canyons and mysterious valleys, rising
again into sunlit hills and dales.
The lonely villege is now far astern
and no other, apparently, has succeed
ed it along the coast, and even as you
wonderingly gaze ahead, no other
greater or lesser semblage of human
life is visible.
While you are anticipating some evil
dence of the port of call whittier you
are gradually advancing, the steamer
turns abruptly, and passing a rugged
cliff or promontory which guards the
narrow entrance, glides peacefully into
the basin of the harbor-a quiet, rest
full cove, secluded from the intrusion
/ of the sea or stormy winds.
1t takes but a moment to realize
I that the fresh, cool, sea breeze has
also been excluded, for an intense
wave of oppressive heat descends upon
you, and quivers in the sultry air be-
/ tween you and the shore line.
On every side, and forming COM
plete circle, miraculously tall impend-
ing peaks soar perilously upwards,
descending so abruptly to the basin Of
still water as to leave but a few feet
of level ground at their inner base.
A white, sloping beach skirts the
harbor in an unbroken line, and sinks
into the shadows, which are emerald
tinted and TEEN with many varieties of
small vari-colored fishes. The heart
of the harbor is clear transparent
marine blue, and very, very far below
the steamer are visible the broken
coral and mud at the bottom of the
basin which was many ages hence a
crater of living fire.
On the right are numerous native
villages, smuggling together in'groups,
each boasting it's own limestone church
and on the left is the U. S. Naval Sta
ton, with the custom house, a low
, bungalow building, the warehouses,
half dozen small white cottages pro-
vided for the wives of the officers sta
toned here, and the large iron and
concrete wharf beside which lie gun
boat and sailing ship with coal.
1t is still very early, but already
from every inlet and cove, row boats
and canoes are putting out towards the
big intruder, and ere long you find
yourself the hub of a great imaginary
wheel of which fifty or sixty of these
smaller craft are spokes with their
