned is Prof. Flynn who was away on holiday in California visiting his son Errol of pictuve fante. - . Ireland -has its Interesting cities and its Urban httractions, but the real charm of Ireland, as of all places, is in its rural dis- tricts, . So it was that we left Belfast in the early stillness of a Sun- day morning to discover Ireland for ourselves. . We had planned the route we would take--along the, coast road of County Down to the village of Kilkeel, "Where the Mountaing of Mourne Roll down to the Sea." With the City of Belfast and its suburbs left behind we were making our way through farm lands which rose and fell, making little, well-rounded hills, then valleys. Looking up the green slopes now on one side of the road, now on the other, the small irregular patches of farm land were well marked out by low hedges. . At frequent intervals a field of dark-green luscious growth--It ia potatoes--Ipish potatoes in quantity! Suddenly our attention is arrested by the quaint little donkey coming along the road pulling a very small cart with the village milk supply in a shining container. Not so eflicient or hygienic as our modern system, but-oh! so picturesque! Every village has its whitewashed cottages with their thatched rooves and pipk and red rambler roses around the door. They are as much a paft of the scene in Ireland as the fat grey geese and white ducks which waddle about not far off--and the simply huge old pig with hei large family. Such charming pastrol scenes as this meet the eye of the traveller as he wends his way along the highway, southward. But always, we feel, greater charm is to be discovered off the a little Inn where we might stay, partook of a real Irish dinner--- boiled ham and potatoes (complete with sking), and started on our tour of discovery. We thought how pleasant it would be to get bicycles. Soon this thought became an enthusiastic resolve and we set out to fulfill it, We approached manyerpeople, all of whom referred us to the village cycle shop which they further in- formed us was closed. Of this discouraging fact we wete our- selves already well aware! = These people*we found to be very heditant about telling anything, and it was only after a fairly long conversation we could get even the slightest suggestion from them. We were finally successful in securing one cycle which eneouraged us greatly--buf still we were faced with the problem---one bicycle being of little use to two fully grown individuals! A young man we approached told us, "Sure and indeed, you would get a car more ' i f . v \ 4 x Sie the regular Glasgow-Belfast air service. ~The hills rising from the i Numerous |" beaten track.

Despite this latest discouraging encounter we continued our search and soon our persistence was rewarded---another bicycle was se- cured and we were off, Bet oo It was the Mountain of Mourne and Silent Valley we wanted most to see, wud after a short distance along the main highway we came fo a rustic sign post indicating "Silent Valley," - We turned ofl to a narrow gravel road and started our approach to the Mountain of Mourne. I believe these Mountains are quite the loveliest I have seen. a-soft blue colour with clouds shifting and clinging about their peaks. They are truly beautitul---- nol with that spectacular beauty of our Canadian Rockies, but with a soft mellow loveliness which even mountains acquire through, the ages. We cycled on past little white farm houses which nestléd against the hillside--- many of them with beautitul fushehia hedges, a blaze of colour, which, to those of us who are accustomed to seeing a fuschia plant carefully nurtured in a pot, is a scene to be remembered. As. we climbed higher and approached: nearer tiie actual, rise of the mountains themselves inhabitants became less 'and less, until only a few sheep grazed between the rocks. Thi was Silent Valley, anebindecd, iC was silent. We could hear nothing but the crunch of our bicycle tires ii the yravid, and now and then we stopped to look-around us at the beautiful panorama of mountain and valley, and to listen to the stillness, Well up in the mountains is a picturesque aml inviting little lake which we were approaching. Soon we eanfe to a gate across the roadway, and this we learned was a reservoir, and we could not go beyond. We talked with an elderly Irsh gentleman n charge who diveeted us back to the village from which we had come by a different way. After some time spent absorbing the-beanties of our surroundings from- this, our highest point, we stinted down--more rapidly than we had ascend- ed! We hurried along down little winlling lanes, back to Kilkeel. I'rom here we started oft again to follow the old coast road which runs along the very edge of the cliff looking out to the Irish Channel.
