"Droll stories of Isthmian life" is a book by Evelyn Saxton separated into two parts. An excerpt from the first part of the book read thus «Nine years have passed since the ship which brought me from New York to Panama pulled out of its dock at the foot of Twenty-seventh Street. It was a bitterly cold day in February and the great „Iron City“ appeared very grey and forbidding as I took a last look at it before going below. A glance at my fellow passengers revealed to me a motley crowd.»
