Yes, and whilst the injunction remains, ‘unless you do penance, you will all likewise perish,’ Lough Derg, and these other holy shrines, shut out from the busy world, will always be made the resort of the pilgrim. Connected with the pilgrimage of Raymond, the Count de Perilleaux, to Lough Derg, there is a terrible tragedy recorded, where we find him murdered at the very altar in his cell whilst per forming his devotions :
By flood and field, by wood and fell,
In desert wild, or hermit's cell,
In camp or court, in hall or bower,
At day's broad noon, or midnight hour,
On mountain top, or flow'ry lea,
Or where in prayer he bends the knee ;
Aye, even before the holy shrine,
I'll claim him there, his blood is mine
The tradition goes on to say : — " It was a beautiful evening in the autumn of 1397, and the flood of rich yellow light from the setting, sun bathed the wooded shores of Lough Derg, tipping with gold the waves on its surface. At this time the naked hills which now surround the lake were covered with majestic woods of oak and beech, and fringed with a thick copse of brushwood to the water's edge.
"The little island on which was situated St. Patrick's Purgatory, lay about a mile from the shore, resembling some dark spot in the midst of flowing silver .
"The ferryman was reposing on a grassy knoll at the verge of the lake, waiting to ferry over the pilgrims as they made their appearance. While he thus lay, with his breadth (cap or bonnet) thrown over his eyes, to keep off the rays of the sun, a pilgrim, toiled and travel-stained, arrived at the bank, and stood beside the unconscious ferryman. He was a fine tall young fellow, clad in the usual garb of a religious wanderer of the period. His face was thin and pale, but full of life and animation. He was clad in the humble garments of a palmer, yet his mien and motion were those of one used to associate with the proud and noble. After a little the pilgrim pointed with his staff towards the island, as if indicating a wish to be ferryed over. On which the ferryman directed his attention to the setting sun, as an intimation that the hour had passed, and then pointed to the cottage at the end of the wood, plainly intimating to the pilgrim that he should be content with a share of the shelter and hospitality of his humble roof till morning.
"The stranger bowed in thankfulness, laying the forefinger of his right hand impressively on his lips, and raising the other towards the blue vault of heaven. He then crossed both with an expressive gesture on his breast, and hung down his head in silence.
" ' Ay, ay!' uttered the boatman in an undertone ; ' a vow to hold his peace, some terrible crime to be atoned for by the severity of the penance ; and in one so young, too.' And with a glance upwards of astonishment and thankfulness to heaven, he led the way to his cabin. The evening sun had gone down behind the western hills, and the gloom of coming night was darkening the deep brown woods. The song of the robin and the thrush was hushed, and the pilgrim was seated beside the cheerful hearth of the ferryman, silent and motionless, and wrapt up in the shadowy stillness of profound meditation.
" On a sudden, however, the ferryman was startled on hearing the notes of a bugle-horn, which came pealing from the woods. He started to his feet, for such sounds were seldom heard on the peaceful shores of the Lake of Penance; and on going out he observed a train of horsemen issuing from the woods.
" The person who rode in front, and who appeared to be the chief, was mounted on a beautiful charger of the true Arabian breed. He was dressed in black. A mantle of velvet, lined with silk, depended from his shoulders, under which he wore a doublet of fine cloth, braided with twisted cords of silk, and fitting closely to the body. He also wore a broad-brimmed hat, from which drooped a solitary black feather, shadowing features proud, stern, and repulsive in their expression. The rest of the attendants were clad in much the same fashion, except a few, who were fully equipped and armed. They appeared as if after a long journey. They were evidently men from a foreign land, for they used much gesture, and spoke in a strange tongue. Tents were immediately pitched on the shores of the lake, and fires lighted, and a hurry and bustle continued among the strangers till a late hour, and a strict guard was placed on the pavilion of him who appeared to be their chief.
" Shortly after the noble chieftain embarked for the island, and without an attendant; on reaching which he hurried for the cell at which Raymond de Perilleaux was making his devotions. He advanced with a rapid and quick movement, till he came within a few feet of the holy shrine, at which he found him. He then called out in a loud exclamation : —
“We have met here alone, and face to face at last, Raymond, Count of Perilleaux! can you pray to Heaven? you with the blood of innocence crying to that Heaven for vengeance against you. Can you ask for pardon, or hope for mercy, whose heart was closed against the pleading of the virtuous and the innocent? can you hope for peace, while my vow of revenge is unpaid? and the dagger yet unstained with thy blood? Raymond of Perilleaux, know you not that while I lived, my life was devoted to your destruction, now, say your last prayer," drawing his blood stained dagger —
"'Mercy! mercy! Ugolino’ uttered Raymond in a trembling and distressed voice. It was all soon over, he raised up the dagger, and buried it to the very hilt in the heart of the wretched count.
"The murdered victim never groaned, his lips were seen to move in prayer, he staggered forward a few paces, and fell heavily against the steps of the little altar where he expired."

"There is no grandeur in the surrounding scenery ; everywhere is the same wilderness of heather, the same dreary moorland hills — no variety in their outline, no steep cliff or bold escarpment to vary the scene, not even a single patch of green to relieve the eye, except in one comer where there is a small, paralysed plantation of stunted Scotch firs. Not a living thing was to be seen — neither man nor beast nor game on the mountains, nor bird on the lake. I was, however, told afterwards that hares and moor-fowl do contrive to live there, and a certain kind of small, mountain sheep with long horns and black faces, a leg of whose mutton a hungry man might easily dispose of at a single meal. So much for fauna. There was no flora except moss and heather. In fact, nature here clothes herself in sackcloth and ashes ; the very aspect of the place induces solemn thought, and makes it meetest shrine for penance. It seemed to me, too, that the bare, whitewashed houses on the 'Station Island' were utterly out of tone with nature's wild surroundings. Seeing no person to apply to, and unwilling to return with my task unaccomplished, I resolved to try and reach the island myself in a boat which I found on the shore. I had nearly succeeded, when the freshening breeze compelled me to desist, and I was very glad to find rest and shelter under the lea of a kind of insular promontory, connected with the shore by a narrow ford, where, fortunately, I was discovered by the owners of the boat, who rowed me up to the island in the teeth of a very stiff wind."

"With the fall of night the world slipped away. We seemed to stand in a dim place where two worlds meet. At intervals we walked into the misty starlight and stamped a little warmth into our feet. The noiseless going in and out of the watchers was too eerie for words. Truly we seemed to be doing Purgatory for ourselves and our dead. All night our voices rose and fell and the waves bear unseen at our feet. At dawn a white spectral mist hung over the waters and in a kind of dream we went over to St Mary's Chapel for Mass. Then cam the first touch of colour to remind us we were still in the world of sense and not of shadow, for such of our company as were priests drew pale gold vestments over their shoulders and said Mass in a haze of red candlelight."

"A sunset on Lough Derg, under favourable circumstances, is, also, a spectacle of extraordinary grandeur. Such a sight have I witnessed from Station Island on 2nd July, 1879, between 8 and 9 o'clock, as the sun was going down behind Croagh Breac. Its reflection in the lake looked like a massive pillar of gold, having its apex in Upper Lough Derg, and reaching down through the channel between Saints' Island and the mainland more than midway to Station Island. One might well imagine it to be the golden portal to some bright realm. The sight was one my companion had never before witnessed during his twenty-five years' connection with the place."

"The Lough, which is said to be about nine miles in circumference, is situated in the midst of high hills, which rise on all sides without the slightest appearance of cultivation and are covered with heath from the base to the summit. In its whole circuit there are only four houses to be seen, which being sitated on the side of the barren mountains, and at a great distance from one amother, instead of enlivening the scene rather tend to make it appear more melancholy."

"Pettigo. (July 23, 1824). A country road leads in this direction a mile: after leaving which we passed over the mountains following a path, which the number of devotees who visit the Island, had marked too distinctly to be mistaken. After walking for what appeared to us a very ling time over the heath-covered mountains exposed to a burning sun, without a breeze of air to refresh us tough on so high a situation, we at length got a sight of Lough Derg and its islands: and soon afterwards arrived at the lonely house of the boatman, who ferries the votaries over to their devotional exercises. A situation more solitary and bleak can scarcely be conceived than that which has been chosen for this great religious station."

"Ballyshannon. (July 25, 1824.) Soon after leaving Pettigo going towards Lough Derg, the limestone ceases and the mineral productions change entirely. On the mountains masses of a kind of fine-grained granite present themselves, which in some places have a very beautiful appearance in consequence of the quantity of mica which they contain. In many places these masses of granite afford a convenient resting place for the pilgrims, who pass over these mountains to Lough Derg, and they have in consequence been work perfectly smooth. When the rays of the sun strike on these in a particular direction they seem like rocks of solid silver. This appearance was at one time so beautiful as almost to realise for a moment the visions of Eastern fable, but the moment we change our situation the delusion was lost and nothing remained but the naked rock and the barren mountain."

"Count Raymond, tortured in conscience for his crime, proceeded on pilgrimage to Lough Derg, in order to appease the wrath of heaven. The story graphically proceeds : — 'It was a beautiful evening in the autumn of 1397, and the flood of rich yellow light from the setting sun bathed the wooded shores of Lough Derg, tipping with gold the waves on its surface. At this time the naked hills, which now surround the lake, were covered with majestic woods of oak and beech,* and fringed with a thick copse of brushwood to the water's edge.
'The little island on which was situated St. Patrick's Purgatory, lay about a mile from the shore, resembling some dark spot in the midst of flowing silver.
* In a visit which the writer paid to Lough Derg, on the 4th September, 1877, he observed, on a portion of the mountain in the possession of a family named Gallagher, the stems and wide-spreading roots of two enormous fir trees, from above which the peaty surface had been cut. This is evidence that at a remote period, when our climate was much more temperate, large trees grew among these mountains, which are now so bare and barren."
