The Twain party arrived August 13, 1895 and stayed at the Rainier Hotel. 

“Mark” had a great audience in Seattle the next evening [Aug. 13]. The sign “Standing Room Only” was out again. He was hoarse, but the hoarseness seemed to augment the volume of his voice. After the lecture he met  many of his friends and admirers at the Rainier Club. Surely he is finding out that his misfortunes are his  blessings. He has been the means of more real pleasure to his readers and hearers than he ever could have  imagined had not this opportunity presented itself [Eccentricities of Genius 220]. (MTDBD)
