September 15th, the Warrimoo approaches Sydney harbor.  Twain relates the story of the ship, the Dunbar  (Twain refers to the ship as the Duncan Dunbar which was actually a different ship), breaking up on the rocks at the harbor entrance in 1857.  Twain writes of the beauty of Sydney but Australia's interior brings to mind Nevada's dust storms, the Zephyrs.
