pears an advertisement under the
heading of Travel from Florida by
Steamship" in which are brief de-
scriptions of two new and exception
ally attractive steamship routes from
Jacksonville inaugurated this season
by the Mallory Steamship Lines.
For several seasons there has been
a great demand for a steamship pas
senger service between this territory
and the ports of Mobile and New Or
leans. Such line is now established,
and caters strictly to passenger travel
from Florida. The details of this new
route are as follows: Steamships of
Mallory Line leaving New York every
Friday and bound for Mobile. Ala,
now call at Brunswick, Ga, which
point is reached early every Monday
morning. Passengers from Florida en-
route to Mobile and New Orleans by
leaving Jacksonville every Monday
morning at o'clock, have a short rail
ride of three hours and reach Bruins
wick at noon in time for dinner aboard
ship, and sail from Brunswick that
afternoon for Mobile direct.
An Enjoyable Trip.
This trip is an especially enjoyable
one, over Southern seas, usually free
from the severe weather, and because
of that fact the steamer pursues
a course along the east coast Of Flor
ida. with many scenic attractions
along shore. plainly visible. After
passing around the many keys off the
sOuthernmost point of Florida. and q
delightful voyage of about thirty-siX
hours on the Gulf of Mexico, and a
daylight trip through Mobile harbOr,
passengers are landed at that city,
usually on Friday morning. New Or
leans passengers are ticketed from
Mobile by rail, which is only a short
ride OF about three hours.

Another attractive steamship route,
which will be a popular one with the
Western tourists, is that via Key West
to Texas, and over which the Mallory

senger business in connection with its
express service from Key West to
Galveston, Tex. Travellers from the
lower east coast of Florida. via Miami,
and from the Florida Gulf coast, via
Port Tampa. by this route are afforded
all-ocean trips to Texas, and in fact, an

Port Tampa passengers are handled
in connection with the Peninsular &,

Island City. thence by Mallory Line
express steamships to Galveston, at
which point close connections are
made with all rail lines diverging to
points in California, Colorado, New
Mexico, etc.
Through the Sea Islands.
The route to New York by Mallory
Steamship Line has always been a
favorite with travellers to and from
Florida, and needs no special mention.

islands afforded passengers by this
line, is a most delightful one, carrying
passengers in and out among the pic
