Provide sufficient conveniences (after the plan of the Swiss mountain hotels) and decent means of communication, advertise the fact, and he will come. When we retired for rest that Friday night the gale was still blowing with but slightly abated force, and I well remember the extraordinary inky blackness of the sky in the south-east, which seemed to portend further gales; but lo ! during the night, with a suddenness which scarcely seemed natural, the storm abated, and when we got up the following morning we saw a cloudless sky and brilliant sun, and the s.s.
