merely Connecting the various bodies OF
water that lie parallel to it's course.
'.As it preserves this lake-like form
through it's whole extent, and ends in
lake, It may. from analogy, be conclu-
dsd that all the unknown region be-
tween it and the ocean on the west, ls
also like the country | have just des-
cribed-a land of lakes and innumera-
Bile sheets of water.
"Some new term in geography must
be invented to describe this extraordi-
maryland of many waters, which has
believe, less of teyraqueous charac-
ter than any other region OF country
perhaps in the known world.
:. Some of the lakes of which have
spoken, though fine sheets of water, are
without any other beauty, owing to
their being surrounded by melancholy
and nonotonous forests of pine. The
waters Of all OF them are remarkably
clear; hence they are termed ID the
country. Clear Water Ponds In
the summer, when diminished by
drought, the edges that are lett dry'
are covered with a fine verdure, which
renders the districts that they occupy
the finest grazing country in the world
affording both stock. water, and pas'u-
rage, as they never become completely
dry. Some ofthem are said to be I'M
favorable land it is pretended, that a
rise and fall Of water of several inches,
has been observed in them.
cit has also been conjecturcd that a
subterraneous interconmunication ex-
lists among them, from various pheno-
mena, which have been noticed by the
inhabitants; while the waters of
others are supposed to be discharged
under ground into the sea.
sit is asserted that spring of fresh
water rises in the ocean, opposite to the
south end of Anastatia Island, FIVE or
six miles from the coast. l have met
with persons who averred that they had
seen this fountain, and drank fresh wa
ter from it. They further said, that
they had sounded round it, and had OBJ
tanned seven fathoms water, while, in
the middle, they could find no bottom.
This spring may be one of the outlets
of the great interior mass of waters, tor
which there seems to be no sufficient
exit on the surface"
