The glorious color we so enjoyed on the upper deck was wanting, but the views of the noble peaks of the Fair weather Range were sublime. They were perfectly clear loomed in the azure, ice-laden and white like very Gods. Canby Sargent were lost in admiration as if they had got into a perfectly new world so they had, old travelers though they are.
