FH ties by an excursion
on the bay The delightful trip through the
islands and up to Mare Island occupied the
greater part of the day, and proved an en-
joyable relaxation from the lengthy ana az
duous entertainment of the two preceding
days.
San Francisco Bay has no rival in beauty
When the glorious sunshine Sparkles upon
the warmth-dyed hills which rise from the
waters or range along the shores, the charm
of the scenes is everlasting. The cities,
towns, hamlets and summer resorts that
cover the hillsides or nestle in small valleys
seem well content with the brightness OF
their surroundings.
The stately ships from every nation; the
distant men-of-war; the graceful yachts tie
awkward stern-wheelers; the speedy Terry
boats: the ugly barges-all give lie TO the
waters which sweep in through the Golden
Gate.
