THE ECHO. Ilfracombe itself is not very interesting, but there are some interesting places near by. A few miles off the coast is Lundy, a barren island, useful only because of its granite auarries, and here one morning in a dense fog, stich as we have on San Francisco Bay, tler Majesty’s ship “Montagu” stuck on the rocks and was never gotten off, although she was werth $7,250,0c0. The drive or walk to Watersmouth is a favorite amongst the residents and visitors, for there are some very interesting caves there. Boats are generally in attendance to take visitors through the caves, and this is considered the best way to visit them. From Ilfracombe we went to Bideford, the home of Charles Kingsley. One of the most noticeable things in Bideford is the “Long Bridge.” It consists of twenty-four arches, pointed at the top, and is six hun- dred and seventy-seven feet long. It was ult by the merchants, each merchant yuilding an arch, consequently the arches vary in size, according to the wealth of the builder. This naturally gives the bridge a remarkable appearance. It was first begun in 1340. A great many mussels have grown 1 on the arches and the city government does 1ot allow them to be removed, because they protect the masonry, which would be eaten away by the tide which is exceedingly strong there. The merchants of Bideforx were the first in England who traded wit =) America. The little town has some very handsome buildings. At the Royal Hote is the room in which Kingsley wrote part of “Westward Ho!” and near Bideford is a little place called Westward Ho, to whic! we went, and saw the remarkable Pebble Ridge, which stretches for some distance along the coast. These pebbles are banked up many feet high and form the only bar- rier which keeps the sea from flowing into the low lands of Westward Ho. The peb- bles vary from the size of a marble to those which weigh three, four and five hundred pounds. ‘They are all rounded and smooth- ed by the waves, and each has a streak of white in it, which is a harder substance than the rest of it. The sea is continually casting up more of these rocks, and thus the bar- rier becomes ever higher and higher. Near our hotel in Bideford was an old church which has a lovely peal of bells—the first we had ever heard. In the grave-yard of this church are some very old graves, some of which bear some very curious in scriptions. One of which we saw was: “Here lies the body of Mary Sexton, Who pleased many men, but never vexed one; Not like the woman under the next stone!” One morning we took a coach from Bide- ford and drove for some miles through love- ly country lanes and woods to one of the most picturesque spots in England—Clovel- lv. This beautiful fishing village, which the writings of Charles Kingsley did so much to popularize, is one that cannot fail to im- press the stranger with its unique beauty. It consists of one steep street, leading from the small fishing harbor to the summit of the hill. It is formed by a series of steps or divisions that can only be ascended on foot, or by means of little donkeys, which we saw, carrying goods to and from the har- bor. The population is mostly dependent on the sea for a livelihood; that is to say, »v the herring fishing in the winter, and by landing and embarking passengers from the numerous excursion steamers in the sum- ner. The houses are quaint, old-fashioned ones, many of them covered with ivy, creeping vines and roses. With its many ovely views of the water and harbor, it is a favorite spot for artists and tourists, Americans especially. With Clovelly our delightful trip was finished. We were to have gone on to King + O Arthur’s Castle, at Yintagel, but rain com- ing on prevented us, as we were coaching; so , not relishing a wetting we returned to busy London once more, with many pleas- ant memories in our minds and beautiful pictures lingering in our eyes of England’s sweetly-picturesque country—North Devon.
