I BARMOUTH AFTER 25 YEARS. When one has been visiting Bannon tb for over a. quarter of a century it might oe imagined by some that there could not possib- ly be anything fresh to such an old acquaintance, but Barmouth is always fresh, always interest- ing and always very beautiful. Let us take for example the moods and phases of the Estuary. It is morning, the sun is well above Cader, the last traces of the night dews are wreathing and curling in the hollows on the mountain sides or metling into nothing round their summits. The tide is flowing, the channels are widening, the sand. banks are growing smaller and by and by boats full of happy life follow one another with the tide and thread their way along the shining and broadening waters between the banks. Patient and persevering amateur fishermen persue their ofb ill required occupation, from the Bridge, or Aberamftra and though the slaughter of fish may not always be quite certain, the health and appetite obtained al- ways are. And now from the Do 1 gel ley Road the sounds of motor horns and rattling -wheels tell us that .one part of the daily exodus to one and another of the many places of beauty and in- terest which abound along the Estuary, is in full and eager pro- gress. The day, like the tide, rushes along with onward flow. But like the tide also it reaches its height and passes its maridean, the hours of the after- noon glow with fervent heat, the sheep have sought the shade, the cattle, the wet sand and horses stand in some green canopied corner lazily switching off their buzzing and active tormentors. The gulls and marsh birds, filled with what the tide has left them, settle in safety on the sandbanks, draw their heads well into their feathers to shut out all the dis- tractions of the outer world, and go to sleep. The last waters of the tide drain slowly seawards, the air is drowsy with the hUlll of invisible wings nnd the hills along the shores grow dim with a soft blue haze and one is fair to find the shade of cool green leaves and participate in the blissful delight of the Estuary's bouril of dreaming. And now the hours of dreams have vanished, the sun is getting well over the Llyn promontary and already blue shadows are forming round the base of the hills on the northern shores of the Estuary. A cool breeze from the sea comes with delicious refreshing, to man and beast, and bird and tree and flower. The tide gives notice of return, and bird life along the margin of its waters awakens and the hoarse cry of the gull,the plaintive whistle of the curlew and the piping cry of the oyster catcher tell us that birds have something else to do besides sleep in the sun. Soon the shadows fall across the streams and sands from shore to shore. The mountain tops glow golden, then crimson, then purple and then are mantled with the rote of shadows which wraps them more and more closely till a dim and indistinct outline is all that remains So the grandeur of the whole scene never fades, but rather increases as the years go on.
