This completes the composition, and makes the picture artistically perfect.
In the afternoon we sighted Suva, the capital of the group, and threaded our way into the secluded little harbor--a placid basin of brilliant blue and green water tucked snugly in among the sheltering hills.

A few ships rode at anchor in it--one of them a sailing vessel flying the American flag; and they said she came from Duluth! There's a journey! Duluth is several thousand miles from the sea, and yet she is entitled to the proud name of Mistress of the Commercial Marine of the United States of America.

There is only one free, independent, unsubsidized American ship sailing the foreign seas, and Duluth owns it.

All by itself that ship is the American fleet.

All by itself it causes the American name and power to be respected in the far regions of the globe.
