Quotation from: Elsinore

"It's the Golden Gate!" Miss West cried, indicating the west. "See!
We're just inside the harbour. Look to the south there. If that
isn't the sky-line of San Francisco! There's the Call Building, and
there, far down, the Ferry Tower, and surely that is the Fairmount."
Her eyes roved back through the opening between the cloud masses, and
she clapped her hands. "It's a sunset within a sunset! See! The
Farallones!"--swimming in a miniature orange and red sunset all their
own. "Isn't it the Golden Gate, and San Francisco, and the
Farallones?" She appealed to Mr. Pike, who, leaning near, on the
poop-rail, was divided between gazing sourly at Nancy pottering on
the main deck and sourly at Possum, who, on the bridge, crouched with
terror each time the crojack flapped emptily above him.
