"This rippling line of Pacific surf marks the end of the great Aryan migration, which began ages ago in some mysterious unknown land of central Asia, surged through the deep alleys of the Himalaya*,- and has since poured ever westward,making the greater part of the world's history as it went. Across this boundary of white colonization yellow people of the Easht have shown thernseles ready to flow in a counter current, making complicated racial problems and giving the western boundary an ethnic importance which none of the other three boundaries possess. "For centuries after the discovery of the Atlantic coast of Amer!fiu nvan />/\?? f o ?? Q ?? I ?vu, vf en iui eciiiiii irn mirr i ??i inoa first looked upon the Pacific it Panama after his compatriots sailed ships actons its vasf expanse, the Pacific coast of what is iu?w the United States remained practically unknown. Cabrillo, ;he Spanish navigator, it is true, entered San Diego hay near the present Mexican border in 1542 ind his expedition later sailed north as far as the big bulge in the coast line. But the two priceless features of the Pacific coast was missed: San Francisco bay, one of the greatesl. best and safest of the harbors of the world, and the entrance to Puget sound, where land-locked Seattle and a group of other fine harbors now tandle* a large part of th? commerce between America and the )rient. "This failure of early navigat?rs to find San Frauciseo hay, i hough many of them passed up 4>d down the coast and the Spbtish even made a special effort to discover a satisfactory harbor, constitutes one of the mysteries ?f the Pacific seaboard. Francis Drake is supposed to have an hored in Bodega bay, about '40 miles northwest of San FYancisco. and numerous other explorers vis.ted the tiny Drake's hay, only 30 miles northwest of the Golden Gate, and * the Parralone islands, an equal distance due west of the great bay, but none of these sojourners appears to have "obtained .he slightest inkling of the existence so close by of the matchless harbor. The bay was first sighted from the. laud in 1709, more han 200 years after the Spaniards began their search for a Pacific coast harbor, and it was six years later when the first ship sailed hrough the Golden Gate. "The'Pacific coast of the United States is markedly different from he Atlantic coast, especially thai part of the latter south of Massachusetts,' with its relatively low mndy shores and its ontlvinw i>nl. . # ? wark of sapd islands and sand spits. San Diego bay, only ten miles north of the Mexican border, is the only bay of major importance on the Pacific coast of the United States land-locked by a sand spit. Point Loma. forming the northern boundary of San Diego bay, however, is a ridge several hundred feet high, and from there northward to Canada with only a few miles of narrow lowlands between the sea and hills or mountains by way of exception; the coast is bold and rugged. Parts of it are Avhat geologists call a 'drowned coast,' where mountains have shrunk.so that the water meets their steep slopes. Parts are 'uplifted coasts.' where, mountains once tinder the sen have partlv emerged, and their slopes are still lapped by the waves. ''It is the mountainous and bold character of the Pacific coast Iniuvii ii on aisnncny troin the coast of the Atlantic. From a point 50 miles north of San Fran-1 cisco one may sail northward for hundreds of miles alongside bluffs and promontories, finding hardly any indentations of importance. It was this region which made the Spaniards despair,before they discovered San ' Francisco bay, of finding that essential to commerce in afl ages, a safe, commodious port. Today the problem has been solved on a small scale at least by th*. construction of cable tram-1 Ways extending from the heights to outlying* rocks.

The center of the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca is the northern boundary on the Pacific of the United States proper. "After an interval of nearly 600 miles where British Columbia fronts oil the Pacific, the Pacific coast again 'becomes territory of the United States as the southernmost point of Alaska is reached. .
