Synopsis
Excerpt from Five Months' Fine Weather: In Canada, Western U. S., And Mexico
It must be to this landing on Sunday that is owing the wonderful luck that attended us through our journey. We had almost perpetual fine weather, and where storms did occur, they always seemed to be arranged for our advantage, as the heavy rain at Mon treal, which filled the Lachine Rapids and the Mont morenci Falls, near Quebec, and the snowstorm which delayed the Denver and Rio Grande train just long enough to enable us to enjoy the whole of the grand scenery in full daylight.
After Edward had gone round presenting some letters of introduction, and making arrangements for our ou ward progress, he returned to the hotel for me, and we spent the short time we had in New York in seeing as much as we could. We went first to the top of the tower of the Produce Market, fourteen stories high. Of course there is an elevator. The view is glorious-all New York, the harbour, the statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, the two rivers, everything is visible from this tower, and New York looks far better from there than from the level.
