As the wind freshened up a little we stood on towards Fowey, passing Looe Island and Talland Point.  Fowey is a place of far more importance than Looe, although much of its ancient glory has departed.  The town rises above the quay, and consists of a number of narrow, crooked streets; and it has a quiet old market-house, a fine tower, and a building called the _Place_ House.  The town owes much to a patriotic gentleman, Joseph Treffry, by whose means it has of late years been greatly improved.
