124 FLORIDA.

-The We-ki-wa (Captain Jones) "goes it alone," plying
between Jacksonville and the remote upper regions of the
river. It is a small and old-fashioned boat.-A small
steamer leaves Jacksonville every afternoon for Fort George
Island, at the mouth of the St. John's, returning next morn-
ing, and affording a delightful excursion.-Several small
steamers ply at frequent intervals between Jacksonville
and the various villages and private landings on the river
as far up as Palatka.*

 Details as to these various steamers (hours of departure, etc.) will be
 found in the chapter, Routes to and through Florida."
