the smoke hugged the beach and sea. We 
slept on the sand near the fire and did 
not wake until daylight. The wind blow- 
ing still harder, I did the only feasible 
and possible thing to get the young men 
across safely. 
In the drift lodged among the man- 
grove roots we found a few water-soaked 
logs which we tied together with vines, 
constructing a rude raft, about three by 
seven feet, and a flat stick like a fence 
paling for a paddle. The raft sank a 
few inches below the surface with my 
weight, but by great care I managed to 
preserve my equilibrium, standing up- 
right, and found that it would sustain me. 
My object was to paddle across the inlet, 
some two or three hundred yards, procure 
the boat and return for the boys. 
I waited until the tide was at low slack 
water, and removing shoes and clothing, 
started, but I found it difficult navigation, 
requiring the utmost care to preserve my 
balance, and prevent the frail structure 
from turning turtle; but by dint of hard 
and careful, but extremely slow work I 
reached the middle of the inlet. The tide 
then began to make, and with it came 
hundreds of sharks, sawfish, rays and 
porpoises. I had not thought of them 
before, my only thought was to get the 
boys over the inlet. I now thought of 
Charley Moore and the Indian, as huge 
man-eating sharks swarmed about the 
raft, immense rays dived beneath it, while 
the harmless porpoises went rolling by 
thinking it great fun. The slightest 
touch of a shark’s tail would have cap- 
sized the raft and sent me floundering 
into the water, where I soon would have 
been divided piecemeal and distributed 
into the maws of a dozen sharks. I had 
not even a knife to defend mykelf, but 
it would have been useless. I struck at 
them with my paddle whenever they 
came too near, and thus kept them at a 
respectful distance. While using the 
stick in this way it cracked at the middle, 
when double caution was necessary in 
paddling and striking. Finally, after a 
half hour’s hard work I succeeded in get- 
ting across safely, when I bailed out the 
boat, in which was an oar, and sculled 
over after the boys. 
We reached Lake Worth without mis- 
hap. Mr. Moore renewed his liberal offer 
and waxed eloquent in his effort to induce 
me to locate at the lake. The following 
year I sent two young men from Ohio, 
on i a medical student, to buy the place of 
a man who wished to return to Illinois 
owing to his wife’s homesickness. They 
purchased the place for fifteen hundred 
dollars, and in fifteen years thereafter 
they sold half of it for fifty thousand 
dollars to a hotel company. 
We refitted the Blue Wing, and Frank 
and I sailed here to Jupiter, the other 
boys tramping the beach, and in due time 
we arrived at Titusville, where I sold 
the trusty little ship. We had a safe 
journey hack to Kentucky, where we ar- 
rived when the peach trees were in bloom. 
The boys were all now hale and hearty, 
having gained from ten to twenty pounds 
avoirdupois, the result of an outdoor life 
close to the heart of Mother Nature.
