Of thought and sentiment til! We reach
Snohomish City the terminus of our first
days journey, we say good bye to the
obigng Capt. and Officers of the IephUr
with regret. Right here we recommend
this same craft 10 all pleasure seekers
and comfort lovers that can avail them
selves of her accommodations this advise
being the result OF our united expert
encps. Coming ashore at SnOhomiSh IN
u drizzlmg rain, we conclude to post pone
our "out of doors camping" 10 more
propitious weather, the Governor takes
us to the Riverside inn. where we are
kindly received and given the privilege
of camping in the spacious parlors OF
the same. Ere we had hardly begun to
feel at home, we were waited upon 10y
several gentlemen from Snohomish, and
invited to participate in n so,ihl dance,
which all the adult members of our party
accepted in the same genial spirit that it
was given. After anxious discussion by

dispelled, at the ball or dance we met
several ladies, we have been pleased to
entertain in the past at our homes that
We otherwise should not have seen.
August 1ltb, weather still unsettled
cloudy and rainy, we decide to remain
in oOr present comfortable quarters till
we can have a pleasant day. August
18th, the sky being cleared up we decide
to break camp and depart. Thanking
our kind and genial hos: and hostess we
embark (amid the cheers and good wishes
ofthe friends on shore) part in canoe, part
prefer to follow the trail with dogs and
ammunition promising 10 meet us at
noon with game for dinner.
'Tis now we feel as we are really
started that in due time our eyes, shall
behold the famous Sno1ralmie Falls, and
although hborihg under the disadyan-
tage of having no Indians to help pole
the boat up the rapid river, we are not
discouraged, for have we not two of the
,ruest, and best boys of Seattle (indeed
we think of the whole Pacific coast }
