A thousand-mile walk to the Gulf . e the[ i47l A Thousand-Mile JValk proffered aid of steam, when we soon reachedour quiet mid-harbor quarters and droppedanchor among ships of every size from everysea. I was still four or five hundred yards fromland and could determine no plant in sight ex-cepting the long arched leaf banners of thebanana and the palm, which made a braveshow on the Morro Hill. When we were ap-proaching the land, I observed that in someplaces it was distinctly yellow, and I wonderedwhile we were yet some miles distant whetherthe color belonged to the ground or to sheets offlowers.
