Johns, and a Walk to Topsail. I WAS lying in my berth, in one of the deck state-rooms^ on Monday morning, when a sailor came up to the open window and said: "You'd better get up. Sir; we shall be at St. Johns in an hour." I took his advice at once, hur- ried on my clothes, and got on deck in time to see us pass Cape Spear, a bare, green headland, crowned with a light- house, beyond which the coast trends westward for several miles. The land was lofty, presenting a bold front to the sea, and the... entrance to St. Johns Harbor, which our little pilot pointed out to me in front of us, was a narrow gap between two precipitous hills whose bases almost touched. The morning was rauiy and overcast, but not foggy, and the approach to the shore was so seoure that we made A TELEGBAPHIC TRIP TO NEWFOUNDLAND. 253 directly for the entrance, which we had ahnost reached, when a four-oared boat, carrying a pilot, put off to meet us. The town of St. Johns already began to appear through the gap or gorge, and in a few minutes we were sailing between nearly perpendicular walls of dark red sandstone, which rose to the height of 700 feet on the southern, and 620 feet on the northern side.
