From this crest, by day, you look on one side across the bay with its three beautiful islands, bare Yerba Buena, jeweled Alcatraz and softly-fluted Angel Island, all seemingly adrift in the blue waters, to Marin county. The waters of the bay are as smooth as satin, as blue as the sky, and they are slashed in every direction with the silver wakes left by numberless ferryboats.
It belongs to the holly family, but contains a bitter principle similar to, if not identical with, theine, or the alkaloid found in tea and coffee." It is taken in a somewhat singular way. The mate, a gourd stained black, holding three or four ounces of water, is nearly filled with the coarsely-powdered yerba.
She thinks that if he saw his sister, and his old friends, and his old life, he'd get to hate the Yerba Buena. At first I laughed at her, and so did Aus. But, I don't know, Doc' Jim, she may be right!" "Shucks!" said the doctor, incredulously. "No, of course she isn't!" the girl said, after a pause. "I know Aus. But let her take him, and try. Then, if he comes back, she can't blame me.
Old Sutter's embarcadero became Sacramento City, simply because it was the first point used for unloading boats for Sutter's Fort, just as the site for San Francisco was fixed by the use of Yerba Buena as the hide-landing for the Mission of "San Francisco de Asis."
If he's above the earth I'll find him, you bet. The yerba buena and the southern wood came all right, they smelt like you.

The old frame dwelling built by a Swiss sailor in 1840 had become in turn a billiard hall and groggery, a sort of sailors' lodging house and a hotel. Now it was the scene of Yerba Buena's first election. About a large table sat the election inspectors guarding the ballot box, fashioned hastily from an empty jar of lemon syrup.
He nodded. "The ladies will be pleased," he answered in their stead. Another cheer met this announcement. Yerba Buena awoke to the sunrise of July 8, 1846, with a spirit of festive anticipation and a certain relief. Today the American sloop-of-war would land its sailors and marines to take possession of the port. Today the last remaining vestige of the Latin's dominance would end.
His food he cooks on a stick the asadevo fixed in the ground before the fire; and eats it without bread or any kind of vegetable, washing it down with copious draughts of yerba. He will gamble on all occasions, either with cards, dominoes, or coin a pitch-and-toss style of game. His horse-racing is more for the sake of obtaining the bets staked on the match.
