WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEB. 1, 1876.
'.' A Trip to Silver Spring.
Palatka, Fi.a., Jan. 24, 1876.
The Ocklawaka ia a river rising in
Lake Griffin in (he central part of
Florida and flowinff a little East of
North enters St. Johns river Dearly
opposite the little village of Welaka,
twenty-five miles above Falatka.
From Falatka to Jacksonville is
seventy-five miles, and from Jackson
ville to the mouth of Ft. Johns river
J aJjout twenty-five miles. y," j
, In attempting to describe a trip
"up the Ocklawaha," we are aware
that our observations did not agree
with tho rose colored account publish
ed in Jlarper for January, and cau
only say that we will faithfully nar
rate it just as it appeared to us.
We left Falatka at noon Jan. 18th,
on the steamer "Okahumkee," a boat
of about sixty-five tons burden.
From Falatka to Welaka the St.
Johns river will average about one
half mile In width, and perhaps 30
feet in depth.
. Much of the way the shores are low
and swampy, but in places the banks
rise from five to fifteen feet above the
water, and are then quite dry, being
composed almost entirely of sand and
small shells.
These dry places are being cleared
off quite rapidly and a large portion
of them devoted to the planting of
orange tress.
'The orange fever Is now epidemic
;in Florida, and in many of its phases
.seems similar to the Oil fever of 1864.
The result -will I think be the same
a few (those who sell land) will make
money but by far the greater number
will suffer.
At 5 p. m. we reached Welaka, and
in a few minutes passed into the Ock
lawaha. This btd been described
both in print (a ia Harper) and tr
us personally as an enchanted region
one of the wonders of the world. .
1 'Twas said that the vegetation was
luxuriant and magnificent, beyond
description during the whole year
that masses of bloom might be seen at
any time that the moss-covered trees
growing on the banks of the river
,: locked their branches across the water
so that a person in a boat, gliding
-Along the crooked channel, could look
up and see serpents above and around
1 him, and could if. he desired gather
. centipedes, tarantulas and all kinds
-of tropical insects and reptiles from
tilia branches overhanging him. That
the forests were inhabited by myriads
' of bright colored birds, while - the
' waters teemed with alligators, turtle,
t fiiib, and water fowl.
-, : Alas J that we bad to be undeceived
laa1 that we should find the truth
so widely different.
ucxiawana means crooked river,
' and weil it deserves the name. Its
xrooka, wiudiugs, and curves are be'
yond description. It is generally
' very deep perhaps 20 or SO feet, and
will average about 50 feet in width.
-though in many places it is not more
than 35 or 40 feet wide.
: ,. -The boats designed for navigating
1 it, are constructed with especial refer
encfl to strength, and making abrupt
' 'turns, and go pounding along tutting
' first one shore and then Cite other, iu
apparently the most reckless maimer.
Occasionally points of dry land run
up to the zlsBt, and are timbered with
yellow fkt aud live oak, but most of
the way the forests along, shore are of
swamp cypress and palmetto, and in
stead of overhanging the stream, are
very tall and the nearest perpendicu
lar of any trea w ever saw.
Spanish moss hangs pendant from
every Jimb, and is very beautiful in
deed, but we looked up in vain for the
serpents and reptiles whose presenoe
was to diversify aoJ enliven the scene.
In the whole of the trip up and
. down the river we saw but one suake
a solitary individual serenely loca
te! on a log and apparently viewing
with great coinplaceucy its natural
mealies the descendants of Mother
JEve.
jiSj the way, who knows or who can
.-explain why it was that the serpent
x was selected the most fittiog touipt
. er for the fair mistress of the Garden
- "of Eden t Ladies now seem to have a
jjrea.t dread of snakes j cau it be that
ftbey are mistaken and really admire
, acd respect a beautiful serpent I
Of bright colored birds I saw two
Virginia crackers and three or four
king -fishers. One of the passengers
saw an alligator I looked just in time
to be too late and saw only the log be
had been laying on. '
Of turtles we saw in all, perhaps 20
or 30 they were in appearance simi
lar to the turtle in our northern rivers.
Turkey buzzards, limpkius, a couple
of gray squirrels, and a few duck,
white beron, blue heron and curlews
made up the list of animated nature
of which so much has been written.
Neither did the woods or swamps show
signs or bear evidence of having at
any time any greater luxuriance of
vegetation than our woods aud wilds
at home. .' ' , . ' , , .""
The climate is warm and the air is
juoist, but the soil is very poor, and
tt seems as - though what vegetation
gains in the climate acd moisture it
loses for want of a richer soil.
We gathered some yellow jessamine
very fragrant indeed, and saw a
few insignificant blossoms on vines
that were inaccessible to us. Wo pre-
Leurae at a different season of the year
the bloom would be much greater, but
these were the only flowers we saw in
this much-praised ever-blooming Flor
ida, during the trip we are describing.
When it became dart the the boat
men made a fire on top of the deck
which reminded me of the head-light
of an engine, as it fully illuminated
the narrow channel.
The light falling on the tall moss-
covered trees bad a strange and wierd
effect. ' It reminded me of some of
Uawtborue's writings, and made me
wish that he had taken a trip up the
Ocklawahu and described it in his
marvellous manner.
Turkey-Buzzards and a species of
bird with long legs and bill, called
Limpkius, were the only birds that
were abundant, and as our illuminated
boat came along would fly up from
the small trees in Jhe swamps at the
side of the river.
Nature at length asserted her do
minion, and we (tho passengers) re
tired for the night.
Next morning I arose as soon as it
was day-light to try trolling for Bass,
but in this was not . very successful
The turns in the river were so abrupt
that I could let out but little line, and
the boat frightened the fish too much
for success so soon after her passage.
I trolled most of the forenoon and
caught but one bass.
During the forenoon we saw two
groves of the wild orange of Florida,
Ihey are sour and unfit for use, but
are very beautiful. The "orange-men
are now transplanting these sour trees
into regular groves and budding the
sweet orange on them. In this way
they get bearing trees in four or five
years.
At one p. m. we reached the mouth
of Silver Creek, and at three p. m. ar
rived at our Mecca Silver Spring.
Trolled as we went up Silver creek
and caught three nice Bess, Saw tbou.-.
sands of bass iu Silver creek aud the
spring, but in the gpri.n; could not
catch a single one.
Silver Spring is nearly circular and
has an area of perhaps three or four
acres. The water is clear as crystal
and rises all through the basin so that
no bubbling or boiling is visible. i
ft is strongly impregnated with lime
nd is not considered very healthy to
drink. The bottom of the spring is
white sand, but is nearly covered with
species of moss and weeds that grow
under water. The sand is, however,
visible in spots and the water is so per
fectly clear that fish, shells, and small
objects may be seen distinctly on the
sand where the water is thirty or forty
feet deep, aud in tho sunlight assumed
prismatio colors and sparkled like
beautiful jewels. The spring has uo
streams running into it, and is sur
rounded by low, dry, sandy banks,
but the outlet is some 50 feet wide by
10 feet deep and runs with a current
of about three miles an hour. It seems
almost incredible that such a volume
of water should come from a single
spring, yet such is the case. This out
let, call.ed Silver creek, is eight miles
in length, and has all along it spots
where the white fand is visible and
Ue water preserves its perfect purity
and cleanliness till it reaches the Ock
lawaha. There the con.trs.8t is very
great, as tlm latter js a dark and turbid
stream.
While at the Silver spring some of
our passengers visited a llosw and Tar
establishment and found it quite a cu
riosity. At six p. m. our boat pulled out of
Silver spring, and soon we were again
traveling en an illuminated highway,
Again were we greeted with the dis
cordant voice of the buzzard, and the
shrill cry of the limpkin Again it
seemed ns though our boat and . pas
seugors eonstitoted an Immense -monster,
searching its way through by
and forbidden fastnesses, nnd disturb
ing tho winged inhabitants of tho dis
mal swamps from their accustomed re
pose. But at length the eye wearies
of strnnfi sights, nnd the ear tires of
strange sounds, and we seek relief in
sleep.
Nest morning we were still in the
dreary mazes (if the Ocklawaha, and
did not reach the St. Johns till eleven
a. m. '.,',
Three p, m. brought us. back to the
wharf at Falatka, aud we came ashore
well satisfied with our "Trip to Silver
