In the grocery store, On the sidewalk. At special events. And on one especially stggnge day, at the end of a long, windy, dirt road through the forest, at a brush fire. Unbelievable!

A new 'covered coh- veyance' offered comfortable seating for those wishing to travel the link between the railroad at Whitby and the stage line to Manilla, service was assured to arrive on time to meet either the train or the stage!
