We had a flesh and a favourable breeze, which blew us quickly to our destination.

One of the rocks on the coast has a very loud echo.
An island about a mile long divides the lake into equal parts; and when we had passed it, the landscape became quite peculiar.

The mountains seemed to push before each other, and try whose foot should extend farthest into the sea.

This forms numerous lovely bays; but few of them are adapted for landing, as the dangerous rocks seem to project every where.
The little dots of field and meadow which seem to hang against the rock, and the modest cottages of the peasants, which are built on the points of the most dangerous precipices, and over which rocks and stones tower as mountains, present a very curious appearance.

The most fearful rocks hang over the huts, and threaten to crush them by falling, which would inevitably carry cottage and field with them into the sea.
