soon WAS moving along at a better pace, the
wind breaking her off Il came. This was
evidently a marked advantage. as the Sham
rock was standing up with all sails happng
and the Columbia was hustling a fresher
southeasterly breeze. At 1;36:40 the Columbia
went into the starboard tack with a big way

certainly succeeded in making herself the lead

that the Columbia had put herself ahead, and
on this last occasion ii was superior general

For the next half hour the boats moved when
they could When they came close to the wind
they would almost STOP and when they payed
off to get a little way on to put them through

each other on different courses. At 2Ol the
Shamrock ran down her working jbtopsail. the
Columbia having at this time passed out to
windward and ahead of her, and 2O3.OS the
Shamrock broke out a jibtopsail which was not

Another half hour passed in sailing

THE GREAT DISMAL SWAMI.
Many Bs.rs to be Found In the virginia
Mornss.

Many Bears to be ound In the Virginia
Morass.
The Great Dismal Swamp is a region
strange and interesting, weird and SOL
itary. 1t occupies a billowy plain
some forty miles in length by twenty
five miles in breadth along the Allan
tic seaboard, extending from Suffolk,
Va, in southerly direction, well into
the bounds of North Carolina. It's
deep shades, great stretches of brake
and its very solitude make Y region
of interest. To the naturalist and
sportsman it has much to offer. In its
silent Businesses, the black bear finds
a home admirably adapted to his pro-
lection and in every way favorable to
his increase. Here amid the dense
growth of underbrush and timber, he
may live in comparative safety. And
there is perhaps no locality in the
whole eastern United States OF like ex-
tent which can offer larger bear pop
ulation than this great morass. The
white-tailed deer is also an abundant
denizen of the swamp, frequenting the
elevated parts. In addition to the deer
and bears, there is a big-game feature
Of rather unusual nature. The
swamp abounds in wild cows. These
animals, of brown color and some
what smaller than the ordinary COW,
having for many years been under the
peculiar conditions of the swamp, un-
til they are almost completely special
lied, are extremely wild. They are
feralized from the herds of the farms
adjacent to the swamp, and are the de-
scendants of cattle which many years
back wandered into the Businesses and
were lost to their owners, finally be-
coming wild. Being no longer recog-
nized as property the sportsman may
call game all that he may have the
prowess to shoot. Lake Drummond,
some ten miles from Suffolk, Va, is
the only body of water in the swamp.
1t is beautiful sheet of water, of an
oval contour, and fringed with a
heavy growth of timber, mostly cy-
press, white cedar and black gum. Its
water is of dark green color, owing
to the decaying vegetation of the sur
rounding country, but is suitable to
drink, and possesses the quality of re-
naming pure longer than most other
water. For this reason it is often car
ried to sea by sailors on long voyages.
The characteristic mammalian fauna
is of a semi-tropical nature as regards
the smaller forms, while there are
many tropical plants. OF birds there
are not many kinds, prothonotary,
hooded and Swainson's warblers and
the Maryland yellowthroat being the
principal smaller forms. The trees.
some of which are primeval, are large
and beautiful, while there is a luxuri-
ant growth of ferns and aquatic plants.
Cane grows in profusion.-Forest and
Stream.
