VICTORIA ARM

Is an extension of Victoria Ilarlior, aliout four
miles in length. To thoroughly enjoy its beauties one
should take a rowboat, naphtha or steam launch,
and make a leisurely triii to its extreme northern
end, where the old buildings of the Hudson's Bay
Company's trading post are still standing.

THE GORGE

AlKiut midway of its length Victoria Arm nar-
rows to a gorge, through which the tide-waters
rush at certain stages with torrent-like velocity,
forming a reversible fall. Strangere are warned
not to attempt the passage of the Gorge in sma'.l
boats, when the water is at all rough. The safe
w.ny is to laud and guide the boat up or down the
rai>id.

ESQUIMALT

Street cars run to Esquimau, which is the
station for the British North Pacific Squadron. One
may also go by carriage, a plensant drive of four
miles through Victoria West. The points of inter-
est at Esquimau are the British warships, the navy
yard. Imperial dock yard, and the beautiful ecenery
of Esquimau Harbor and the Royal Roads. On
the road one passes the Work Point Barracks,
where the Imperial troops are quartered. Row-
boats and launches may be engaged at Esquimau
by which to visit the warships. There are extensive
fortifications uear Efiqnimalt, but these are not oi)pn
to visitors.
