Douglas Head

When I had been on Douglas Head one day, I had seen some mountains at a distance, and this day I set out with the intention of ascending the highest, if it were not too far. By paying strict attention to a map I had purchased, I have very little occasion to ask any questions respecting roads, distances, or places.'
