On the 26th we walked down to Ross mines96 in order to borrow Capt. White's boat to bring us to O'Sullivan's cascade. The men were drawing up the ore which is embedded in the limestone rock. Some of it is grey but the greatest quantity has the appearance of pyrites some of which contains a very large proportion of copper but not so much as the grey ore.
[p. 58] We first landed at Innisfallen a most beautiful island covered with Ash & Eugh [i.e. yew] & with Holly and Alder of uncommon size and beauty. We landed at a little quay. Tomies was once bare but Mr. Herbert has now enriched it with plantations to which every year adds consequence. On the other hand, Glenaa was once covered with fine oaks where now there is nothing but brushwood. O'Sullivan's cascade is a beautiful spot but contained very little water.
