Two hours after our heavy Pullman train passed over the Southern California road from Riverside to San Diego, bridges and embankments gave way under the pressure of the waters, and nearly a week elapsed before the damages were re- paired. We were thankful that we had escaped from disaster, and were housed in such a delightful place as the Hotel del Coronado, across the harbor from San Diego, on the shores of the Pacific, at Cor- onado Beach. For a day or two after our arrival there was rain and... fog, and we began to think that the climate of Southern California was beautiful only in books. Then the sun came out bright, and though mists partially shrouded the distant mountains and lay far out upon the ocean, there was no more rain, and the weather prophets declared that the "rainy season " was over. There certainly seemed to be 57 58 BEYOND THE EOCKIES water enough everywhere. It was impossible to make any excursions to the Mission, to Tia Juana, or to Point Loma, for bridges had gone away, and fords had changed their bottom, and the roads were gullied and washed beyond repair.
