96 GrAN'r’s CAUSEWAY.
who forthwith fired upon the inoffensive columns, and re.
gistered in their fronts their foolish error. ’ The Spaniards
might probably have been led to mistake . the chim-l
ney tops for a castle, from the very bold situation in
which they might have observed the castles pf ;Ken-
baan, Dunseverick, and Dunluce: other - traditions say,
that the Spaniards thought they recognized the chimney
tops of a village in these detachedgcolumns, and directing
their course thither, their unweildy vessels were cast away
upon the cliff beneath. A little to-the east alsodof this
place is a small bay, called Port-na-Spagna, to perpetuate
the occurrence of this event. The bay between the Cause-
way, and this is called Port-Noffer, in which stands another
insulated basaltic mass, called the Lionlltock. ‘In this port
or bay are three of these extraordinary whyndykes, the
most remarkable of which is called the .’Rovinvalleyi
Dyke; when viewed from the sea, it exhibits the appear-
ance of a wall running through the front of the cliff, and
is only interrupted in one place, and there but for a few
yards.
In Port-na-Spagna is another dyke, not so readily de-V -
tected, which emerges in the rubble at the foot of the
facade. I
If the tourist has taken boat at Port-na-Baw, he can sail
along the coast underrleaskin to B engore, and back again ,-
which will be found the most dicsirableemode of visiting
the scenery in this spot; for if heysholuld proceed along
. the summit of the cliffvto Pleaskin, he overlooksthe in-
teresting part of theplview, the front of the cliff; nor is it
.very practicable to proceed along the shore by the foot of
the precipice. However, a.walk of two mileswill accoms
plish ‘the excursion to Bengore froni-the Bock Hea(l,.,and
little more than one that to Pleaskixn The little gbays
