There is nothing of more general in
terest to us, than the old city walls.
Standing at the head of ST. George street,
it is one of the few landmarks yet left of
a number fast disappearing. When first
seen, it is disappointing, as it is by no
means massive. 1t is only great and in
teresting after one becomes familiar
with its history. Inconsequential as
may seem now, there was a time when
it stood out bravely enough, and
when in their security st. Augustine re-
joiced. In those days they looked out
upon a wilderness, and the belated trav-
eler hurried on to their shelter. Stout
ly their walls gave their strength when it
was needed, and defended for the King
of Spain, his garrison town in Florida.
They have witnessed many a narrow es-
cape and gallant rescue. To-day, dis
mantled and useless, they remind us of
the past, and of the fact that we are on
historic ground.
Finding too much of general interest
to hasten, we trust your readers will par
don one more infection, promising it as
the last for the present from
