At length, about 4 P. M. On the evening of the second day, we made a last dying struggle, and by shaving the rocks succeeded in entering. The entrance to the harbour is very fine. The gigantic citadels of El Moro and Cabanas crown the heights on each side, frowning ominously over the city, which lies low on the west side of the entrance. The first view of the white houses and closed shutters reminded me of Cadiz. After the health-boats and custom-house officers had paid their visits, we landed,... having had some difficulty in retaining possession of THE HAVANA. 223 our guns and pistols, as the Spaniards tvere in rather a nervous state of mind, on account of Lopez's threatened invasion. The Havana is a very busy mercantile city, ten times more so than any I have seen in Old Spain, and it is sometimes quite difficult to thread the narrow streets on account of the number of mule-carts and carriages. The quays and wharfs that line the south end of the harbour are of solid granite, and extend upwards of a mile, covered the whole length with an iron-roofed shed, worthy of a railway terminus in England.
