We remained a night here, as it was too late to run through the Straits to Bangor.  Early the following morning, however, the wind was fair, and we continued on the same course.  The tide also favoured us.  Had it been against us, as it runs at the rate of between five and six miles an hour, we should have made but little progress.  The shores are high and picturesque, with villages here and there, and some handsome residences, the finest belonging to the Marquis of Anglesea.
