22 THE IKLAXD PASSAGE. 



Mud Eiver ; take the middle of this to Xew Tea- 

 kettle Creek, which will bring you into Doboy 

 Sound. Keep to the north of Doboy town, which is 

 a prominent object on the flat meadows. Here chart 

 No. 57 (or 157) begins, and you go from Duboy 

 straight through Little Mud Eiyer and the same 

 course across Altamaha Sound ; then follow the 

 channel northwesterly into Buttermilk Sound ; 

 then either through Mackay's or Frederica Elvers, 

 as the wind best serves, into St. Simon's Sound. 

 Here the water is deeper and you can go directly 

 across from the black buoy No. 7 to the black buoy 

 at the mouth of Jekyls Creek. There are two 

 mouths to this creek. Take the easterly one and run 

 straight from the ranges on the point. Follow across 

 Jekyls and St. Andrew's Sounds up Cumberland 

 Eiver. At its head waters there are some islands ; 

 the channel is from a stake on shore to the west of 

 the eastermost island, then by ranges on the 2:>oint, 

 which carry you past a little island with ranges which 

 give you the course south. Use the lead here. 

 Thence down Cumberland Sound by Dungeness, for- 

 merly the property of Gen. Nathaniel Green, and 

 which is much visited by tourist parties, across the 

 St. Mary's Eiver and up the Amelia to Fernandina. 

 Here chart No. 58 (or 158) begins. From the 

 Amelia Eiver you go to Kingley's Creek past two 

 drawbridges. The railroad bridge is out of order 

 and will not open square with the bulkhead. Be 

 careful here, as several accidents have happened and 

 the tide runs strong. Continue across Nassau Sound
