Easaval of South Utst From the north a strong breeze came away, so that in theSound of Barra whiter-capped wavelets were hurried beforethe wind, and the small fishing-boats made heavy weatherof it as they set their course for home. At the foot of the hijl a hen harrier passed me, beatingthe fields methodically and causing great commotion amongstthe fussy and self-satisfied corn buntings, though he paid noattention to the birds he put up from the growing crops as hepassed. Grey crows haunted the shore, and a little way out to seagannets were diving at their fishing. The breeze quietened,and late at night the sun shone on the north-western horizonbefore dipping beneath the Atlantic near to the lonely islandof St. Kilda, where, summer and winter, the long swell breakson the rocks, and the inhabitants live out their lonely lives,remote from the busy world, and knowing but little of it orits ways. 93 CHAPTER XXI A FEA
