Table monntnin i, i.iv. . I uiuu Cape Town rests its shoulders, while its feet dangle in Table bay throws its ever-changing shadows upon a land of trees, flowers, oak groves, healthful hills and arum-lilied arum-lilied valleys. In alJ the world there is, perhaps, no city so beautifully located as Cape Town. A nobler site for a city couid hardly be imagined. It rivals Gibraltar and Constantinople, Constanti-nople, Bombay and San Francisco. Immediately behind the town' which lies along the sea, the majestic ma-jestic mass of Table mountain rises to a height of 3.G00 feet, a steep slope capped by a long line of sheer precipices more than 1.000 'feet high, and to the right and left by I hold, isolated peaks. Thp hon,.ti ful sweep of the bay in front, the towering crags behind, and the romantic ro-mantic pinnacles which rise on either side makes a landscape of unusual grandeur. Cape Town enjoys a most equable climate. There is a wealth of sunshine sun-shine at all seasons of the year. The breeze blowing fresh from the sea tempers the rays of the African sun.
