DRY ToRTuGAs.- Rebel sympa- |
thizers have said much concerning
the horrors of Dry Tortugas, in re-
ply to which Silver City (Idaho) /
correspondent of the Sacramento Bee
writes as follows under date of Apr.
goth:
Editor Bee: | have noticed an
article going the rounds of the pa
pers lately on the terrors of Dry
Tortugas. Whoever wrote that ar
ticle knew but very little of those
islands, or wished to create sympa-
thv for Mudd. He says neither
friendly rock, tree or grass, is to be
seen" 1t is true, there are no rocks
upon those islands, but trees there
are. There is an island about six
miles to the eastward of Garden Key
Garden Key is the one the fort is
on-called Loggerhead Key, which
is densely covered with trees from
whence the wreckers from Key West
who are stationed at those islands
get their wood. To the westward
about one mile is an island called
Bird Key. This key ia covered with
shrubbery from two to six feet high;
In June and July, thousands oil
birds deposit their eggs on this IS
land, which are eagerly sought after
by the wreckers as luxury. Nu-
merous turtles also bury their eggs
| in the sands of these islands,-or
KEYS, as they are called there, =
and the waters abound with fish.
The writer says they shave to de-
pend entirely upon rain-water tor
drink. That is true. So do the in
babitants of the island of Key West
some forty miles East OF there, con-
tanning near 1000 acres and pop
ulation of over $500. They never
thought cistern water very disagree
BILE: on the contrary, quite good and
healthy. He also says the place is
Every sickly." Key West has more
to make it sickly than Tortugas has,
vet there is not a more healthy is
land on the Globe. They may have
had the yellow fever at Tortugas-
