How old, how Spanish, and how galleon the craft might really be, none could tell or would. But the sand-dabs were delicious; and from the queer window near her table a window cut in the ship's side she could see the Pacific, blue in distance, green where it tossed white foam-blossoms on a beach of gold.
It was the first time our theatrical friends had tasted sand-dabs, for this fish has come to San Francisco markets only in recent years, and they declared that it was the "only" fish fit to be eaten.
