Derwentwater. I take lessons from Mr. J. P. Pettitt. Ulleswater. My horse Turf. Greenock, a discovery. My unsettled cousin. Glasgow. Loch Lomond. Inverary. Loch Awe. Inishail. Innistrynich. Oban. A sailing excursion. Mull and Ulva. Solitary reading. The question of a profession now required an immediate decision.

We derived pleasure from everything, study or contemplation, fair weather or foul; a twilight ramble on the island by the magnificent northern lights, or a quiet sail on the solitary lake perfumed with the fragrance of the honeysuckle or of the blue hyacinths growing so profusely on Inishail and the Black Isles.

Out in the loch the waves were high, and the crazy craft rolled and pitched like a beer-barrel, the water in her washing from side to side. However, I reached the island called 'Inishail. It was a striking scene. Around me were the tombs of many generations.

I began by planting my hut on the island called Inishail, in the middle of Loch Awe, with the intention of painting Ben Cruachan from nature, but soon discovered that there were fifty Cruachans a day, each effacing its predecessor, so my picture got on badly.
