Sailing Tours. By Frank Cowper. Part IV. (Upcott GilL) —This
admirable series is to the yachtsman what Bradshaw is to the railway traveller. The present volume tells the yachting tourist all that he wants to know,—lights, rocks, tides, roadsteads, harbours, and objects of interest between Land's End and the Mull of Galloway, including the east coast of Ireland from Belfast Lough to Wicklow. There are some thirty charts. There are many interesting tours on this coast, and many ruined castles and legends to interest the yachtsman when beating northwards. The scenery is delightful but it is a difficult coast, and the lighterman will enjoy the necessity for keeping his eyes open as much for the sailing as the scenery, and such pleasant surprises as finding himself in a haven with torpedo.practice going on. Armed with this guide the most anxious of sailors may feel at home.
