A Visit to Old Los Angeles and Environs

Coming into Long Beach, Arthur avoided the middle of town, and brought us in via the rather swampy western approaches. The ocean opened out before us; and just as downtown Long Beach came into sight, Papa cried, "And that, I believe, is our hotel—the Hotel Virginia," as Arthur pulled into a driveway.
