WHEN THE SUPPLIES 
GAVE OUT 
(continued from page 343 ) 
ant, brave chaps had grown suddenly old. 
He poled the boat from the slough, into 
a narrow stream, that was eight feet wide 
as it ran under the mangroves. Hope 
once more revived! His expectations 
would come true. It was a tributary of the 
Harney. There would be deep water—pure 
water, from this on. Only a few hours and 
they would be surrounded by bird rooke¬ 
ries—there would be nests brimming with 
eggs; and more “coon” than they could eat, 
and plump bream for steaming in leaves 
over a hot fire. Then Whitewater Bay— 
and the fishing boats! 
It was not easy to force the skiff through 
the interlaced roots of the mangrove. 
When he did get through, a glance ahead 
confirmed that first blood-chilling premo¬ 
nition. The little stream was a blind alley! 
Ten feet further on, there frowned a 
formidable barrier of mangroves—gnarled, 
twisted, snake-like, impenetrably dense 
mangroves, as the waterway seeped out 
amongst the roots and lost its identity. 
There was nothing to it but defeat! No 
boat could ever negotiate that swamp! No 
man or boy or Indian even would dare 
risk travel afoot. Fate had once more re¬ 
fused to fit the mosaic of the ’Glades. 
W E find this brief note in Mr. King’s 
diary, descriptive of his culminat¬ 
ing apprehension. 
“March 5th....Am really discouraged. 
Went as deep into the coast mangroves as 
I dared, hut knew at once that we could 
never break through with the boat. To try 
it on foot would mean almost certain death. 
Under no circumstances will I consider de¬ 
serting the skiff. It would be madness. Re¬ 
turned to noon camp on the shell mound. 
Found the boys had caught several gar¬ 
fish and were cooking them. Know this 
diet is unwise, but we must eat something. 
Last of supplies reached—nothing but a few 
ends of bacon, handful of grits and a little 
coffee. Shot wood ibis while coming back 
from mangrove fringe. Will save it for 
night. Mentally depressed. Greatly weak¬ 
ened physical condition (self). Told boys 
that it would be best to try some other 
point of mangroves and admitted that 
slough stream had ended in blind alley. 
Did not permit them to suspect the full 
truth. Too indisposed to think clearly. | 
We had gar for lunch. Disagreeable. 
Could not swallow tough, strong meat. Cut 
it into fine shreds and made a stew, mixing , 
in water and bay leaves. Still unpalatable J 
and far from hunger-satisfying. Catlow 1 
would eat little. John balked after first ! 
few mouthfuls. Made myself eat dish¬ 
ful. Boiled enough water for drinking pur¬ 
poses. Afraid of it-—had bad odor. Less j 
than five hours of daylight left and yet, if 
there were days of it, I would scarcely ■ 
know what course to pursue. Must sit j 
down quietly and TRY to think—to think 
in a constructive manner. Imagine boys 
suspect the truth. They fight against show- t 
ing it. Where will we camp tonight? 
What is to be our next effort. Never was J 
the balm of prayer so blessed—so indis¬ 
pensable—so comforting. We are in HIS ! 
hands 1”
