eleven full grown whales ashore,
including the big bull Of the flock.
On his way back on the train

ity OF some rough going over this
piece of the route. The route now
veers more easterly through Carriers.
Vile to Marietta, and then again
south along the line Of the Southern
Railroad, through Atlanta, McDon.
ouGh and Jackson to Macon.
Up to this point the route has
passed through larger cities and
towns at rather convenient intervals,
and 1t would seem that there were
no serious physical difficulties to
bar the progress. 1t is believed
that the greatest struggle Of the
entire trip still lies ahead of the
pioneer enthusiast The route now
would undoubtedly follow the gen.
eral course of the Georgia Southern
and Florida railroad through Vienna
and Upton to Vladosta, Ga. and
across the State line through Jasper
Fla, to Lake City, where 1t would
bear east with the Seaboard Air
Line along tho southern edge OF the
Immense Okeflnokee swamp region
through sMacclenny to Jacksonville.
The condition of the roads (and
trails) after leaving Macon would
probably be a serious problem. and
road mendins tools might come in
handy quite often; the character of
would undoubtedly present many DIFF.
ficulties.
The approximate distance to Jack,
sonville from New York along this
route Is 1880 miles 1t would be
legitimate claim to fame in tho
automobile world for someone to
undertake and successfully accom-
plish this trip.
From Jacksonville south to Or.
mond and Dayton, the trip has been
made by autos several times; the
route leads across St. Johns River
and east to Pablo Beach on the At
lantic coast, thence down the beach
to inlet at st. Augustine where there
Is ferry. From St. Augustine
south to Ormond the roads are
poor, but passable, and from Ormond
to Dayton is good road on the
mainland, and also the famous beach
on which the races are run. The
distance from Jacksonville to Or
mond Is about ninety miles, making
the total distance from New York
to Ormond 1,540 miles.
