Puget Sound lies in its emerald settinglike a great blue sapphire, which at sunset,draws to its breast all the marvelousand splendid coloring of the fire-opal.Around it, shining through their rose-coloredmists like pearls upon the soft blueor green of the sky, are linked the greatsnow-mountains, so beautiful and so dear,that those who love this land with a proudand passionate love, have come to think ofit, fondly and poetically, as “the land ofthe snow-pearls.”
