Text Any textual data included in the document "It is almost incredible what crowds visit this island annually, during the months of June, July, and August—it being no unusual thing to see from 900 to 1000 persons of both sexes upon it at one and the same time—an extraordinary circumstance, when it is considered that the island does not measure more than three hundred paces in any direction. They are ferried across in a boat, which can carry seventy or eighty persons at once, for which they are charged 6½d ; each and yet so inadequate is this conveyance to the purpose, that the shores of the lake are frequently covered with persons waiting their turn — the greater number of whom have arrived from very distant places, many from England, some from France, and others all the way from America. It has been justly observed by an intelligent writer, that a painter who wished to make a drawing of the river Styx, the ferryman and his boat, with the groupes [sic] of expectant shades on the banks, could not find a better bodying forth of that imaginary scene than is presented by Lough Dergh."
