The possibilities of sight-seeing on the part of the visitor are al- ways, of course, circumscribed by the brevity of his stay in the port. With only a day at one's disposal the most must be made of the time so as to take in even in a fleeting manner as much as possible of the local sights. When a stay of two or even three days is made, then, naturally the visitor can pick and choose what he would like to see' and to omit that which may not particularly appeal to him. As one man's meat may be another man's poison, so one type of scanary or one place of interest may draw a crowd and still leave others cold and impressionless. But no tourist can afford to leave out the ascent of the Peak, undertaking the journey by motor car to the Pook Hotel, thence by sedan chair to the Signal Station and returning by chair to the Hotel and making the descent by tram car.
