A RAILWAY THROUGH THE SEA. 141
States of South America. The journey natu-
rally appeals to the tourist, as it is the
only railway which runs for many miles over
the sea. The traveller can locate his bear-
ings when he leaves the mainland only by
the numerous lighthouses which rise from
the sea on their skeleton legs, and are visible
from the carriage windows. Sombrero Reef,
Alligator Reef, and American Shoal lighthouses
take the place of milestones, which is just as
it should be on a sea-going railway. Through-
out the journey the ocean ships are seen from
the carriage windows—the vessels that ply reg-
ularly between the ports on the Atlantic coast
of America, Cuba, the West Indies, and the
Central and Southern States of South America.
