It is eight miles long and at low tide hall' a mile wide. We put up at the Valmctto House, ke])t l)y an Irish lady, a I\Irs. JNleDonnellâthere was a ]\Ir. of that name, but he was a mere cipher in the estal)lisli- ment. Here wc had to wait some time for letters from home, so we made numerous excursions into the surrounding country for quail, pintailed grouse, and ducks. On one of our first trips to the mainland wc stopped at the house of a num named Oallaglier, an Irishman, and happening one day when shooting to come on the railway, we went into a small store, which was also a railway-station, to buy some- thing Avlnch -wc needed, and got into conversation with the man wlio kept it, who introduced himself to us as Captain Richardson, late of the Southern army. On our saying where wc Mere staying, and that the fare was bad, he very hospitably pressed us to come back and stay the night at his house, wliere he said lie could give ns something better. lie so evidently â wished us to come, that we consented, Billy Breeze being with ns, and wr^kcd with him to a very pretty little wooden house, covered with creepers and standing in a garden, wliere he introduced us to his wife and daughter, who seemed very nice also.
