in the heavy underbrush, and flounder¬ 
ing into unexpected pockets of soft sand. 
Back from the beach some three hun¬ 
dred feet, on the highest crest of that 
end of the key, and sheltered on all four 
sides by clumps of low trees or excep¬ 
tionally tall live oaks, we found a 
wonderful hunter’s or fisherman’s shack, 
of the lean-to variety. It’s top thatch of 
palmetto was scientifically done and 
nicely arranged to keep out all water. 
Two"posts, about twelve feet high, were 
driven into the soft, flaky soil and from 
these the roof poles, at least twice that 
length, ran down to anchors at the base 
of young saplings. There was not a nail 
anywhere, and I pointed out to Sonny- 
boy that vines, thongs and twisted 
lengths of palmetto were the sole fasten¬ 
ings. The palmettos and moss bunking 
completed an almost perfect night’s lodg¬ 
ing of its kind. 
Some wreckage, obviously picked up 
along the eastern shore, such as old 
crates, bits of firewood, etc., were vis¬ 
ible, and one water-soaked box had been 
nailed to a tree as a supply base, well up 
out of the way of reptiles, ground in¬ 
sects and such hammock denizens as 
wild cat, small red bears, raccoons and 
the like. The black ashes of a camp 
fire, directly in the face of the lean-to 
suggested, after study, that the place had 
not been occupied in quite a while.

On poles, and projecting from a peg 
on a shack cross-bar, there were three 
bleached, white skulls of—wild cattle 
giving the last dramatic touch to a ven 
mysterious camp. 
Mike had no explanation. He hac 
never known anyone to locate here, dur 
ing all his years in the vicinity. Hunter 
would scarcely look for worth-whib 
game at this end of the island. If tlr 
camp had drooped from the sky, the dis 
covery could not have produced greate 
amazement on Mike’s part. He wa 
frankly flabbergasted. 
Mumbling to himself, and blinking hi 
eyes behind his goggly spectacles, usual 
ly so dimmed with moisture and dii 
that they were virtually blinders, h 
built a fire over the dead embers, an 
brought our cooking utensils up froi 
the boat. Sonnyboy watched the cere 
mony of. cleaning the fish with silei 
admiration. 
This was ail new to him. An une? 
plored world, swung and circled aroun 
him, in the magic atmosphere; a wor 
of dim mangrove trails, shadowy cavcri 
between lanes of live and scrub oa 
the habitation fashioned from what w; 
to be found there and there only, and r 
termittant port-holes through sway® 
green bows, framing sea and sky ai 
diamond -bright beach. 
“Father,” he whispered. to me, k 
Mike overhear him, “I—I just cant b 
lieve I’m HERE and that its all tru 
Are you . . . are you VERY sure I 
not bothering you . . . in- the way? 
“Son,” I responded, “I’d rather ha 
you along than anybody in the wor 
You know, from now on, we will alwa 
go on these trips together, and 
NEED you . . . your strong, vou 
arms.”
