THE GULF COAST OF FLORIDA. 241 



lars will pay the railroad and steamboat fare for the round 

 trip, including the run up the St. John's and Oclawaha rivers 

 and to St. Augustine. This includes steamboat fare from 

 Cedar Key to Manatee and return. Ten dollars per week 

 will cover all necessary expenses while on the lower coast, and 

 a much less sum perhaps five dollars a week will cover them 

 if a party of three or more go together, so that for a trip of 

 two months, including the time of going and coming, the 

 necessary expense for one person alone can be limited to 

 about one hundred and seventy-five dollars, and considerably 

 less where several go together.
