A steamer Surrounded by the
Monsters On OckIavgaha

From the Palataka (Florida) Herald.

From the Palataka (Florida) Herald.
i A gentleman who has been stopping
in our midst for some time, gives an &c
count of one of the most terrible scenes
ever recorded in the annals of this coun
try. While steaming up the placid
waters of the Ocklawaha river he wit
messed conflict which made his hair
stand on an end, never to be forgotten
After rounding Sackett's Point the
stream widens and deepens, and the
water at this bend always looked trou-
bled aud black. Suddenly the steamer
encountered sea OF alligators. founder
| ing aud splashing water in every di
rection. Their believing shook the
| foundations of the waters. The captain
| says he never heard or Witnessed such a
scene before and never wishes to again.
/ Before the speed of the little steamer
could be checked they found themselves
in the midst of these terrible monsters.
To go back or go ahead was impossible
The passengers endeaVored to drive them
away by shooting, and the hands on
board beat them with hand spikes, yet
they seemed more determined TO obstruct
the passage of the boat.
The situation every moment became
more critical, and the crew aud passen
gers more aud more exhausted, and the
destruction Of the boat seemed inevitable
Already three colored hands had been
desoured by these terrible monsters, and
several others wounded. Several planks
were torn from the hull, and the steamer
was with difficulty kept from sinking
just at this perIoo a source OF lellet
came. A huge serpent appeared, making
his way from the lakes-the same, II Is

the water was red with biood. Ii is
difficult to account for the number aud
sudden appearance of these animals, but
the latest theory may throw some light
upon the subject. L is believed by
many that there is large subter-aueous
passage of water between the headwaters
of the Ocklawaha aud the waters OF the
Okehoobee lake, and that these monsters
have found their way here in great mum
bers. and if noe soon exterminated will
