Adventures and Letters

CHAPTER XIV
5/46

Today as soon as we learned we could not sail we started in to see sights and we made a record and hung it up high.

We went to the Cliff House and saw the seals on the rocks below, to the Park, the military reservation, Chinatown, and the Poodle Dog Restaurant.

We also saw the Lotta monument, the Stevenson monument, the Spreckles band stand, the place where the Vigilance Committee hung the unruly, and tonight I went to a dinner the Bohemian Club gave to the War correspondents.

I made a darned good speech.
Think of ME making a speech of any sort, but I did, and I had sense enough not to talk about the war but the "glorious climate of California" instead and of all the wonders of Frisco.

So, I made a great hit.
