Great descriptions of early San Francisco (text).
"At the Cliff House the two sat down
to their beer in a quiet corner of the billiard-room. There were but two
players. Somewhere in another part of the building a mammoth music- box was
jangling out a quickstep. From outside came the long, rhythmical rush of the
surf and the sonorous barking of the seals upon the seal rocks. The four
dogs curled themselves down upon the sanded floor." |
