AMONG The strange things that strike

AMONG the strange things that strike
the eye In Vancouver city is boat
colony. 1t occupies a strip Of beach
back Of the town on the saltwater
"arm, or ford, and consists Of twenty
or thirty little floats, few Of them over
forty feet long, that are built over
and supplied with beds and cooking
utensils. Some Of them are occupied
by laborers, but the best appearing
ones, that arc put together with a good
deal of art and are really handsome
pieces Of wood working, are the homes
OF Japanese artisans. The scows float
at high tide, but are moored 10 the
shore. The strangeness OF the scene is
heightened by the tents of dirty In
dams on bluff just above the water.
