These tales today are in eonnec lion with the doctor's second cruise of the Indian River couti try during the winter of 1881-82 in his new schooner, the Rambler. • small five-loa schooner, 34 feet in length, 10 feet beam, and drawing two feel aft; the bottom was half round, with a good clean bow. and stem cut away somewhat like the sharpie. 7ho cabin was quite roomy. 8 by 15 feet- The doctor writes some highly onmplimentorr things about Florida in beginning Ids log covering this second crilse: During thr autumn of 188!, I matured my plans for n long contemplated cruise nround the coast of Florida. As my wife's beallh ha* been failing for a year past, I determined lo take her with me. knowing from past experlcnrc that a short time spent in tl land of perpetual summer would rapidly restore the bloom to her cheeks, brightness to Her eyes, and vigor to rcr body. Accordingly, about the middle of December, IMl, my wife and I-arrived at Jacxsonville, on our way to Indian River.At Titusville the doctor and his pariy found Its new Rambler waiting (a considerably larger craft than the Blue Win?. of his 1876-79 cruise) and soon they were headed down river. After some adventures , . .We wcnl a shore at Fori Pierce to chat with Ben Hogg, who keeps a store at that place. Bm has a monopoly on the Indian trade on the southeast coast, and buys their deer hides, alligator teeth and beeswax. A parly cf Indians from the E»ef£tadcj were then hunting back in the fiat woods, their canoes beiriE drawn up on th shore in front of the store. Ben has a good sea-going sltxjp Ir. which he makes occasional trips lo Jacksonville, going out of the Inlet opposite.The author decided to visit Old Cuba, who lived a few miles down river. Old Cuba having bees The Only Settler Between Fort Pierce and Jupiter Inlet on his earlier visit: Alas! the char acler was gore to the Happy Hunting Ground, and this is bow rh* doctor describes it:A few miles below Fort Pierce we stopped at Hermann’* Grove for a supply of sour oranges for culinary purposes, sour orange juice and soda being superior to baking powders in the conitruc-of them back as soon as raughl, when they were ready to bite agair.; for it was cut and come again with these voracious and gamoy largc-mouthcd bass; gamey, indeed, as those of any other waters, though, on account of the generally sluggish current of these rivers, they ire aoon larded. Fiih In swift water seem lo be endowed with more vigorous and fasting fighting powers. I/Jt which is really lo be attrib utrd to the force of the current, which aids them materially in their opposing and staying qualities.’The black bass of Uie St. Se-bartiHA and the St. Lucie were the finest for the table that 1 have ever seen, utterly devoid of that muddy oc musky flavor char-nctfri'tke of northern bsis. Perhaps (heir occasional visitation to the brackish water at the months of these rivers has something to do w;th this.At Fort Capron, abort four miles norlh of Fort Pierce, the doctor and his party had some more wonderful adventures.We spent two more weeks on Indian River and its tributaries, is tow he describe* it. going P and down river from Fort Capron and the inlet opposite, and had many delightful experiences, fish ing, hunting, shooting and collecting marine curiosities and botanical specimen*, and feasting oc fish, game, oysters, crahj, turtle, oranges, bananas, guava*, etc. As this was Imt an experimental or trial trip of the Rambler, we re-tiraed to Titusville. Mr. and Mrs. Bishop departed for Lake Worth, and Mr. sod Mrs. Mayor and my wife, greatly improved In health, returned to Jacksonville mid the north. We now began our final preparations for the cruise around the coast to Cedar Key.The story of the cruise of the Rambler back down through the Indian River country, thence to Lake Worth, the Miami territory, the Keys, then up the lower West Coast of Florida, will make some pxceUent material for another day.
