We were now approaching Lake Kissimmee, which we intended crossing on our way to the Saint John. Reaching a pine-island as those sandy elevations are called, rising out of the plain where we intended to camp, we saw the lake before us.
We had made but slow progress; for owing to those abominable saw-palmetto roots, we could seldom march more than two miles an hour. At length, darkness approaching, we were compelled to camp on a pine-island. It was the best spot we could select, as we could hold it, should we be attacked during the night, against any number of Indians.
