"No," Vane assured her; "I'd a good deal rather talk to you." "I want to say something," Evelyn confessed. "I'm afraid I was rather unpleasant to you the evening before you sailed. I was sorry for it afterward; it was flagrant injustice." "Then I wonder why you didn't answer the letter I wrote at Nanaimo." "The letter? I never received one." Vane considered this for a few moments.
"We'll try to get a bit of galvanized steel in Nanaimo," he said. "I can't risk another smash." Carroll laughed. "You'd better be prepared for one, if you mean to drive her as you have been doing." He flung back the saloon scuttle. "You'd have swamped her in another hour or two the cabin floorings are all awash." "Then hadn't you better pump her out?" retorted Vane.
The steepest grade is 80 feet per mile rising towards Nanaimo, and 79 feet per mile rising towards Esquimalt; these grades are rendered necessary to enable the line to overcome the summit lying between the two places, and which is 900 feet above the level of the sea. Running, as the line does, through a rugged country, there are a good many sharp curves rendered necessary.
At the instance of the secretary of state the government agreed to build immediately a road from Esquimalt to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, to prosecute the surveys with vigour, and make arrangements for the completion of the railway in 1890. Mr.
That is what the pilot and I saw while most of the passengers were sleeping. It was the veritable aurora borealis, and that alone were worth the trip to Alaska. One day we came to Fort Tongass a port of entry, and our last port in the great, lone land for all the way down through the British possessions we touch no land until we reach Victoria or Nanaimo.
The dainty gear of the trout spinner gave birth to the trolling fleets of the Pacific Coast. At first the schools pass into the Straits of San Juan. Here the joint fleets of British Columbia and of Puget Sound begin to harry them. A week or ten days later the vanguard will be off Nanaimo.
By the way, the last time we were at Nairn's I happened to cross the room near where you and Miss Horsfield were sitting, and I heard her ask you to wait for something at Nanaimo or Comox. It struck me as curious." "She told me to wait so that she could send me word to come back, if it should be needful." "Ah!" ejaculated Carroll.
The whole tree, with the exception of the larger part of the trunk, looks as though it had been thoroughly peeled. It is found sparsely scattered along the shores of the Sound and back in the forests also on open margins, where the soil is not too wet, and extends up the coast on Vancouver Island beyond Nanaimo.
Vane happened to be in a confidential mood; though usually averse to sharing his troubles, he felt that he needed sympathy. "I'd better confess that I wrote Miss Chisholm a few lines from Nanaimo." "And she didn't answer you? Now, I couldn't well help noticing that you were rather in her bad graces that night at Nairn's the thing was pretty obvious. No doubt you're acquainted with the reason?"
We wound in and out, in and out, among dreamy islands; touched for a little while at Nanaimo, where we should have taken in a cargo of coal for Portland, whither the Ancon was bound; but Captain Carroll kindly put us all ashore first and then returned for his freight. We hated to sleep that night, and did not sleep very much.
