PUGET SOUND ARGUS.

But it' anything were nee-led to prove the fact, the, sturdy English man swinging his cane and murder ing his "h’s" around the warehouse would be all snllicicnt. The air is balmy, and we have almost yielded to the temptation to take a cuh for Victoria to meet a few friends, and to witness a few of the May—day picnic excursions. But duty bids us stay aboard and grind out a little editorial pahulum for our readers over on you Yankee shore. 'l'cn o’clock arrives, and, our task finish ed, we seek to know of the myster ies around this quiet harbor and its sleepy town. An American vessel is being towed out by an English tug boat in a staid English way, while H. M. S. Rocket lies at the wharf with her gold laced mounted officers pacing the qnarterdeck in such a lordly way that one feels con strained to go over and ask per mission to look at this “blawsted country, you know," Well. we go ashore and enlist the kind offices of a friend who shows us first through the fanfamed DRY-DOCK, The scene of such a vast amount of labor, the pride of British Col» umbia and the political hope of some. of her M. P. R's. This grand result of engineering skill is situated in a spiendid location—one side being solid rock, while in front isaspa~ cious and safe harbor. This dry dock has been the source of more wrang ling among the provincial politicians than has any other public work with in the past twenty years. It is an extensive and magnificent achieve ment, one substantially done thus far, and one of incalcu.able value to the whole province. It is evidently the intention of the home govern~ ment to create here a fort,a naval arsenal and a general repairing shop for war ships. We next turn our attention to the extensive dock~yard on the hill just back of and overlooking town, but her and channel; but before doing so we must enter through the big gate at the macadamized road on th east side, and there register in a big book, after which an orderly with the air of a Roman general conde scendingly shows us the ins and outs of the establishment. His or derly majesty scarcely loosens his hold upon a stout sword which he carries, as though afraid he had charge of s {enisn in disguise whose . purpose was to blow the repair shops and store-houses to kingdom come. After leading the way to the commanding officer’s house, over looking the whole, our stately guide obtained permission from his higher majesty, and then We were allowed to inspect the piles of shot and shell, the cannons, mounted and dismount ed, the immense great anchors and the ship‘s stores of all kinds. On a little knoll is a tall ling stulferound the base of which is a platform and some old-fashioned guns (twenny four pounders) that were last used to fire a salute on the day that Pres inlent Garlivld was buried. Lower down, and near the water's edge, is at large boat house in which an as sortment of boats great and sm. 1 are kept. Here we found several workmen putting in their time at regular government licks. They ‘ hand evidently been geared For slow ‘ motion on purpose. A Chinnnmn whitewashing the stones along the] sides of the walks centpletwkthe: picture—at least all there was of life ! «r itniinition visible outsiilo the i buildings. Hmrything is kept in i .v'egulntion newness, and we turn} Away feeling that the hour has been . eassntly occupied. l \IIII\. li.‘-r\l» iii‘v Is I til; Mn bull-l with .t it ; _mng. unil the :owl ship tnrn~ lw-r pruw \n-nwat‘ll uncl swarm ;r\\';l_\ i min .t liv'nrtv mil. \U-rv lit'le ul‘l 'lll"l't“[ occurs in gettin.r mm of the! ~tmits :nnl r‘oun.liri_r lint .. ~t'h.

The deck has been crowded with passengers all the afternoon, but now they begin to follow the exam ple of the Arab and’“silent|y steal away.” Anon the musical “New York” of the commotion going on where breakfasts are striving to gel atop of dinners. Ladies turn pale and suddenly leave the cabin in fright apparently something forgot ten in their state-rooms. The night is passed in tossing and rolling. The ship was evidently thoroughly in structed in the intricate science of rolling gracefully—and she has nev er forgotten how; indeed she is prac ticing as industriously as though about to enter a rolling contest. Morning dawns on a restless, angry ocean. [lead wind and sea seem de termined to prevent our progress. Breakfast table is almost deserted. The bald headed passenger emerges from his berth looking decidedly worse for wear, and attempts to reach his seat at the table, but through the treachery of his footing he knocks the cross passenger over a Spittoon and sits down astride of the solemn passenger’s neck. Then the cross-eyed passenger braces him self for a grand rush to his seat, and in the uncertainty as to where he would “bring up,” all dodge and scramble to get out of the way. Once seated, the problem is not so much as to getting enough to eat as it is to prevent your coffee from wan dering 03 in ungraceful rivulets across your shirt-bosom. All day long the wind and sea. rage. Wed nesday is better. Thursday, the weather turns otf pleasant, and as the California coast looms in view, the passengers once more prorne~ nade the decks. Friday morning; the day opens gloriously, and, with Golden Gate in view, we lay aside pencil to enjoy the sight of rolling hills and balmy atmosphere of the state wherein we were hora. A.
