TRAIL 
(continued from page 150) 
“Fishing is consequently fine there, for 
the waters from the ’Glades carry plenty 
of fish-food, seed and vegetable, matter, 
to say nothing of the schools of tiny min¬ 
nows. We will have a try at pompano, 
barracouda, mangrove snapper and tar¬ 
pon some fine day, if we visit the lower 
waters of Shark River.” 
O CCASIONALLY the travelers came 
out upon the bank, and could see 
the open water to the Westward, 
with its dotting of hammocks and clus¬ 
tered saw grass, and the more substantial 
property of the second tract. It was 
agreed that no more wonderful panorama 
had ever been spread before human eyes. 
The sunshine was of a peculiar, golden 
quality, and the air seemed so heavy that 
the countless number of insects, cease¬ 
lessly winging and droning on every 
hand, barely moved upon it, as though 
suspended lazily upon invisible webs. 
It was necessary to use the machetes 
now, for the undergrowth was impass¬ 
able. More than once, as the boys swung 
the heavy blades through masses of vines 
and leaves, a queer nest was spilled out 
at their feet, eggs going in every direc¬ 
tion. These eggs were of every conceiv¬ 
able color—brown, rich, beautiful blue, 
grey with delicate markings, and even 
yellowish amber. 
Once King Jr. disturbed a nest of 
snakes that was half-covered by broad 
leaves along shore. As he sprang back, 
their wriggling green bodies went scurry¬ 
ing in every direction—dozens of them, 
large and small. 
“I wouldn’t waste ammunition on 
them,” advised Mr. King, “they’re not 
worth it. Moccasins—three different 
1 kinds of them, but evidently on the best 
of terms. We are apt to see some big 
blue herons if we keep our eyes open. A 
(snap shot of one at close range, tucking 
;down a snake, would make some of my 
scientific friends in town envious for life.” 
Catlow’s shrill cry was heard ahead. 
Always investigative and a bit impatient, 
he had progressed further than the 
others. They had trudged for perhaps a 
mile and a half, and the coastal hammock 
was very wide at this point—so wide, in 
fact, that all glimpses of the waterways 
had long since disappeared. The dense 
foliage overhead shut off the sunshine, 
and they were pattering along through 
tight, green aisles of shadowy silence. 
“We’ll find him—we’ll find him!” Cat- 
. ow was bellowing, “I knew there was 
game!” 
He came back through the cleared trail, 
mis eyes dancing with excitement. 
“A tiger?” queried King Sr. 
i “Mr. Cinnnamon Bear!” corrected the 
• ad, “Ive run across his tracks again. 
There is a boggy stretch a little further 
pn, and it looks as if he had been made 
o leave his thumb prints by the authori¬ 
ties, just as they do with criminals. I’d 
ike steak for dinner. How about it, folks?” 
I T was not beyond credence that juicy 
bear steaks, cooked a la King, would 
top off a busy day most satisfactorily, 
-atlow was off in a jiffy, followed by his 
ager companions.
