A trip through the canal can never be forgotten
Let us suppose that we are in a ship at Colon, bound for the Pacific. After reaching the sheltered water behind the breakwater in Limon Bay, out ship follow a dredged but invisible channel to a place where, with low jungle-clad banks, the canal visibly be find. It is easy to chart your voyage, using the map on page 1055.) Going showly now, we proceed in a sea level channel five hundred feet wide toward the great Hat in Loukg seven miles inland. Dense, brilliantly green jungle begins at the waters edge; overhead black buzzards hang against the blue sky, pelicans solemnly bestride every post in the channel and slim begins, feat-green or blue, are fishing industrious.
