Synopsis

The region corresponds to that of the Mediterranean -Southern France, Spa.in, Italy, and Cairo-and to Charleston and Northern Florida on the Atlantic Coast. It has all the appearance, with its palms and semitropic verdure, of the tropics, yet it has not a tropical climate, the winters being cool and bracing, and the summers cooler than any seashore region on the Atlantic Coast south of Nova Scotia.What Madeira, the Riviera, and the Azores are to Europe, the Channel Islands of California have become to the United States, a great national playground vis-ited annually by an army of pleasure-seekers and trav-ellers not only from this country, but from all over the world - a contingent which will be augmented many fold as years go by, when the Isthmus Canal is opened, and yachts and other vessels can easily reach this coast.
