On the afternoon of the next day we made an expedition to Cliff House, about six miles from San Francisco, doing the distance partly by car and partly by carriage. To show the difficulty that there is in gaining any accurate information, I may mention that we were told we could not have a carriage to take us under £2, whereas the actual outing was accomplished in the end for about ls 6d each. Cliff House is an hotel situated facing the Pacific Ocean. The interest there is centred on two or three rocks, about a quarter of a mile Off, out at sea; on and about which rocks we saw scores of seals disporting themselves. They are protected by the United States Government and not allowed to be killed. There must have been between two and three hundred of them and we were much amused at seeing them crawling about the rocks, and taking headers into the water, and at hearing their bark in the distance. From the signal station we had a good view of the Golden Gate, as the entrance into San Francisco Bay is called after duly admiring it, we walked across the sandhills, and, rejoining our carriage, returned to the city.
The impression left on my mind by San Francisco, is that it is a great and flourishing city one of the best I have seen in America; but I think it has reached the height of its prosperity. While it was the port of embarkation on the Pacific, with railway communication to Chicago, New York, and the East, it enjoyed a monopoly. This advantage must now, however, cease for the Pacific ports of the Northern Pacific Railroad, of the Southern Pacific Railroad, and eventually of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, will all compete with San Francisco for trans-continental traffic. Two of these lines are already completed, and the third will also be finished in the course of a few years, It is true that as the country fills up, traffic will increase but for the ocean trade to China, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, the ports of the new railways (at any rate those to the North) will shortly, if I am not very much mistaken, Share with San Francisco a privilege that has hitherto been her's alone.
