Excerpt from Across Widest America: Newfoundland to Alaska, With Impressions of Two Years' Sojourn on the Bering Coast Profusely Illustrated
St. John's itself is the capital of the Island colony and the chief seat of its commerce. The story of its career as a centre of population is the story of many another centre of small beginnings and long periods of adolescence. It rose from the ashes to which it was reduced in the desastrous fire of 1892; its buildings are con sequently modern and substantial. But notwith standing its up-to-date aspect, there is a quaint ness about the city that is peculiarly its own. With its South-side Hill and its enormous heaps of cod-fish, its fresh salt breezes and its unsavory seal oil, its generous hospitality and its insular customs, its picturesque Quidi Vidi Lake and its breakneck streets, its summer heat and its ice bergs, St. John's is a city of contrasts.
