J Boat Cruises At Silver Spri Fl prings, I'la. (Editor’s Note: This is the last in a series of articles written by George Abney, Jr., Banner- Herald Assistant City Editor, while vacationing in Florida last week.) By GEORGE ABNEY, JR. OCALA, Fla.—At Silver Springs, located near Ocala, fish and under water beauty spots can be viewed from glass bottom boats. Also of interest to visitors are the photo-subs where people view fish and other scenes from port holes while riding underwater themselves. Another one of the thrilling trips here is the jungle cruise where monkeys eat out of guides’ hands. ; Silver Springs is a subterranean river springing from the earth through a vast cavern at its mouth and lying 30 feet below the sur face of the circular basin forming the head of the springs and source of Silver River, In the glass bottom boats such sights as the bridal chamber, dev il's kitchen, decorated Christmas trees, the sunken gardens, fisher man’s paradise, a fish football game, and many others will be seen. After riding in the glass bottom boais you iake & irip in the photo sub and get a chance to take pic tures from under the surface while peering through a porthole glass. The jungle ecruise, which car ries 'you down the river, is cli maxed by seeing the monkeys come almost into the boats while standing on limbs and taking food from the hands es the guide. On the ride into the jungle such wildlife as alligators, lizards, birds, waer turkeys, snd others will be seen along with seenic flowers and other sights along the banks. * Former Athenian .
