A slave-dealer appeared amongst the Creeks and offered to pay one hundred dollars for every Floridian exile they would seize and deliver to him, he taking the risk of the title. Two hundred armed Creek warriors made a foray into the colony and seized all they could secure.
In the evening the band played again, reinforced by the Floridian, who played the cornet. He told me confidentially that he was not in the habit of playing with "niggers," but he was willing to do anything to contribute to the pleasure of the party. I thought it was very condescending in him. After three days at St. Augustine we sailed for Jacksonville.
Heidegger, "which Ponce De Leon, the Spanish adventurer, went in search of two or three centuries ago?" "But did Ponce De Leon ever find it?" said the Widow Wycherly. "No," answered Dr. Heidegger, "for he never sought it in the right place. The famous Fountain of Youth, if I am rightly informed, is situated in the southern part of the Floridian peninsula, not far from Lake Macaco.
The Floridian chief, with great frankness, gave De Soto information respecting the extent, population and resources of his domain. He informed him that the province of Cofachiqui, of which he was in search, could only be reached by a journey of seven days, through a dreary wilderness.
You have only two to carry, and an alligator may bite off one of them," shouted Owen, who it seemed had been listening to me, instead of giving attention to Miss Edith's charms, about which she was talking. "Give heed to my charms, Mr. Garningham!" said Miss Edith. "That's just what I have done since I first saw you!" exclaimed Owen. I promised to consult the Floridian, and took my leave.
I saw his flaming throat, and the next instant he was gone, like a flash of light, the first hummer of the year. I was far from home, and expectant of new things. That, I dare say, was the reason why I took the sound at first for the boom of a bumble-bee; some strange Floridian bee, with a deeper and more melodious bass than any Northern insect is master of.
Cornwood; and I have no doubt my readers would be equally interested, if I had pages enough at my disposal to include them. The Floridian did his duty modestly, though he had become the most important person of the party for the time being. There was not a particle of the "brag" and pretension which had caused me to distrust everything he said.
When I had concluded the recitation of the poem which closes the preceding chapter, a fine-looking gentleman sitting near us arose, and lifting his hat very gracefully, said: "Pardon me. As a native Floridian, I have much enjoyed hearing you repeat that poem relating to my State." This led to a pleasant conversation, during which he introduced us to his wife as being one of the aborigines.
"Yes, captain: I claim to be a gentleman," he continued, when I showed no inclination to ask any questions. "I belong to the legal profession, though I don't work at it now." "I am sure we don't need any law on board of this vessel at the present time," I added. "I do not offer my services in that capacity. I am a native Floridian, a regular corn-cracker," he continued, laughing.
"Perhaps not, for I intend to replace her with the Bronx." The commander was amazed at the impudence of the intruder. Christy looked at his cool and impudent visitor, whose declaration was to the effect that he intended to take possession of the Bronx in compensation for the loss of the Floridian.
