Jack London Francis Quotations

San Francisco at the present time is like the crater of a volcano, around which are camped tens of thousands of refugees.

At half past one in the morning, three sides of Union Square were in flames. The fourth side, where stood the great Hotel St. Francis, was still holding out. An hour later, ignited from top and sides, the St. Francis was flaming heavenward.

San Francisco is gone. Nothing remains of it but memories.
