Lake of the Four Cantons Tour inland voyage portrait
In a richly detailed panorama the author describes a Lake Lucerne excursion aboard the Helvetia. Tourists gaze on emerald shores, alpine towns, and the Swiss countryside from the boat as farms, cottages, and a covered bridge pass by. The piece culminates with the boat docking at Lucerne and a view of alpine peaks. Ruby Doyle signs the narrative.
