On ascending slight eminence few rods from
the railroad iepot the broad bay Of Panama
Law spread out before us, presenting vast pam
Drama Of dazzling waters clothed here and there
with miniature Islands as green rs emerald.
These islands are callsd Pirate Islands from the
f,et that during the carly DAYS Of the Spanish
colonies they were infested with gangs Of those
sca-ruyers who preyed on the Spanish commerce.
They rise abruptly out Of the water as II by
some volcanic eruption they were thrown up
fiom the bed Of the ocean. There is good anchor
age for ships Of any draught In the bay, but with
all its natural advantages there is not a dock
ong the extensive shores Of this bay to accom-
modste vessel OF any burthen. All SHIPS lie
some five or six miles from the city, down the
bay and their cargocs are taken ashore in light
err. At 1880 A. n. we took the company's tug
boat and steamed out TO the p. Nj. s. Constitu-
ton that was lying at anchor In the roadstead.
We soon had all the baggage aboard, and at
noon we hoisted our anchor and directed our
course toward the broad Pacific. For the first
two days we sailed nearly South or South by
West owing IN the conformation of the coast.
Then ~, rraduallv changed our course to the
Wet and Northwest until we were fairly headed
