The sugar mills and indigo watts went

the way around to the Rio Grande, nor
very different from much of the coast of
the great lakes.
Beginning at the mouth of the cele-
brated st. Johns, which is little south of
the Georgia state line, we find bodies of
water with two or three exceptions, salt,
communicating by some inlet with the
ocean, of from few hundred yards to
several miles in width, usually shallow,
ordinarily currentless, and Astounding, in
a full meaning of the term, in fish, oys-
tiers, CLANS, crab, shrimp, Holsters, alliga-
tors, turtles, snakes, ducks, geese, snipe,
herons, cranes, pelcans, marsh hens,
water turkeys and scores of other ami
mated things of the fur, feather and
scale Kingdoms.
1t is a sportsman's paradise and the
bang of guns and the whir of reels are
heard on all sides. As much real enthu-
siasm iu piscatorial exploits as have
seen this year was displayed in the vicin
ity of the inlet by a good lady of Nash
vile, Tenn 1t was an ordinary occurrence

They would consist of channel bass, red
snappers, black snappers, sheepshead,

tarpon, porges, pig fish, weak fish, Gre
valli, founders, grupers, Jew fish, black
fish, balloon fish, toad fish, cat fish, sharks,
sting rays, porcupine fish, lady fish, pilot
fish, saw fish, etc.
These bodies of water as a rule are in
reality lagoons or sounds, though they
are known here commonly as creeks or
rivers. They extend south along the
coast for about 800 miles in this order /:
Pablo creek, Matanzas river, Mata Com
pra creek, Halifax river, Hillsboro river,
Mosquito lagoon, Indian river, Lake
Worth, Bayo Ratones, New river, Dumb
founding bay, Biscayne bay, and Cards
sound. These bodies, particularly the
Indian river which is $50 miles long,
straight as an arrow and from one TO
seven miles wide, afford as fine water for
sail boats and launches as the world
offers, so travellers tell me.
Ten years ago this section was hardly
known. There were no steamers or nap.
tina or electric launches, and sail boats
even were luxury; the waters swarmed
with myriads of fish, were covered with
ducks and geese; wild turkeys, deer and
bear were to be had without an effort F;
the struggling settlers lived in isolation
and made long journeys for mail and for
articles of clothing and household use.

and extends south the length of this
river, the length of Hillsbro river, Mos
quito lagoon and distance Of twelve
miles along the Indian river. 1t was in
this hammock, rich in the accumulated
vegetable mould of centuries of decay
that Turnbull, from whom it took its
name, settled his colony little less than
200 years ago. Prior to his time, how
ever, colony of forty families from the
Bermuda islands settled at the present
site of New Smyrna, attracted by the
fine live oak forests which abounded.
The success of the colony, the salubrity
of the climate, its wonderful product
iveness and its adaptability to the cult:
walton of indigo which was in great
demand attracted the attention of Eng
lish capitalists to the place. Accordingly
DR.. Andrew Turnbull, of London, who
mas married to Grecian woman. headed
colony for the purpose of growing
indigo and sugar cane. Settlers from
Minorca, one of the Baleric isles, and
from Greece and Italy to the number of
| 800 came over. They were located at
what was then called Mosquito, now New
Smyrna, almost opposite our lighthouse,
which stands on the north side of Mos
quito inlet They rebuilt and utilized
old coquina building, which had been
there nobody knew how long. The old
mission or monastery, of which | wish
particularly to write, was the principal
one, and it is now generally known as
Turnbull's Old Sugar Mill" Here the
Minorca people built their cabins, plant.
ed their vines, their fruits, grew their
vegetables, directing number of hours
every day to the cultivation of sugar
cane and indigo, The settlement took
the name of New Smyrna from Smyrna,
the birth place Of Mrs. Turnbull. II had
been agreed in forming the colony that
after three years the settlers were to be
freed and to receive fifty acres with such
improvements as they might find time
to make in the interim Handsome re-
turns from their labors made Turnbull
greedy and his promises failed. He kept
them as slaves, treated them tyranically,
worked them on short rations, a part of
the time giving them quart of corn per
day and only two ounces Of hog meat
per week. They submitted for nine
years and dwindled in numbers TO 600.
He had his stocks, his whipping post,
and his dungeons under his mansion.
The immense bitches they dug for miles
to drain the back lands are now discharg-
ing he superAous water as when Turn
bull left them. Wells nicely walled and
arched are yet in use, while indigo watts
and various other evidences Of Turnbull's
occupation are frequently to be met
with.
