Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Mingled Yarn: Sketches on Various Subjects On the 27th of December, 1874, accompanied by my wife, I took passage in the steamship "Montana," bound for Panama, and after rather a boisterous passage of four days, during which time we experienced as much misery as is usually accorded to sea-going people about the Californian coast, we ran into the harbor of San Diego, the future rival of San Francisco, as its inhabitants are pleased to call it; a rising town, doubtless, but destined to remain for many years in its rising condition, before it can in any way compete with the mistress of the Golden Gate. The San Diegans point with pride to their safe and beautiful harbor, but they forget to mention that that harbor is always destitute of ships, one small coaling barque belonging to the P. S. N. Co., being the only vessel in sight upon our first visit, and on our return, even this one was absent, and the stars and stripes which floated from the custom-house, met no answering signal from the waters of the bay.
