boarding-houses. Cedar Key was a 
thriving town, the entrepot of the Gulf 
Coast. There were several cedar mills 
in operation, where the rafts of red cedar 
logs were converted into lead-pencil 
stocks and penholders. There was a rail- 
road connecting the town with Fernan- 
dina on the east coast, over which the 
pencil stocks were shipped to the north- 
ern factories to be filled with graphite. 
A T last, on the morning of the tenth 
day of May, 1882, I bade good-bye 
to the Rambler, the gallant little 
ship that had carried us safely around 
the peninsula of Florida, and stepping 
aboard a train on the Transit Railroad 
was soon, rattling over the keys to the 
mainland, leaving behind the broad bay, 
the white sails, the skimming gulls, and 
the mangroves. As we were whirled 
into the pine woods and hummocks I 
caught the last, the grand and glorious 
view of the boundless blue Gulf, sleeping 
and shimmering in the bright sunlight.

DWELLERS 
(continued from page 390) 
But Charlie had counted well. He had 
managed to steer her where the bank 
was steep. And I leaped out of the 
canoe, scrambled up the bank, just in 
time to head her off. Then for a few 
minutes began a struggle, humorous 
enough, but with its thrill none the less. 
The calf had vanished with a "baa” 
and a flourish of heels. The cow was 
straining with back legs in the lake, and 
front legs slipping on the mud, plowing 
up the bank in a valiant effort to get into 
the forest above. As I headed her off 
those mule ears went back and her teeth 
showed in a snarling grin. But she shied 
a wee bit and that gave the little touch 
needed. Waving the camera I “shooed” 
at her. But on she came. Without stop- 
ping to count results I picked out a place 
to jump in case she came on, and then 
reaching forth my free hand I pushed 
her by the soft snout right down the 
bank and into the lake again. 
Of course it needed not much of a push. 
She was sliding that way anyhow, but 
with a whoop and a push I sent her slith- 
ering down and into the water. Then 
Charlie picked me up in the canoe, and 
the chase began anew. 
But this time we had her, for the water 
was deeper for us and not deep enough 
for her. We came alongside, and took a 
whole roll of photos. We talked to her, 
we let her go easy through the mud and 
water, till at last with a farewell wave 
of the hand we watched her strike hard 
bottom, heave up in a huge shower of 
water, and disappear in the dense forest 
of firs that here grows down to the very 
edge of the lake. Then landing, we 
smoked a calumet of peace, picked up a 
huge bear trap Charlie had down there, 
and took the camp trail, to run right into 
a flock of grouse, and jump a couple of 
deer within fifty yards of the home camp 
door.
