Santa Barbara and Montecito, past and present . and shadows—a veritabledream city, the Naples of the West. 255 SANIA BARBARA PART V. The Channel Islands THE islands of the SantaBarbara Channel are fam-ous the world over fortheir scenic beauty andwonderful climate, beingvisited annually by pleas-ure seekers from everyland, who seek diversion inhunting and fishing. Fishof various kinds are foundeverywhere, and the biggame fish, taken with rodand reel, made the islandsfamous years ago. Theangling is so remarkablethat it is difficult to con-vince the stranger that itis no joke; yet there is al-ways abundant evidence of its truth. The islands of the group are four in number, San Miguel, often fog-bound, lying farthestwest, then Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, which isfinely wooded, and Anacapa.

It is saidby scientists that the presence of this stream isnot responsible for the wonderful climate of theChannel Islands, but that this is due to the mod-erating power of the ocean, but it is at any ratemore interesting, if not strictly accurate, to be-lieve that the Black Current gives to the PacificCoast its mild winters, and a climate that has allthe beauty of Southern Europe without its ex-tremes. Santa Rosa and San Miguel derive theirnames from the Saint whose festival the churchcommemorated on the day of their discovery. Anacapa, meaning deceptive vision, was thename applied by the Indians to the island. Thisis rather appropriate, for Anacapa is verychangeable in appearance, sometimes standingout as a single peak, then changing to a longtable
