Editors Florida Agric,tlturist:
Our first boat load of oysters were
out, and it was limited that second
one would prove acceptable. We
have learned by experience that it is
our best policy to notice these little
hints about our domestic matters, so
we ordered provisions cooked for five
day, and made all needtul prepara-
rations to get off the first fair wind.
At this season of the year if we take
advantage of "a northeast wind to run
down the river, we are almost sure
of a fair wind to return. In one case,
however, the northeast wind passed
before we were ready, and it changed
to the east, then, after good dinner,
we hoisted sail and started north.
ward. Our companion du Voy0ge on
this occasion was the Major, gentle
man pretty we'll known in this sec.
tian, and a frst.rate fellow to go on
trip of this kind with, simply because
he is always willing to do his share
of anything and everything to be
done. The only trouble with him is,
he is apt to borrow trouble, and is
always prophesying untold disasters,
in the way OF adverse winds, terrible
storms, etc. In this case, happily, his
prophecies proved failures, for an
east wind continued all the afternoon,
and all night nearly, dying out just
before daylight. 1t was light, how
ever, yet when daylight came we

miles, and were in the narrowest part
