two outsiders might be invited to par- 
take of it; the limit was placed at six 
because the table equipment on the scow 
sufficed to serve only that number, and 
six hungry men can work fearful havoc 
on the carcass of a nine or ten pound 
turkey; after the turkey had been eaten 
and pipes were functioning properly the 
conversation would naturally turn upon 
the excellence of the food just eaten; 
the consensus of opinion would always 
be to the effect that a young wild Tom 
turkey, filled with a stuffing of bread- 
crumbs and oysters seasoned with pepper 
and salt and a pinch of savory herbs, 
baked a glistening golden brown, giving 
off tiny bursts of a most fragrant, tan- 
talizingly appetizing steam, served with 
a dish of creamy mashed white potatoes 
and rich brown liver gravy, made in the 
pan the turkey was baked in, was food 
of such exalted character that the whole 
vocabulary of the English language did 
not contain the proper words with which 
to truthfully describe its deliciousness. 
The succession of fruits insured a 
constant supply and a pleasing variety: 
oranges, grape-fruit, pineapples, ban- 
anas, strawberries, melons, delicious 
paw-paws, sugar plums and luscious 
huckleberries; and a baked huckleberry 
pudding eaten hot, with lots of rum- 
flavored hard sauce, is a luxury in any 
climate. 
These delicacies were obtained with- 
out direct money cost, but most certainly 
required the expenditure of time, con- 
siderable labor and a lot of “know how” ; 
the two former would have proved use- 
less without the last and the cook had 
that and used his “savvy” for the benefit 
of all. 
T HESE gastronomic delights and 
others as well, for the story of the 
one-half thereof has not been told, are 
not for the fashionable at the great 
hotels, nor yet for the tourist trippers; 
even the automobile campers have but a 
slight inkling of the potential pleasures 
associated with moving at will along 
fascinating waterways enjoying a free- 
dom never experienced before : some- 
times on great rivers and again on 
streams where passage was barely pos- 
sible; lazy sunny days followed by quiet 
starry nights; the feeling of wanderlust 
grows strong and there is created a de- 
termination to again return to the beauty 
and solitude of the out of the line of 
travel places and to the cheer and crea- 
ture comforts of the floating democratic 
house-boat home.

me, by sitting in the stern, to control 
both boat and fish to a great extent. 
When hauling the boat up to the fish I 
coil the recovered line in a box or tube 
at my feet, and this extra line has often 
come in very handy when the shark made 
a sudden shift in his course, and it be- 
came expedient to give some slack to 
ease the strain on the skiff. I always 
keep a large knife close at hand, in case 
it becomes necessary to cut the fish loose,

First Log Cabin Camps for Florida’s Fine Fishing Grounds 
No State can boast of more or finer lakes and rivers not to mention the coastal area 
being that of the Atlantic States and it is the tourist’s Mecca. Until recently the 
camp idea had been overlooked in Florida. Florida’s fine paved highways today 
place our various camp sites within easy reach of the principal cities. We have 
incorporated to help protect the game and fish of this State and to build log cabin 
camps, furnished with all comforts such as are found in the finest Maine woods camps 
Our first camp is now well under way, being situated in the heart of Florida near 
Orlando on the east shore of Lake Apopka, .in the Buxton Woods property which is a 
natural palm and magnolia forest surrounded by fragrant orange groves. Lake Apopka 
is Florida’s second and the third largest lake within the United States and is the head- 
water of a 300-mile navigable chain of lakes and rivers ; here we challenge the world 
on black bass. With game in abundance in the nearby woods and great duck and snipe 
shooting on the lake this camp site is truly a fisherman’s winter paradise. 
We invite you to spend this winter with us. Those who are interested in our 
proposition, get in touch with us at once, as we are offering a limited membership in 
the financing of this project, which carries unusual privileges while stopping at our 
camp, and is a profitable investment. Address
