14 of Juan de Fuca our sea sick passengers began to walk again [and reappear on deck. Most of them lay down] They had been lying in their coffin-like bunks as soon as the waves began to sing [arose] & thus lost the best of the [breezy ocean] scenery. We arrived at Victoria early on the morning of the 17th in a bland gentle rain, the kind that keeps the forests fresh & develops the wonderful luxuriance of vegetation for which this & the adjacent regions are famous [noted]. In these few fine days we have reached another climate & country of people. Victoria is an English town, English in dress, in walk, in gestures, accent, ways of doing business, in the style of their homes, etc. In their orchards & gardens you will find the [old] favorite flowers, such as the honeysuckle, [&] tulip & mountain ash all [in great abundance &] flourishing [in the bland] showery weather if possible better than in their old home. & the best of loved English currant & gooseberry [also] & [the] favorite apples & pears.
