The regatta which took place at lal*
Hope yesterday was marred somewhat
Its Interval by a heavy shower of rain, a
the sudden subsidence of the wind. The
morning gave promise of a still breexe. and
the lovers of aquatic sports ware hopeful of
an exciting day. The citizens of Isle
Hope and the management of I
8a van nab, Skids way and Seaboard
Railroad had united in arrangements
for a grand time, and nothing
omitted on their part to add to the pie
of the r lid tors. The Guards hand wa
gaged, and previous to the departure of the
ten and twelve o'clock trains made trips
down Whitaker and Abercorn streets on the
ears playing sweet airs. The early train
carried out to the Isle a fair number of per
sons, and*to which considerable addition:
were made by the later trains, the band
coming out ou the 1'2 m. train and remaining.
The race was under the auspices of the
Savannah Yacht Club, and a very comfort
able bouse for headquarters was placed at
the disposal of the officers and members by
the President and Superintendent of the
railroad, who had also provided a bountiful
collation, “with the trimmings," and open-
handed hospitality was the spirit of the
About half-past twelve o'clock, just as
the second train arrived from the city, a
very vigorous shower sprung up and the
rain fell lively for over half an hour, many
fearing the race would have to be a ban
dotted.
By shortly after one o’clock, however, the
rain hod cleared away, the sun shone out,
ami although there was scarcelv a ripple
it breeze, arrangements were mode for the
darting of the race. The " little barker
was placed on the platform and primed for
tiring. Contrary to usual custom, the boats
in the fifth class were sent off first. There
were three entries in the first class, but only-
one put iu an appearance to start. This was
“ie *• Ware,” entered by Mr. F. C. Wrllr-
The start was made in flue style, tl
course for the first, second and third class
boats being from the stake boat, opposili
the grand platform to Whiting's Point,
retain and, thence to buoy at Martin’
Reach and then back to Isle of Hope. The
course for the other boats was only to Whi.
ting's Point and return.
In consequence of there being no breeze
it was known that the race would be slow,
and this diminished the interest in
great measure. The spectators, however,
felt well repaid by the sight presented of
the fleet as it passed along in front of
bluff, an<i the knowledge that
good seamanship would have to be dis
played. There being no competitor in the
first clans the Wave determined to have a
oik around," so to speak, and at the
firing of the pistol shook her satis and start
ed off beautifully, makiug the course in four
hours forty aud a half minutes.

and made a second trip, carrying a goodly
number who were unable to go in the mwru-

According to promise, the stcaw.c." left

and two servants, left Savannah at 4:15 p. m.
for Live Oak. We were well provided
against ever}* contingency that m ~ht arise
upon occasions of that character, and in ad
dition to the heavy stock of provbioos and
liquids i the latter to be used only in case of
snake bite) we were also fortified with a
good medicine chest, which fortunately we
hod no occasion to open. Through the
courtesy of that efficient officer. Superinten
dent H. 8. Haines, of the Gulf Road, we
were granted excursion rates to and from
Live Oak, and our entire luggage, Including
hound dogs, etc., which nearly filled one
baggage car, were transported without
charge.
At Dupont we were joined by Mr. F g.
with hi* fifteen-year-old hound pup “Cora,"
and at 3:30 a. m., when we reached Live
Oak, we found awaiting us “Uncle” Wil

and his brother, "Uncle Bethel.” who were
to guide us to the hunting regions. We

the woods, the recognition of certain locali
ties would bring ut> the recollection of
liard tussle I had here with a she-bcai,
‘upon this spot a pautber like to got me."
With such meu as companions, time could
uot haug heavy upon us, nor camp life ever
grow* dull. But w e are only at Live Oak yet,
and forty-four miles ia wagon* is still to be
compl’isbed before our destination eat
reached. Our wagons were ready, and
. roc ceded to pack them as best we could,
aud after an hour's delay we started ot: the
journey across the country. After traversing
about five miles, we stopped by the side of
a limestone sink, which abound throughout
the country, to water our stock and cook
breakfast. At diuner time we hsd reached
the banks of the memorable “Suwan

cluded to cook dinner. Setting upon

“Which shall I shoot at. Uncle Bethel •" he
asked. “Take that one lying down on the
left," was the reply, and with the crack of the
gun a floundering was bean! for a moment,
and within twenty step* of us, clearly visi
ble by the pan light, a good sized doe jump
ed up and stopped. “Shoot agaiu,’ r says
“Uncle B.,” “ vou have not killed It dead,”
and P d poured the remaining barrel
into the side of the animal before him.
“ You got him that time," says Uncle B.,
as the animal was heard to jump a few yards,
and then all was still. “ If v<mi had not hit
it no sound w ould have been heard, but that
fellow is badlv hurt, and if we don’t get
him to-ulght you will find hint in the morn

while, without success, the old man “blazed"
a pine, and. as the lightw ood was nearly out,
they struck out for dry land to replenish.

next Sunday aflRruoon at six o’clock, of
blessing a bell presented to the Sacred Heart
Church by Captain M. J. Grelish. It Is said
to be the first time that this ceremony has
ever been performed in Augusta.
We hear that a movement is on foot by
i the “ Way down upon the Suwannee river,
were recalled, and the writer wondered
w uat in the world could have made the “old
darky’s” heart turn to that stream. It Is true
that “dar’s wbar the old folks stayed,” but
as I gazed upon it and the surroundings, 1
soliloquized that it would take a good deal
to make me stay at home with the old folks
in that rountry.
We ciossed the river in a heavy rain storm
which drenched nearly the entire party, aud
after stopping long enough on the opposite
bank to take in a “counter irritant,” we
pressed on for “Cook’s Hammock,”whert* we
intended to spend the night, within five
miles of that spot an accident happened to
oue of our wagons which delayed us a little,
but at the same time afforded the party some
amusement. Juat In front ot a house by
the roadside the front wagon had ruu over a
log across the road, and to warn those that
were some distance behind, the leading par
ty bad stopped, and with torches were await
ing our approach. As the party united the log
as removed and we i* ere again start jug when
ie front axle of the rear waaon broke off
short and prool pita tod the entire load to the
grout d. Upon this wagou the three little
boys were sleeping, and in the fall Charlie
C. was throwu against the cask of ice and
hi* face was badly bruised, but he bore it
bravely and soon recovered. The fun was
aused by the teamster, a man bv the
name of A », who was badly afflicted
hair lip, and on account of being
obliged to talk through his nose, it was al
most impossible to understand wtjat he said,
but upon this occasion auger seemed to
have given him the power of making him
self understood, and whilst sympathizing
ith him for the unfortunate accident, the
entire party were obliged to laugh at
his expressions, delivered In his own
peculiar way. “What’s the matter, Mr.
A——a?” asked P d, as he reached
the scene with the balance of the party.
Throwing his arms akimbo, whilst be gazed
upon the broken wagon and scattered con
tents, be exclaims : "This is a hell of a fix
* be in, oruf t.li<,rq)r,,r,Cqming. a$ this
leech did, by a circuitous route through
lie nose, its effect can better be imagined
Ilian described. We left the broken wagon
and contents where It was, and, proceeding
on our way, reached the “Cook’s Ham
mock" church, where we were to stay that
night. After unloading we dispatched a
wagon back for the contents of the broken
one, ana in s* fuv hours vro Ijzd everything
safe at camp. Starting a lire, bur efficient
■nanto, Gabe and Andrew, soon had us a
ikm] supper, which every one in the party
ijnnyt. after which " c spread our blanket- I
upoti the floor and benches in the church
anil proceeded to spend our find ni-'ht )r
the woods of Florida. Whilst we were ar
ranging to make ourselves comfortable in
the church the question was raised by some
one iu the party as to whether we were uot
desecrating the building by using it lu the
manner that we did, but as it was ruining
quite hard outside we all agreed that God's
house could be appropriately used to shelter
the body ffom the storms of this life, as
w ell as eulighteu the soul and prepare It for
the life to come. This opinion was unani
mous,and we all went quietly to bed and to
sleep.
At daylight next morning we secured the
services of a honied-horse wagon and pro
ceeded on our way for our final destination,
on the banks of the Steinhatchle. This we
reached at 1:30 p. m., aud we at once began
to put everything in order. Tents were put
up, flys stretched and the contents of the
wagons stored away. Whilst a portion of
the party were thus engaged, “Uncle Wil
liam’' had suddenly disappeared, and in a
half hour he reappeared with a fine string
of bream, perch and trout from the river,
which we had for dinner. After dinner we
wandered about the grounds and had an op
portunity of getting at our surroundings.
We were camped directly upon what is
called “Eight Mile Creek,” and within one
hundred and fifty yards from its junction
with the “Steinhatchle.” Within thirty
yards of our tents wa* a rocky basiu in the
creek, which we patronized morning ai *
evening, and as often as we came fatigui
and dusty from the hunt. We found oi
selves delightfully situated in a group of
oaks, and as the place had been used before
for similar purposes, we had nothing to do
but make ourselves comfortable. At night
a fire-hunt was proposed, and aa the party
were pretty well fogged out, there was no
opposition to Messrs. P d and C r,
when those two enthusiastic hunters vol
unteered to accompany—the former
“Uncle Bethel” and the latter to do the
shooting whilst “Uncle William” shined
the eyes. We’ll follow “Uncle Bethel,’
for his party had all the luck, although
C r did not lack for a shot, but on ac
count of distance did not get his meat.
Lightwood was gathered before dark, and
about S o'clock the hunters left camp to
gether, but going in different directions,
l^t's take our time,” says Uncle Bethel,
the deer are not feeding yet, because we
cau’tbearan owl stirring.” P—-d wondered
at the connection between the hoot of the
owl and the feeding of deer, but said noth
ing, and followed the old huuter in silence.
Reaching the bridge across the creek the
Ited and proposed to “wait for
the owls," which bis companion was glad
enough to do, as the load of lightwood and
the hatchet, besides his gun, which P d
was carrying, mode the stoppage a thing
“much to be desired." Pretty soon an qwl
in the swamp near at hand startled the
amateur hunter, and springing to his feet,
fs at his ”
palmettos, quite
Proceeding to camp, P d deposited the
animal, and hearing the dogs in full cry
across the river seized his gun and hastened
to join the slanders on the other side. Three
shots were heard in raplJ succession, and
the blowliigof horns soon brought the party
together. Two deer had been killed. Oue
by Mr. J. (J. W 1 and the other (his first)
by Mr. M s. “We’ll have (otnefun now,
boys,” F g remarked, aa the party pro
ceeded toward the spot where “Lucie
Bethel" and young M s (fere engaged in
skinning the deer he had just killed. “As
the oldest hunter in the party,” says Uncle
William, "1 claim the right of performing
this operation.” “No,” chimed in Uncle
Bethel, “I Was with him when he killed it,
and he says that be would rather have me
do it, besides I have had all the trouble of
skinning and fixing it up for the occasion.”
“All right,” replied "Uncle William,”
but if the crowd only knew what
was in store for them they would have
insisted u|>on the strict observance of the
rule among hunters, which would have giv
en the preference to “Uncle William,” the
oldest hunter of the party. But so M s
got bloodied, the crowd did not care much
who did it, and quietly allowed “Uncle
Bethel” to proceed with his arrangements.
We were all seated and lying in close prox
imity to the- deer, aod wheu "Uncle Bethel"
said, “Come here, ’AI,' and let me show
you where your shot went,” there was a
general closing In of the crowd to see the
thiug well (lone. M s quickly advanced
and, for a fellow aliout to undergo such «
trial, there was a peculiar look of triumph
upon his face, which we all attributed to the
pleasure he experienced at killing his first
deer ; but that smile was prompted by a dif
ferent feeling, as you shall soon see. Every
thing superfluous had bueu removed from
the deer, to carry it more easily to camp,
and as M s‘ bent down to look at
the shot huUa, “Uncle Bethel” opened
the carcass to give him a good look
at the inside. Thrusting both band.* in the
deer before any of us had time to catch his
object, M s scattered blood over the
crowd by the handful, and would have been
master of the situ uiott bad not “Uncle
Bethel” carelessly allowed "Tinny” to get
hold of lh<. inside trappings, aud with these
be brought M s a hall dozen raps over
the head, which placed him completely hnr*
•in combat. M n at the same time caught
him by the foot and, tripping him, was
about to shove his head Inside of the deer,
when “Uncle Bethel” came to bis rescue
and stopped the fight. Every one in the
crowd bqro Llooijy raarl^s or the conflict,
and it was hard to recognize the features
of M——s os ho stood before us. We hod
fun enough for this day, aud, proceeding to
camp, spent the rest of daylight in skinning
and cutting up our game. At night C r
and “Uncle William" started again on a
tire hunt, and from his experience of the
previous night C r took up the idea
that a rifle ball aimed directly at the
eyes was the thing to bring down deer with;
bis footing on the log and fell to the ground,
whilst W 1 had fired his first barrel and
missed. It looked as If the animal was
ruing to get away. P d sprang to his
Feet, and taking delUmrate aim snapped his
second barrel at the same Instant that
W 1 fired bis remaining charge, which
fortunately took effect, and after running
about eevcnty-Ilve yards, the deer fell death
That night M n and P J followed
Uncle Bethel on a pan hunt, whilst C m,
who bad not yet burned his powder, accom-
f ianled Uncle William. The latter had no
uek. but the larger party had a good night
of It, and we’ll hear their account of what
they saw and did. Starting from camp early
so as to get fat lightwood, the party built a
lire, and whilst ‘‘Uncle Bethel’' told Indian
and bear stories, they quietly waited for
dark to come and the owls to hoot. The
latter gave the signal and they started—
“Uncle Bethel" ahead, M n, who
was to shoot Aral, directly behind him, and
P d bringing up the rear with the bag of
lightwood and hatchet. After hunting for
about an hour a pair of eyes w ere shined,
and M n blazed away. “I think you got
that one,” says Unde B.. but after
searching unsuccessfully for a while
a tree was marked and the
party were about proceeding (P d
changing places with M n), when a hound
was heard coming toward us in full cry.
“ Confound that dog." says Uncle B., “ our
bunt is spoiled." “If’ he cornea near
enough 1 am going to give him a load of
shot, ’ savs M n. “ Don't you think he
may be chasing a deer?” put in P d.
"No!" answered Uncle B., “ he is on the
track of the one M n has just shot at
but, before he fired, nearer and nearer came
the dog, in full tougue, and, just as he
reached the little bay in which we were
standing, a magnificent doe swept by us,
witbiu ten yards. Not expecting anything
but the dog, they were, of course, unpre
pared for the deer, aud not until the animal
had passed and disappeared hi the gloom
did they realize the chance that they had
lost. P U fired as the deer and dog went
past him, but It was a snap shot, aud made
without the opportunity for aim, aud, it is
supposed, was perfectly harmless. The dog
(which belonged to a man living about two
miles from the camp—-the same at whose
house M s had stayed when lost i at once
took up the trail of the wuunded deer
M n had shot, aud ran it out of hearing.
About half an hour later, P—<1 got a shot
at a tremendous old buck and -‘downed
him,” but did not get him until next
morning, wden be was found with a
part oi one hind quarter eaten off by
the same dog that M n had threatened
to shoot. This was the largest deer killed
on the trip. He had a fine head of horns,
which, being "in velvet," could noUw saved.
Soon after shooting this deer, and on the
way back home, the dog was heard coming
towards them with M n’s wounded one
under chase. He ran it into a large pond,
and from their position on the outside they
could distinctly hear the dog swimming and
the deer jumping, with a $ruk*-n Uy, in the
water. Gettting a good light in the pan,
Wa
good light in the pan,
they went iu. Waist deep was the water, and
occasionally an alligator hole would be
struck which would have carried them out
of sight; but, proceeding cautiously, they
ru&naged to keep out of these, and finaily
got within fifteen steps of wh r * the deer
was, but owing to the miek shrubbery they
were unable tS sec It. If au artist could
have sketched the party os they stood at
tliis point, with all their surroundings,:
had wandered off in the direction that the
sound was heard from on the previous
night, gave a loud yeU. “Here's your deer,
Mac, and a fine buck he Is.” Every one
came up on the run, and there, In the
palmettos, lay a fine three year at, com
pletely riddled with buckshot. I can’t
describe M n’s looks upou beholding
this fresh evidence of his skill. It was the
biggest game that had been killed, for the
animal had swelled during the night to
twice its original proportions, and while
the laugh was going around M n
was silently bending over and find
ing his shot holes. Nearly every shot
had struck. We let the ox lie where he fell,
took a memorandum of the marks, and
finding out the owner, sent him fifteen dol
lars, which was five dollars more than the
animal was worth In that county, but M u
said he wanted him to feel that we did not
come to go cattle hunting, and the price
would prove that the shooting was acel
dental.
We returned to camp and commenced to
make preparations for the return trip. Be
fore striking tents, the party were all called
together, and C r asked " Uncle Bethel ”
and “ Uncle William " to tell all the secrets
of the hunt which had been confided to
them by different members of the party.
Each hud something to tell which the party-
had never heard before. How this one had
got the credit for killing a deer when be had
missed it entirely, or never shot at it at all,
and but for the difference in the sis** of the
shot,no one would have knowu better. After
this we began to sum up the quantity and va
riety of game which had been killed and
found that we had brought to camp IN
deer, 2 wrild turkeys, 1 wild cat. 10 rac
coons, 1 ’possum, 10 alligators, 1 rabbit, and
:U alligator eggs.
The best shooting was done by little Hugh
C r, who brougnt down four raccoon*
with two barrels. He missed with the first,
or rather expended that to get the range,
as the riflemen would say, and with the
next shot he “rained" down four.
At one o’clock we broke camp and started
for Live Oak, which we reached at G:30 p.
m. the next afternoon, and at 8.-40 the next
(Sunday) morning the party were safe in
Savannah after an absence of just two
weeks in a country which for quant iti and
variety of game surpassed any that 1 had
before visited. The climate, too, was fine,
aud at night we slept under blankets aud
sat conifotRably around a large canju fire.
Every one had his full share of enjoyment,
and we returned to our homes with minds
made up to again visit the Steinhatchle and
roam along its beautiful banks with those
old veteran hunter# who upon this occasiou
contributed so much to our pleasure and
comfort.

Some time during Wednesday nigh* or
early Thursday morning, the store of Mrs.

A Long Voyage In a Small Craft.
A few erenlugs since a party of fovaunah
gentlemen, aiming whom was a well known
city official, in returning from a pleasure
cruise, encountered off Tybee a yacht
schooner, containing two men, w ho hailed
them and made some inquiry in regard to
their course. They stated they wore from
Cleveland, Ohio, and were on their way
to the Eastern lakes. Only a few words
were interchanged, aud the yachts
parted, the strangers moving off in a
northeasterly direction. The gentlemen
on reaching the city mentioned the
circumstance of two men making such a
journey as rather singular. The mystery
concerning them, however, is explained by

ceeded to follow Uncle B., who had risen
from the log, and shouldering h|s pan of*
fire, was moving along the edge of the
swamp. Not a word was spoken for over
half an hour, when, by the light of the pan,
P. saw a small animal winding its way
through the grass aboat ten yards to
their left. " What's that to your left,
Uncle Bethel?" Turning the light fuli
upon it, the old man exclaimed: “Hold on !
that's a pole cat. If you get afoul of that
fellow the boys won’t let us into camp to
night,” and as the little animal neared us,
the old hunter proceeded to make a retro
grade movement until he lost sight of It.
Takiog a different course, in a few moments
they came upon one qf the numerous bays
which run parallel to the swamp along
which they were bunting, and suddeuly the
old mau stopped, P -d, about three
yards behind nim. his head bent to the
ground, and trudglug along with the load
of lightwood, did do 1 notice qntil too lato

ten yards he walked and stopped, and P d
noiselessly gliding under his arm, stood di
rectly in front of him. “There's a big fel
low lying down,” says Unde B.. “but wait
a moment until I put on a piece of light
wood." As the light blazed up, about siyt*
yards off P d saw X pair of eyes on tbl
ground, and by direction of “Uncle B.” pro
cceded to take aim about eightecu inches
under the eyes. At the crack of the gffh
tRe eves disappeared, and not bearing any
sound, P—.4 supposed that he bad killed
the deer, but the old man knew differently,
and quietly said, “You overshot him; load
up quick. About a quarter of a mile fur

goes !” “Here he goes !” w hich, of course,
had the effect of turning the deer into the
swamp and no one got a shot. The dogs,
of course, followed, aud for the next tw
hours we were without any hunting. 1.
was during thfs dull period that young
M s, w ho had become quite tired and
warm, left bis staud and attempted to regain
the camp. When the “huutcr's call" was
blown and we all begau to assemble at
the appointed rendezvous, 51 s did not
make his appearance, and after waiting a
short while we supposed that he had taken
a different route to camp, and wc all started
in the same direction. We found that he
had not arrived, and after waiting about four
hours for hlui to “turn up” the entire party
began to get alarmed, and boms were blown
and guns shot off in hopes of drawing some
response from him, but none came, and a
party, consisting of M n, P——-d and
“Uncle Bethel,” started out to search for
him. It was wonderful to notice the man
ner in which that old hunter tracked him
through the woods. We first started to go
to his stand, but when near it his track was
discovered in a wet place in the road, and
for over two miles the party followed it
until a house was reached, and there the
young gentleman was found. Perfectly “a
home” he had made himself, in the absenc
of all of the occupaut* on a picnic at or nea
Dead man's Bay, and I really believe that In
regretted being obliged to return to camp
just at that time. He bad goue in the house,
w hich was found open, and whilst in search
of something to eat had stumbled on the
milk pantry, and it is uuuecessary to de
scribe how effectually he went through It.
Wheu fouud he had a bucket going towards
the cow-pen Ho get some fresh milk. Of
course there was great joy in camp when we
brought the lost one in.
Next morning M s had another mis
hap, which caused us some merriment. We
were crossing the river on a tree which had
been cut and thrown across, and when about
the middle of the stream, those who
were In advance heard a splash, and upon
looking round found thatM s had fallen.
gun and all, In the river. We fished him
out and sent him back to camp, where he
stayed for the rest of the day, but when
night came be was ready for a fire hunt,
and finally induced “Tinny” to take him
out. Whilst M s was cutting up the
was cutting up the
llghtwoqd there was a nice little conspiracy
being worked up against him. We soon
corrupted “Tinny” and brought him over
to our cause, and the thing was fixed.
Taking the head of a fine buck which
been killed that morning, we sent it „ ,
certain spot about a quarter of a mile from
camp am] set it up on a stump. It was then
arranged that “Tinny” should hunt M s
around for a while and then bring him up
on this deer head and make him shoot
t it. The scheme worked beautifully.
Tinny” sbined the eyes and M s. stand -
ing in front of the pan, poured flee lootl* of
buckshot into the stump. At the sixth
shot be knocked the head down, and, rush
ing forward, fully expected to find his game
dead before Mm, but “Tinny,” in follow
ing him, purposely fell down and put the
light out. So, when be reached the stump
he was obliged to fed about to find his deer.
Directly he struck the bead. “Here he i#,”
he shouted, as, seizing it by one ear be held
the head aloft. It would be Impossible for
me to describe M—- a looks and feelings
when that bead can* nf. Whether be really
thought that his shot had severed body and
head, or whether he realized at once the
oke that had been perpetrated upon him,
am not aide to say, but he had not long to
?udy over the matter for a loud shout and
laugh from “Tinny” soon brought him to
understand that a pretty heavy trick had
been played on him. That ended his hunt
for the night, and they returned at once to
camp, where their presence with the deer's
head wa* the signal for renewed laughter
The report of the gun* had “'en plainly
bwd,. and .ILnvV’ shout bad been
c< -^eu back by all of us, who were anxiously
waiting for tt.
Next day being rather warm we only took
a short drive across the river, when W 1
got a shot and killed his first deer on the
hunt, p d and himself were in the
drive, and after going through it, had
stopped cm an old dead pine log whilst the
•tenders were coming up. After consult*
tion it was determined to take another drive
just ahead, and the party bad just left to
take up new positions i P d and W 1
remaining to take the drive) when one of the
dogs jumped a fine yearling fcflick out of the
palmettos within ten stejis of where they
were sitting. P d, who was standing on
the log at the time, reached down and seized
his gun, bat just as he pulled trigger, lost,
engaged by other <(f lhe party
‘ “ an ” n agreed to “go it alone.”
. d, who was considered somewhat of a
woodsman, on account ot his suceoss in
finding his dead deer the morning after his
first fire hunt, was tocarry the pan and shine
the eyes, whilst the shooting was to be done
in turn. The pan was fixed and prepara
tions made iu the camp under a general Ore
of ridicule from the entire party. “Take
two days’ rations with you, boys,” said one.
“We’ll come in search of you soon after
daylight,” remarked another. “As soon as
you find that you are lost, stop where you
are and build a fire, and when day breaks
I’ll find you,” put in “Uncle Bethel.” Bets
were freely offered and taken that they
would not reach camp again that night, but
despite all opposition they started. Besides
the usual compliuncnt of guns, lightwood,
etc., each had a pocket compass, and before
they got through w ith the hunt the reader
can judge how well it served them. They
went out about an hour by sun, and after
getting their supply of lightwood sat quietly
down and waited for-dark to Conte.
"Before we start,” savs P., “let’s set fire
to this lightwood stump and it will serve as
a beacon if wc get lost.” “That’s a good
idea,’’.answered M n, and just before set
ting out a pile of lightwood logs were set
on fire, and by the light they took their
course. Skirting along the edge of a swamp
with their beacon blazing brightly behind
them, everything seemed to have begun all
right, and they laughed with themsidves at
the prospect of disappointing their friends
in camp. But this bright state of affairs
did not last long. They had been hunting
only about an hour or so when the heavens
became overcast and not a star was visible.
The beacon, too, had disappeared, and only
by the light of their pan did they now work
long. Stopping in a pond of clear water
> take a drink P -d suddenly saw, within
few feet, something that glitteAd like a
piece of gold, and ealledJM n’s attention
to it. “It’s a’gator,” says M n; "hold
on uutil I shoot him,” and at the report of
the gun Mr. ’Gator was seen and heard to
throw bis tail in the air, strike the water
aud then disappear. “That’s first blood,"
says P—d as they proceeded. It now be-
S m to look very threatening overhead and
e hunters agreed to start for camp. “Let’s
go around this swamp and we'll then head
for home,” said P d. It would have
been better for them if they had not at
tempted this, for before they knew it they
were in the heart of “Otter Creek ” swamp
and sloshing around in the mud and water,
which in some places was nearly waist
deep, hiding cypress knees, over which they
stumbled and fell. Up to this point the
compass had not beeu used, but it was now
necessary, and loading M « down with
the guns, lightwood and axe, P d took
the compass lu one hand and the fire pan in
the other and headed in an easterly course.
For over three hours they trudged along in
. _ _ sionall v to rest and
breathe. At one point, where high ground
was reached, M n wanted to stop and
camp, but P——*d would not hear to it, and
stoutly declared his ability to reach camp
that night. After a few moments rest and
talk they set out again, aud after fording
two branches uf the same creek, to "carry
-ut the course,” asP -dsaid, they reached
road. “Thank God I” said M n, “this
road leads somewhere and I don’t intend to
leave it again.” Consulting the compass so
as to determine what end of it to take, they
set out in a southerly direction, and after
going about a mile saw their beacon fire
shining through the trees and made for it.
From this point they supposed it “plain
sailing'’ ana did not even consult the com
pass. The consequence wtv; ;ha» they got
lost twice more before reaching camp.
Within a half mile of* home, walking
silently along, P——d suddeuly stopped
and whispered M n suddenly to 'the
front. There, within thirty steps, were
three pair of eyes. Two of the ani
mals stood together and could proba
bly have been killed with tRe same oarrel,
but about a yard to the right were a pair of
-ves which, by their size and the distance
icy showed above the others, showed that
they belonged to a large aulntol. “I am
going to shoot those two, ’ whispered
M n. “Oh, no,” replied P d, “take
that fellow on the right, he's bigger, and
don't be in a hurry; take good aim."
M n took his time aud his aim was fine,
for at the ermefi 0 f the gun the animal was
~eard to run about fifty yards am) then fall
iu some palmettos, where, after flounder
ing a few moments, all was still.* “You got
him, Mac. but it won't do to go out of this
path in search of him, for we’ll get lost
again. Let him remain until morning, and
we'll bring out the whole camp to see your
buck." They then proceeded to camp,
which they reached at one o’clock a. m.,
having been out just seven hours. Every
one was, of course, surprised, but very glad
to see them aud learn or their success.
At six o'clock next morning the entire
camp went out, hoys and all, to see the
deer M n had killed. P d piloted
them to the spot, and by the blazed tree
showed the exact place that the deer stood.
It was noticed that the dogs took no trail,
although they rambled considerably, and
the crowd began to think that a joke had
boon played on them, when P——d, who

Heroic Conduct of a Young Lady.
Yesterday morning about ten o’clock a
party of ladies from the city, on a visit to
Thunderbolt, concluded to take advantage
of the fine tide and indulge in the luxury
of a salt bath. They proceeded to the plat
form of the railroad company, at the lower
end of the bluff, beneath which are con
structed neat bath houses, but the water
looked so tempting that they determined to
venture outside the bouses. Among the par
ty were Mrs. Thomas and Miss Fennell, the
latter fortunately, fur after events, being a
tine swimmer.
i-Mr*. Thomas was unable to swim, but not
being aware that the water was over her
head jumped from the platform into the
river, and at once sank, and for a few sec
onds did not rise. Miss Fennell, perceiving
the danger of her friend, sprang into* the
water and dove for her, but was not success
ful in reaching her. A second time she
dove with better result, coming close
under the water to Mrs. Thomas,
who immediately grabbed her with
the tenacity of a drowning person,
thereby impeding her movements. Miss F.,
by hard effort succeeded, however, in bring
ing her nearly drowned friend to the sur
face, when, by assistance from those on shore,
both were drawn out in an exhausted con
dition. The escape of Mrs. Thomas from
drowning was really marvelous, and, from
what we hear, she would have beeu lost but
for the heroic conduct of the young lady
mentioned.

As a summer resort no more beautifully
located or pleasant place can be found any
where upon our Southern coast than this
historic old town. As a grand resort for
persons desiring to get away from the heat
aud dust of our city it cannot be excelled.
In the palmy days of the old Palmetto State
all the large planters and people from the
far interior congregated there duritur sum
mer to enjoy the splendid bathing and
delightful breeze.
The town now has about three ihouaand
inhabitants, some of the most hospitable
people in the world. The Savannah excur
sionists on Sunday last met one of the large
parties from Augusta who come down every
Sunday to enjoy the recreation of a day at
the seaside. We learn that arrangements
are being made by which parties can come
dowu to Beaufort Saturday evening, remain
over there Sunday, come by the City of
Bridgeton to Savannah and return to
Augusta the following do)*. This will
give our Augusta friends an oppor
tunity of visiting us and enjoying
a splendid sail on au elegant steamer for a
small figure. This will also afford an op
portunity to our citizens of meeting their
Augusta friends and spending a most pleas
ant day with them. The ever popular
steamer City of Bridgeton will repeat her
trip to this splendid resort on Sunday next,
leaving wharf foot of Drayton street at ten
o’clock, remaining in Beaufort two hours,
and returning at nine o'clock. A fin** din
ner can be had at the 8ca Island Motel for
seventy-five cents. Parties from the Interior
can come down by rail, arriving here in
time on Sunday morning to take the steamer.
