"The third and principal way is that from Pettigo. All the pilgrims, who come by train or car, proceed to the lake by this route. Nor will it be out of place here to state that 'Lough Derg return tickets,' available for re turn within fourteen days, and at a reduced rate of fare, are furnished to pilgrims at the principal stations of the different lines and branches of the Great Northern Railway. On the arrival of each train at Pettigo there are cars in waiting to convey the pilgrims to the lake. Those who prefer remaining over night in Pettigo will find there good hotel and inn accommodation, and will meet with, on all sides, kindness and attention from the inhabitants. The same may be said of the accommodation, courtesy, and civility to be experienced both in Donegal and Castlederg."
