Joe must have liohl his course off shore all night, for I held her on a northvest course over an hour liefore land A.t- sighted, after which I retired to a raft, wrecked with colter and a "hog", which, was enjoyed bj all. We sailed up the roast with a i.eavy sea, head on. and sighted Cape Hianenu light at lii.ito [ere we lashed everything to the .i<rk. a- III rounding the Cape wn had rnrotmtarcd a rough sea for a distance of probably twenty miles. Af 1 tor clearing the cajie we ran with wind dead ahead ull day. Here the first effects of a luml-iuhher weic ' frit by Oliver and My*elf.

We ; had Wakfa.-t. and, after holding ; council, ilecldeil to try to pas. the liai. We crossed successfully nftei , running two immense seas and entered Momiulto Ijigonn. This was a \ beautiful inland waterway, surround- . el by tropical shruliliery and palms. We .proceeded' up the canal to the beautiful little city of Duylunu. nr- ' riving uliout 12 noon. Hem we tm,k '• is, sixty gallon- of gasoline, a supply of groceries and water anil were un- , ■icr way by 1J0 p. m. A short dis- ' lance. from Daytor.a we pui chased 2 iloien eggs from a bridge-tender for ' the -um of twenty-five cents |>er dor- ' cn (Ocean City grocerymen lake no- ; tice of this part). All is well until . Joe -iglits one of oar famous Florid^ reptiles snoozing sublimely on tlie bank ami .in two minutes them's a , large alligator lying dead on our ! deck. He is now in the possession of Jo-. Cobb, of Corson's Inlet. We ran about twenty miles mom ! before dark ami came to anchor in ' a narrow canal, where we ntlemptnil , to spend the night. After the captain entemil with his melodious ' "ukedilly," or auto harp, at which he i- an adept, we turned in for the night, and' say, "turning in" was all. I never saw so many mosquitoes in * ray life, and I have lived in ' Floridatwenty years. Must say we lost our religion that night ami S.30 found us well on our way again. We passed some womlerfu! scenery on mr lost lap of our journey through Florida up, I did not stop at anymore towns until we reached Fernandina, twenty miles from Jacksonville, which was some trip for the Ilere we purchased a dishpan full "f -hrimp nnd had some feast. We spent a very pleasant evening promenading the street. I say street beta u-e that's all there was, a one main drag. All ahoanl for a big hop. This is April 9, and we hop to Savannah' - from Femnndina, with a light west wind and our course i. "th. North-ra-t sail set. motor running, we fairly ate up the miles all day and arrived out side of Savannah Bas Bouv nf inlet in trance about !».15 p. m., dark V.d stormy and a blast from the "hi, tie buoy every minute. This toon put the crew's nerves on edge, and. bs a large vessel was lying at anchor waiting for a pilot bout, the captain decided we would not attempt entrance, so we sailed all night. After taking two reefs in the main Mil, -we proceeded to pass the night. It was nice until the wind changed 'o northeast ami then a very rough -e:i kicked up. Captain Hark spent nm-t nf the night on ileck at the • heel and was really the only mnn in the crew capable of handling his I- sit in such a sea. We tied up at She dock inside at Charleston, S. C-, on April 10 at 9. 30 a. m. Hem some of tHe loungers uliout the wharf expiesaed dislielief that we were really out and lived through such a blow at "a in a itiat of our size. Here we shuyird. all hands cleaned up and took Jt trolley car out to the Jnological garden, called Hampden Park. We saw the zoo, which wnyv composed of a rabbit and an^-*®!. After this we. returned to the' ship and changed clothes "as we really M-emed to I* in a class of our own dressed in white flannels and Palm Beach coats. Very nice harbor, so we spent the night hem. During the eight we hiul a change in the weather and it turned out to be one of the coldest davs of the journey. Next day, April II. we derided the weather too hud to to' to sail, so we rested up. Almut 9 JO the Four Friendr.. from Palm Beach, another yacht, and the Naomi, from Stone Harbor, came to anchor beside us. ami I want to say here the yacht Four Friends left I'alm Beach one week ahead of us and we lieat her into Charleston by twenty-four hours. We all -ailed from Charleston on April 12 and n» , the wind was still blowing a gale we decided to go inside a short way on untJI the sea was fit to sail. We were accompanied by three more I yachts, so wny not make some headway* We soon left them all out of sight, and hem Joe took the wheel and soom hud us up n small creek. After running about three hours, we were hack where we started. This ilis guiled Captain Clark, who declari

ed he was through with inland waterway- anil we anchored for the night in sight ,.f < Remain bight. A April 14 at a, .'10 a. in., found .-re another canal in South Carolina. About hJO p. m. we -isike to a yacht about ten miles fr,„„ Southport, by the name of Catharine. Thi- - -kippe. was towing id- life- boat and a-ked where he was. After direrlmg him, we were -,mn inside again at Southportr'N. C... for gas ami sup-Hje-after a run of eighty-six miles. Wfc laid over all night and crossed p bar at Com Cake Inlet at' 11.30 • a. m.- Hem was a long bar that ex- ■ tended u half-mile out to -eu, wifh a heavy .-ea and a bud break all the !. way. The good little ship -. through, with Captain -Clark at the y wheel, without taking more than two ,1 or three buckets of water on deck. -. WltK a sounding of five feel on the i. bar. it was our intention to come inr side at Wrightsville, N. hut. uri. riving . there, we found we could not I approach the inlet nearer than a y mile. The sea was getting tougher f every minute ami the barometer - fulling, we. saHgd dead ahead to a e northeast see until, we matthed Beaun fort Inlet. Here i- a deep water ine let for large boats, and we could not get close to the first buoy, which is • I ■" 'east a mile from the beach. We I were compelled to -lake all sail off „ and tun with the motor head to the : k. -ea- all night. Captain Clark' and I, "Joe , keeping her head on to the sea , without relief for twelve hours. At times we would be out of sight i f between Yteas and then, for a Full i p minute rim up u small mountain of - ?atel.

'"u"d him clinging to tlie rigging , . ami asked him where we were going. "Well, if another one like that last . ■ one breaks on us we are sure to go." . he replied, and, after looking around, - I retired mice more, this time not to ' lie disturbed by more than a ton of ] water on deck at one time. We ran , I all night hUHl-on to this storm, ami ( morning foui#l us a bunch of worn- t | from land? • ' *a"ors' - We run al>nut ten miles farther up , the coast and sighted a Bight of , « ape Peek, where there were a seore , "t small fishing bouts at anchor. We . soon touk advantage of the tutrix,!. , all, I. after coming to anchor, we had ; a most enjoyable meal, all thankful to lie in calm water once more, after " logging off 9N miles of the roughest | | sea imaginable. Here we turned iif I for the day. During this storm a ,. four-masted schooner mistook the ; Cape Fear Liiththmise for the light- 1 -hip and came across the slmals, s . which is a very treacherous place. ; The coast guard tohl us it was the second ship in twenty years that had . crossed the shoals without heing i wrecked. One of her crew said she' was making eighteen knots when -lie hit the shoal and it threw him fully twenty feet out of his bunk. | I Tlu- entire crew, including the Captain and wife, took to the small boat • and road out the sea all night. Next -. morning the boat was still sailing of . own accord, and the crew tried " . to route and catch her, but could not do so. The coast guard over- , hauled her and weighed anchor. After taking her sails in, they found , eight feet of water in the hold anfl left her riding at anchur. . She was | only nineteen months old and the
