Text Appearing Before Image:
loseto Portumna is the Castle of Ballynasheera,said to have been once the residence of Ireton,Oliver Cromwells son-in-law. From Ben Hill, a few miles below Por-tumna, near Woodford, is a splendid view ofLough Derg and the surrounding country.The lake here stretches along between theSlieve Aughty Mountains on the Connaughtside and the Arra Mountains on the Munsterside, whose lofty summits tower up high intothe clouds. The shores, sloping -graduallydown to the water, are covered with luxuriousfoliage, through openings in which may beseen the ruins of many an ancient castle andonce stately mansion. Portumna itself is a flourishing town, butof no great antiquarian interest. The popula-tion of town and district is about two thou-sand. Near by is Victoria Lock, Melleek, adjacentto which are two strongly built towers, whichformerly mounted eight guns, and which, inmore romantic times, were erected to guardthe pass of the Shannon between Connaughtand Leinster.

Text Appearing After Image:
The Shannon and Its Lakes 119 Shannon Harbour, at which the Grand Canal joins the Shannon, is situated on the river about six or seven miles from Shannon Bridge, and is immortalized by Charles Lever in Jack Hinton. As a tourist resort the town appears to have degenerated sadly, a pretentious hotel establishment having been converted over into barracks for the constabulary. From Shannon Harbour the steamer passes Shannon Bridge, and in due course reaches Athlone at the lower end of Lough Ree. Population, seven thousand. Industry, manufacture of the celebrated woollen tweeds, which provides employment for several hundred operators, both male and female; there are various other smaller manufacturing industries pursued by the town population. In the rural districts, cattle rearing, both in Westmeath and Roscommon, and the pursuit of general agriculture is principally followed, and the inhabitants of these rural districts are generally comfortable and fairly well-to-do.Such is the usual guide-book
