TRAVELS IK 
CHAP. IV. 
Early in the morning, we mounted our horfes, 
and in two days arrived in Savanna ; here we learned 
that the fuperintendant of Indian affairs had left the 
capital, and was on his way to Augufta. I re- 
mained but one day in Savanna, which was em- 
ployed in making up and forwarding the collections 
for Charlefton. 
The day following we fet off for Augufta, which 
is on Savanna river, at lead: an hundred and fifty 
miles by land from the capital, and about three 
hundred by water. We followed the courfe of the 
river, and arrived there after having had a profpe- 
rous journey, though a little incommoded by the 
heats of the feafon. 
As nothing very material occurred on the road, 
I mail proceed to give a fummary account of the 
observations I made concerning the foil, fituation, 
and natural productions of the country.
