Excerpt from On the Shores of an Inland Sea
Azure of the ocean for a dozen miles away from its mouth, - and the morning dawned to find us at Victoria, B. C. We were there only a few hours, just time enough to visit the long, low government buildings and the business portion of the town, and then steamed to Port Townsend, our last stop in the United States. Port Townsend has a street railway, - at least the tracks are there, - and it is rumored that once every hour the car makes a trip. Of course, at such long intervals, it would be a small waste of time to ask your friend, to whom you are chatting on the corner, to wait for the next car he would grow hoary-headed while waiting, and would then have to be identified, when he reached home. So the car jogs along the even tenor of its way, unmindful whether the passengers take it or walk; and as the Port is very tiny, that latter alternative does not seem to incommode any one.
