FAIRY PALACE. 103

The little village of Glenowen spread
along the base of a mountain. barren
and rocky, but neither so high or steep
as many in Caernarvonshire, where the
summit of one forms the baseof another,
and thus piled, mountain above moun-
tain, presents a scene of almost alpine
magnificence to the eye of the travel-
ler. ‘Their way lay amongst eminen-
ces; but they were, for the most part,
easy of ascent; and they had walked
near two miles, without once complain-
ing of fatigue, when their guide pro-
posed to stop, and take a little re-
freshment from their store: observing,
that they had only to wind round
the foot of another mountain, and
having reached the valley beneath,
should soon be within reach of the |
place of their destination. Charles
