Agreeably to pi now try to gi notes of a “Reachii expedition” into the Grtat Okefend&e Swamp. On Friday, Oct. 7t'i, your cor respondent left Folkston in company with Rev. N. F. Rob inson, with whom I passed a very pleasant evening, and en-. joyed bis hospitality until the next morning, when ho kindly took mo in his buggy to tho res idence of Joseph Mizell, Esq., the acknowledged chief and leader of the expedition, with whom I was right royally enter tained until the following Mon day morning. Meanwhile, we, in company with onr chief in spected his fine plantation. We found among other attractions an apiary with • spVenty-five gums, a tomato stalk twelve feet, five inches in height. Wo passed Satuday evening in as sisting our young friend, John nie, in constructing a windmill and listening to some fine mu sic 011 the violin by R.A. Cbesli- er and W. L. Rogers., and in iuspecting a wonderful fish caught by Wm. Marshall of Baltimore. We here wish to acknowledge our appreciation of the kind ministration of the ladies of the family in allaying the - fever--whibhAittaeked -u» Sunday morning, failing which, we should have been uuable to accoinpauy the expedition. Promptly at 8 o’clock a. m. there assembled at Wampee Point, on the farm of D. C. Chase, Jr. for roll call, tho following parties: Jrsiah Mizell, Chief; N, F. Rob inson, Parson; Dr. Mizell, Jim Dinkins, Steward; D. C. Chase, Jr., J. W. Jones and R. A. Chcslier, Scientist.. Our outfit of guns, ammunition and pro visions weighing about 103 bis per man, >vas shouldered, and the line of march, promptly ta ken. We had advanced about five hundred yards when our hair was raised ky a scream of terror, from the Steward, who was fast disappearing in the mud, when a vigorous grip of our Parson on the fast disap pearing shirt- collar, soon brought bim on earth again. We now proceeded, gaining spir its aud confidence nt every step, uoua more jubilant than the Pursou, Suddenly a loud gpiush, and smothered, cry from the Parson for help, demited that he, too, was .floundering in the mud, and but for the timely assistance of ’the ' Doctor, we don’t know how far he would have cone. Order again re stored, we soon reached our boats; depositing our baggage in them, we got on board and Went across Fish lake to the shado- way hay,thence through bog and bramble to Cedar hanrraook, a portage half a mile brought us to “ Panther gap;” where we re freshed. We then took boat again and went up Air Lint, prairie some fire miles to an is land, and went into camp. Oar steward, with Chase, tho runt of the party, were sent for a boat load of wood. When re turning, a sharp cry of pain,and sadden jump to one side bv the Steward capsized the boat, spilling the load, the Runt and himself into the water. They soon rescued themselves and the: accident was from the \ bite of what onr Chief coolly in formed ns was a watef chinch. The Runt thinks it was the. fa ther. of nil bedbugs. After sapper onr party gathered around the camp fire and our chief recommended religious services, aud 'gave out that grand old hymn “Come thou fount of every blessing,” which was finely rendered, the singiug was- followed, by prayer from the Farsom and an exorta- tion by the Doctor. We then named our camp Experience; and retired for the night. Tues day, Oct. 11th , the Doctor find R. A. Chcslier were sent out on a scout, and after a three hours tramp they oame to a narrow river of swift rnnuing wfitcr where they were attacked by a pack of savage dogs. They beat a retreat, but in the wrong direction; traveling some five or six miles they came upon an island about one mile wide and two miles long. Wl(ile making their way through tho thick underbrush with which tiie island is erworod, they were stai tied by the crashing of the bushes by some panthers or some other wild beast which they could not see: They quickly dis h irged their gun* into the bushes and left. Sam Chesher, who was in the tear gave an alarm, and on turning aronnd, the Doctor saw him inking in the bog, advised him to burry up or the thing would catch bim, but did not did stop to see if he he had taken the advice so kindly .given, ..Chesh er -extricated himself however; soon caught up, und both came into camp together. Meanhile, the chief had seulJuhns and the Runt who had his spurs alone, to a tall tree miles uway, to prospect for Floyd’s island. They soon reached the tree and the Runt adjusting Ins spurs soon commenced the ascent. After reaching the dizzy height of one hundred and fifty feet he stopped for a survey of the scenery aronnd him. After half an hours inspection he oame down, and although he has traveled much he believes that such another magnificent scene canuot be found on the whole American continent Out stretched before him and as far as tho eye could reach on either side was ouo vast level plain, white with the blossoms of the water-lily (Nymphos* Odorata) interspersed with the foliage of the plant, spots of low green shrubbery, moss and minatare lakes of clear sparkling water, while in the distance were seen the outlines of what be judged to be the island of which they were in Bearcli. Soon after commencing their return to camp, Johns leading off,walking in water about knee deep, he stepped on the bead of a huge gator lying on the bottom. With a cry .of horror he leaped backwards as if thrown from a calapault, striking the Rant plainp in the bread basket, causing them both to roll over in tho mud, from which they made all haste to scramble and made as long strides as the Runt’s short legs were capable for camp, and to this hour he ounuot tell whether the gator bad swallowed Johns or wheth er John had chawed the gator, whether he had ebawad them both. They reached camp, how ever, in time to partake of a fine sapper of fish caught' by the Chief and the Parson daring their absence- Wo then struck camp, moved four miles and went into camp for the night. After the camp fires were built, we rehearsed the ad yen' tures of the day, but being very tired some were soon do zing until our. steward who is a very reliable man, announced the sudden disappearance of a couple of reptiles witnessed by him during the day. He says, "they seized each other by the tail, and after a brief strug gle, began to swallow each other. Soon they gave a big swallow low, and he saw no more of them.” The narrative' caused such uproarious laughter that the owls perched in the tree tops mockingly retaliated and onr camp was named “Owl- laugh.” Our Chief then called for service, and gave out “Free Waters,” which was sang by the party, followed by prayer by the Parson, when we all retired. Wednesday, Oct, 12th we broke camp for tho island mentioned above. Four miles away we came to a place-which we named “Tigier Set Bay.” We had goneiuto the bay about one hundred yards when Jones, who was in the lead, suddenly stepped upon a floating battery and went down ohin deep. The whole party laughingly rushed to the rescue, when instantly tho whole party found them selves in the same predicament as Johns. While in-this posi tion, our chief espied a tiger sitting in the top or a tree aboiit two hundred yards away, hence the name. The little Runt did not reach down to the bottom where the mud was stiff,. -and was tiie first to extricate himself and render timely assistance in pulling the others out with i tho exception of our Chief, who being a very lengthy mau, with: large understanding could not- be so easily rescued, aud we soon found mechanical means would have to be resorted to, and levers and handstickswere brought into requisition and af- tertwo hoars be was safely lan ded on firm fooling, and we soon after reached “Deep Water Pra- rie” which we soon crossed. An exolamation from the Steward called onr attention to the fact that he had lost his rations and was diving for his Grits. Soon on the way again, we reached the island of onr search and at 12 a. m. we laid out onr camp and called it “Rag Camp” to commemorate the Parson’s condition after his tnssle with the brambles; be having lost his Breechaloons, all but the waistbands and a few strings: After taking a casual, survey of the island, we went into camp . for the -night. After prayer by the Parson, we soon laid down and slept soundly until daylight. Thursday Oct. 13th we arose eorley and par took ’of a breakfast of broiled duck, shot daring the day before, and some fine frit ters. . cooked by the Runt .who lost most of his whiskers and mustache by fire daring the oper ation, after which all hands went on a grand hunt with the. dogs. Chesher was sent to drive the thicket, while tho rest of (he party were on stations. A'-, cry .-from- Chesher brought onr chief‘to the rescue, who found that * big gator had mado.a rush for one of our does', and Chesher iiad mr.de a rush for the tator,- The dog es caped, and Chesher got stuck in the mud. The gator foiling, in the dog business, ttirned his attention to fhe mud-impris«ned gentleman, who but for the prompt, action , of onr Chief, trbnld soon hare, made stuffing for the gator. He hoiycv- er returned to his drive, and m a short time three fine deer'.Here driven on the Doctor’s stand who promptly brought, them down. After satisfying our appetites from ance was put up to dry to bring home. Johns and thoStevrard cut abee tree in the evening. Tt was filled solid for ten fqet. At sunset four miles away the Parson and' Chesher killed a Urg ■ dur an l ia bringing it in got lost in acanebrake and when they emeaged from it were closely pursued by atiger. The Par son shouldered the deerandcheser brought np the rear with the guns. They arrived at camp in rather a demoralized condition; Cheser’s hair was trying to'push offhishat, and the Parson had tost another pair of breeches. Wjuiq. supper was being prepared tbcYigei made a raid on camp, and the dogs- in their dash upon him upset' the steward pottage. The ’Parson’s and Doctor's exclamation will long be remembered. The supper soon over, Runt followed by the Steward, the Parson bringing up the rear, started for wood for the night. Tho Cheif getting unc; started with n torch to find them and as ho camo up, saw the bright eyes of the tiger about ten feet up atree smilingly contemplating the rounded propotionl of the Runt some twenty ; fcet away; with a yell that oohoed in the distance, he sent the varmint up tho tree,and the Runt* hair lesumedits wonted position. They soon returned to camp, and after services by the Parson we soon wero sleeping bat were soon awoke by a scream of the tiger who rushed into camp, took a quarter 6f deer and dis appeared in the darkness. Tired natnro's sweet r st r d settled camly upon ns once more, and Friday’s rising sun brought ns upon' our teet again. Breakfast over; we packed up and. started for home, but were soon brought to a halt by John's cry of“snako.’* It proved however to ba only the--discarded overcoat of a rattier fire feet tong amt five- inches iu:diameter, 5 -we then pro- ceded io Owllaugh where' th» - Parson caught a trout weighing’ ten lbs, and thc Dr. one weighing twenty five. joints anl Chest? brought in a jut of fine .ducks. After supper and prayer ail so- tired bat the Rant who was left to attend the fire; be too soon slept and the Parson during • visatation of a nocturnal eqfiino of tho feminine, gender, arose and piled a lot-of wood on the fire, a bleed curdling screech Rom Chesor, whose feet were burning, hrqught everybody and their hair upend. Our cheif however, soon beat opt tho fire, ‘and order was olice more restored.' Saturday morning sail was hoisted' on our boats and “for borne," were tho wel come wonfi uttered by onr chief. Nothing more worthy of mention bat the running out of their boat theSteward and Dr. byan enraged aligator that tlicyV liad wonnded He was twenty , feet in length. They had a hard fight, but killed bim at. last. On arriving at tho landing were met by Bob Mizell and little Henry, who, during our absence, had cut foot logs for our accommodation through Wampee Bay a distance of half a mile. Onpe on tarra firraa we found Rob’s cart in readness, into which our baggage iyas put, and with three hearty cheers for onr wait ing friends, and a hvmn of praise for; onr success, We took ’our line of march’ for the home of -»; opr - Cheife mother,’ the sprightly old * lady upon whose head' four scon years set lightly, oame running across the yard to yrclcome ua hoine. Here the Runt . got a compliment from the young lady of tho.^oasc; “Tho worst looking man -she had ever seen.” At the homc of our Cheif m were heartily, received, a sumptuous IcaSt was'provided, to which' jus tice Waa’&ne.
