Such a vast and stupendous combination of ocean and mountain is almost Mrtk a stormy journey across the Pacific to behold. 154 BY BOAT TO CANTON. We have reached the spot near the top where the rail- road stops, and where our foot-journey begins, unless we choose to take a sedan-chair, which, for thirty cents, will carry us to the topmost point. We refused, however, to be borne up this magnificent mountain in any such ignominious way. The chair is all very well for level ground, or for get- tin...g through the crowded streets; but the true mountain climber would feel ashamed of himself to be borne aloft on men's shoulders up these rugged paths as long as he has two good legs to carry him. The road, though very steep, is weU made, and aflfords so many exquisite views from every angle and turn of the twenty minutes' climb to the peak that it is a continual delight. But the wind is blowing shrewdly from the top, and we do not linger long, even though the view is entrancing ; but soon descend, take the train once more, and in eight min- utes slip down this tremendous toboggan-slide on to level ground again.
