In the rich black earth they discovered 
fresh tracks, much to Catlow’s further 
exuberation. Mr. King verified the fact 
that their Ridge friend was a good-sized 
cinnamon. He had been dragging some¬ 
thing, for the condition of the path made 
this quite uncontrovertible. 
The thickets compelled them to veer 
sharply to the left. In twenty minutes 
the tracks ended at a bog, where many 
magnolia, bay and willows, fallen into 
decay, formed a sort' of picturesque 
bridge over two feet of swampy water. 
A little island was at their further ex¬ 
tremity. It was completely detached from 
the main body of the coastal hammock. 
“He’s gone across the logs!” exclaimed 
Catlow, “if w'e can corner him on that 
island he’s ours without a struggle. This 
is really more than I expected!” 
As they clambered cautiously upon the 
rotting wood and vegetation, Mr. King 
was attracted by the action of the water 
ten feet out from both island and Ridge. 
It was “alive.” A perceptible flow caused 
the saw grass to wave back and forth, 
and the exquisite white and yellow lilies 
were never still for a moment. 
“First signs of the Shark River Cur¬ 
rent, boys!” Mr. King declared, “I rather 
think we will camp three or four miles 
farther on, in this section to-morrow.” 
The boys saw him frown, as he made a 
hasty notation in his note book. 
What had at first escaped their obser¬ 
vation was now quite appparent. To the 
left, the entire end of the small island 
had at one time been cleared. This was 
not of recent date, for new trees had 
started up from the thickets, and a re¬ 
markably beautiful fringing hedge, com¬ 
posed of low bays and myrtles, grass, 
vines and custard apple, now arranged 
itself into a wild but substantial stockade. 
Over its top they could see several 
gnarled old magnolias, hung with moss 
and, what was intensely more interesting 
and amazing, certain signs of civilization. 
“Seminoles!” gurgled King Jr. 
“An Indian Camp!” echoed Catlow. 
Mr. King said nothing. He appeared 
puzzled. For the time being at least, Mr. 
Cinnamon Bear was forgotten. 
C AUTIOUSLY now, the explorers ad¬ 
vanced. The boys used their ma¬ 
chetes on the fringe of young trees 
or slashed away at the weave of vines 
and grass. Occasionally, one or the 
other would stop long enough to disen¬ 
tangle himself from an enveloping maze 
of sticky leaves or barbed branches. 
Wild figs grew in profusion. The daz¬ 
zling colors of the blue flag were every¬ 
where in evidence. Underfoot, now, it 
was very dry, and the vegetation changed 
character as they proceeded. 
A magnolia clump, rich in blossoms, 
filled the tepid air with stifling perfume. 
Cocq plums and cabbage palms gushed 
up from wells of lush purplish grass. 
Here indeed, were the voyagers met by 
all the glory of the tropics. And in the 
centre of what had once been a clearing, 
Mr. King found an old Indian camp. 
Winds and rain and the passing of 
years had not managed to disintegrate a 
garment that fluttered from the dead 
branches of a magnolia—a pitiful little 
skirt of many Seminole hues, character¬ 
istic of the tribe. There it hung, like an 
insignia of the Wilderness people. A
