Thus you get glimpses of Seattle, Steilacoom, Tacoma, and of the so-called saw-mill ports Port Madison, Port Gamble, Port Ludlow, and Port Townsend the last named being also the boundary of our Uncle Samuel's dominions for the present, and the port of entry for this district, with a custom-house which looks like a barn, and a collector and inspectors, the latter of whom examine your trunk as you return from Victoria to save you from the sin of smuggling.
There had been a scarlet-fever epidemic on the lower West Side, which the health inspectors finally traced to the public school of the district.

His name sounds Cornish," I asked. "Falmouth, I believe. He is quite young, but he has had nearly three years in the Vernon at Portsmouth and in the torpedo factory at Greenock.
