Fingal's Cave.

Fiugal’s cave is one of the most remarkable natural grottoes in Europe. It is situated on the Island of Staffa, about seven miles off the coast of Mull, Scotland. The cavern is 227 feet deep, 42 feet wide at the entrance and 02 feet high at tho opening at tlmo of low tide. This has a great deal to do with the sizo and dimensions of Flngal’s cave, because it is eminently a sea grotto. The ocean’s waters aro always tho floor of the cavern. At time of very lowest fide there is twenty feet of water in the cave. It can be rfeadily entered by means of small boats at all times except at the hour of extremo high tide. In Europe Flngal’s cave is considered the greatest British wonder. In a game of ball gmong deaf mutes the profanity of Angers is perfectly awful to observe.
