I only know what I have read in Hardyment and Brogan — that the McEoch family sent AR a fan letter that had made an impression on him in which they said that they had become ashamed of playing at Swallows and Amazons and invented their own ploy. They sent him some photographs of a wintry landscape with a frozen lake, captioned Cape Horn. Cape of Good Hope, Buenos Aires etc.
The inference is clearly that these photographs set him thinking of the possibilities of frozen Windermere. . .
