After a euuple of hours of rest, we

from a friendly Indian of the ileep,

We tiad passed the Hrida Veil Falls,
w here tin -w ind catches the spray and
spreads it out like a veil, it was still
more U-autiful on our return, w hen the
sun struck it in such a way that a
beautiful rainbow was seen in the
spray.
It is necessary to ito miles further
to see the immense' Sequoia trees, but
in the \ alley the pines are weM worth
seeinir, many of them 17-i feet high. ■

curds of wood had been cut from it
This was a yellow pine, but the sugar
pines are alsmt the same si/e.
A' night comes on, all the guests re

the sight on the trees, with |>erhaps
some music l ater, Mr. < urry makes
his voice reach clear to the top of Ula- i

nightly tire tlieie. An immense lire is
built up tirere, and when i! is burning
well, it is pushed over the Point and

fireworks—like a fall of tire instead of
