 Quiet perseverance on the part of Mr S , and great kicking , bouncing and squabbling upon that of the yacht , who seems to like the idea of Skerry <unk> as little as the Commissioners . At length , by dint of exertion , come in sight of this long ridge of rocks ( chiefly under water ) , on which the tide breaks in a most tremendous style . There appear a few low broad rocks at one end of the reef , which is about a mile in length . These are never entirely under water though the surf dashes over them .... It will be a most desolate position for a lighthouse , the Bell Rock and Eddystone a joke to it , for the nearest land is the wild island of Tyree , at 14 miles distance . So much for Skerry <unk> .
