 UN Francisco about 10 o'clock
 " of an early spring day. A fresh cold wind pursued us, and the, sky above us was bluer than I had ever seen 1t before, even on the isth- mus. To our right some great rocks were covered with seals and sea lions, and back Of them were hills of yellow sand. A beautiful great mountain rose green to our left, and the water be meath us swir.ed and eddied in numer- ous whirlpools made by the tide.
 Everybody was on deck and close to the rail. We strained our eyes ahead and saw two islands and beyond shore of green hills. None of us knew where San Francisco was located, nor could we find out The ships com pany were much too busy to pay at tentton to our questions. The great opening out of the bay beyond the long narrows was therefore a surprise to us. It seemed as vast as an inland sea. We hauled to the wind, turning sharp to the south, g1ided past the bold point of rocks.
 Then we saw the city concealed in bend of the cove. It was mainly of canvas, hundreds, perhaps thousands of tents and, canvas houses scattered about the sides of hills. The flat was covered with them, too, and they ex- tended for some distance along the shore of the cove. A great dust borne by the wind that had brought us in swept across the city like a cloud of smoke. Hundreds and hundreds of vessels lay at anchor in the harbor, vast fleet.
