Excerpt from Clear Round

Starting from New York in September, 1902, and crossing our Continent via New Orleans, to the Pacific Coast, we sail from San Francisco, on the S. S. China, of the Pacific Mail Line.

We steamed slowly down through the Golden Gate and past the silent guns of Alcatraz, which command its entrance, out to the open sea. The next morning we felt the breath of the tropics and on the sixth day we sighted the Hawaiian Islands, the Paradise of the Pacific.
