Northern California, Oregon, and the Sandwich Islands

CHAPTER I
6/32

The hottest part of the day is before noon.

The trade-wind usually blows, and when it does it is always cool; with a south wind; it is sometimes sultry, though the heat is never nearly so oppressive as in July and August in New York.

In fact, a New Yorker whom I met in the Islands in August congratulated himself as much on having escaped the New York summer as others did on having avoided the winter.
The nights are cool enough for sound rest, but not cold.
It is not by any means a torrid climate, and it has, perhaps, the fewest daily extremes of any pleasant climate in the world.

For instance, the mercury ranged in January between 69 deg.

at 7 A.M., 75-1/2 deg.
at 2 P.M., and 71-1/2 deg.
