544 OCEAN TO OCEAN ON HORSEBACK. 



two hundred days of rough riding, I deferred ter- 

 minating my journey until two days later. It will 

 be remembered that I undertook to ride from the 

 Atlantic to the Pacific in the saddle, and hence my tour 

 would not be literally completed before I reached the 

 shores of the Pacific. Accordingly on the twenty-sixth 

 of November I remounted and rode to the Cliff House, 

 a romantic resort built on a rocky prominence overlook- 

 ing the ocean. From here I descended the Toll Road 

 to the sandy beach. A westerly breeze rolled the 

 breakers up to the feet of my horse, and I forthwith 

 walked him into the waters of the Pacific. My self- 

 imposed task — my iournev from Ocean to Ooea.q* 

 t>s HoiiSEBACK — was accomplished.
