THE INLAND PASSAGE. 21 



Port Royal, but it is not necessary. You steer nearly 

 west from the buoys off the mouth of Station Creek 

 to Bobee's Island at the mouth of Skull Creek. 

 There is an oyster rock in the middle of Skull Creek 

 where it makes its first bend to the southeast, and 

 this is the only danger before reaching Calibogue 

 Sound. In crossing Tybee roads, keep well out to 

 Red Buoy No. 2, whether you go directly south or 

 turn north to visit Savannah. If the latter, go by 

 the Light Beacon and to the westward of it, if the 

 former, take Lazaretto Creek into Tybee River and 

 Warsaw Sound. Keep well out by the buoys again 

 and head for Romerly Marsh Creek. 



If you have gone to Savannah, continue your jour- 

 ney by the way of Wilmington River to the same 

 place, unless your boat is small enough to pole easily, 

 in which case you can go through Skiddaway Nar- 

 rows. Romerly Marsh and Adams Creeks will bring 

 you into Vernon River, when you steer for Hell 

 Gate, between Little Don Island and Raccoon Key. 

 If you have come through Skiddaway and down the 

 Burnside and Vernon Rivers, you can go inside of 

 Little Don Island. Here you use chart No. 56 (or 

 156). Cross the Ogeechee River, and follow up the 

 west bank to Florida Passage, through it and Bear 

 River to St. Catharine's Sound, across it and up 

 Newport River to Johnson's Creek ; thence down 

 the South Newport to Sapelo Sound. 



There is good fishing in Barbour's River, just 

 above where the words *^ Barbour's Island" are on 

 the chart. Continue across Sapelo Sound and into
