		CRUMMOCK LAKE
		Is three miles in length, three quarters of a mile in breadth, and twenty-two fathoms in depth. This lake abounds in trout and char, and receives its main supply of water from Buttermere, from which it is parted by low flat meadows, that are little more than half a mile in breadth. Melbreak rises abruptly on the west side; Rannerdale Knott forms a bold promontory projecting from Buttermere Hawse, which advances up to Grasmire and Whiteside, that close it on the east. Its waters flow out by the Cocker under a pretty bridge. It has three small islands, one a rock, the other covered

		with wood, but being too near the shore, they add nothing to its beauty.
		The best general views are from Buttermere Hawse on the east, and from the road between Scale Hill and Lowes Water. But the mountains of this vale, and those at the head of Newlands, are nowhere so impressive as from the bosom of this lake, some of the loftiest rising from its very margin. The middle part of the lake presents the utmost grandeur.

		CRUMMOCK LAKE
		Is nearly three miles in length, three quarters of a mile in breadth, and twenty-two fathoms deep. It is situated between the two lofty mountains, Grasmire or Grasmoor, on the eastern, and Melbreak on the western side; and in combination with the more distant hills, it affords some excellent views. It has three or four small islands, but they are placed too near the shore to add much to its beauty. The best general views of the lake, are from the rocky point on the eastern side, called the Hause; and from the road between Scale Hill and Loweswater: and the views of the mountains, from the bosom of the lake, are excellent.
		Both these lakes are well stocked with trout and char, the latter of which are smaller in size, but perhaps not inferior in quality, to those of Windermere or Coniston.

		CROMACK-WATER [1],
		Soon opens after you leave the village [Buttermere], and pass through an oaken grove. A fine expanse of water sweeps away to the right under a rocky promontory, Randon-knot, or Buttermere-hawse. The road then serpentizes round the rock, and under a rugged, pyramidal, craggy mountain. From the crest of this rock, the whole extent of the lake is discovered. ...
		This lake is beautified with three small isles. One of rock lies just before you. The

		whole eastern shore is diversified with bays, the banks with scattered trees, and a few inclosures, terminated by a hanging wood. ...
		...
		These lakes are of a much greater depth than Derwent-water, and this may be the only reason why they have char, and some others have not. The char, in the summer months, retire to the deeps, probably to avoid the heat. The water here is clear, but not so transparent as the lake of Derwent. The outlet is at the north-east corner, by the river Cocker, over which is a handsome stone bridge, of four arches. This lake is four miles in length, and in some places almost half a mile over.

		The following account of a whirlblast, observed on Crummock Lake in February last, may perhaps be deemed worthy of insertion, by those who take an interest in observing, and tracing the causes of atmospheric phenomena. Owing, probably, to its peculiar, twisted form, whirlwinds are of very common occurrence on this Lake:-
		WHIRLWINDS ON CRUMMOCK LAKE. - On the 4th inst. (February, 1846,) as a friend of mine was proceeding along the margin of Crummock Lake, his attention was attracted by the wind suddenly taking up an immense body of water, by a sweeping rotary motion, until it formed a column 180 feet in height, and apparently five or six yards in diameter at the base; though it must, in reality, have been much more, as the observer was half a mile or more distant from the spot where the phenomenon occurred, which was about 150 yards above the Boat House, and near the centre of the Lake. Its progressive movement, if any, was exceedingly slow, and, after continuing entire for fifteen or twenty seconds, a tremendous gust, in a moment dispersed the entire body of water, sweeping it along towards the entrance of the Cocker, in the form of dense sheet of spray, which, from its whiteness, greatly resembled a rapidly falling snow shower. The sides of the column were dark, as though formed of a solid body of water, but the mass was faintly transparent, and, evidently, hollow in the middle, yet without any ascending central current. The phenomenon was, doubtless, formes by a sudden rotatory motion communicated to the water by a whirlblast, produced by the meeting of strong, opposite, and contrary currents of wind. The pillar
		Page 7:-
		was nearly of the same diameter throughout its height or extent, but was tending slightly towards a point when it was swept away. The water was much more agitated round the base of the pillar, than in other parts of the Lake. The day was fine, but very squally, and at the time of the occurrence, the sky was quite clear overhead; had there been a Rain cloud above, the apex of the column would probably have coalesced with the crown of the nimbus, and a waterspout would have been the result. A few minutes after the disappearance of the column, and when the observer had arrived at the edge of the clump of scraggy oaks, near the foot of Melbreck, another whirlblast occurred. The leaves, and other light substances, were rolled backwards and forwards on the ground, and then, almost instantaneously, were taken up in a conical form, by a spiral or screw-like motion, as high as the top of the mountain (about 2400 feet), and again slowly descended, like flakes of snow.
		These phenomena are of frequent occurrence in vallies surrounded by lofty mountains, like those of Cumberland and Westmorland. Pikes of hay are often taken up by them, and scattered to every point of the compass.

		...
		CROMMOCK, or CRUMMOCK WATER, which is seen in the fore-ground of the present view, is separated from Buttermere by a fine level and luxuriant vale. The view form the middle of Crummock Water is singularly grand: the mountains on each side, rise immediately from the water, and consequently appear higher as well as more precipitous than some others in its neighbourhood. Some of these are naked, other wooded to their bases; some are verdant, and some rocky and heathy. This lake is nearly four miles long, and about half a mile broad.
