this travelogue introduces Pfeiffer's extensive journey from Batavia to San Francisco. Chronicling her experiences aboard the ship Seneca Baltimore, she describes the vast distances traveled over the ocean and her initial impressions of San Francisco upon arrival. She paints a vivid picture of the city's landscape—an impression that is both awe-inspiring and starkly barren. Pfeiffer offers intricate details about the local society, customs, and the high cost of living there, all while showcasing her keen observational skills and deep interest in the unique cultures she meets, setting the stage for her broader explorations of California, Peru, and Ecuador in subsequent chapters.
