Every once in a while a new lot of come-ons show up, with their old charts and their nice new shovels, and go to digging. Why, I was shown a place just north of Little Gasparilla Cotton River, they call it where the banks have been dug up for miles by these simple-minded nuts.

"We are rather overburdened with prisoners, and I desire only to get rid of them," said the captain.
