            <text>"Proceeding from Kesh through an agreeably diversified and highly romantic country, and passing, at three miles, Clonelly, the residence of F. W. Barton, Esq., on our right, we soon reach the small town of Pettigoe situated on the Tarmon river, which, like the Kesh stream, conveys the contents of the numerous rills issuing from the dreary moorland hills on the north to Lough Erne. The town is within a mile of that part of Lough Erne which encircles Boa island, the largest and most important of Lough Erne's numerous isles. The island, which comes within a quarter of a mile of the shore, is fertile, and might be, under a different management, beautifully verdant. It contains, as we have observed in our general description of the lake in the preceding road, 1300 statute acres. Though destitute of timber, and greatly disfigured by bad fences, it is, from its extent, shape, and the vast tract of water which surrounds it, a fine feature, particularly as seen from the wooded shores skirting the beautifully-situated glebe of Templecarn, or of Waterfoot, the seat of Colonel Barton, to whom the island belongs. On the glebe lands are the ruins of a castle said to have been the residence of the first bishop of Clogher. Pettigoe is romantically situated, and, as regards its localities, well circumstanced for the tourist who wishes to know Lower Lough Erne, Lough Derg, and the wild, desolate country lying north ward. The little town is improving ; and under encouragement, on the part of the proprietor, we hope soon to see a comfortable inn and good post-horses. At present, however, cars can be hired at the more respectable public houses, where travellers occasionally stop. It contains a church, Roman Catholic chapel, and Methodist meeting-house."</text>
