But the young\u003cbr\u003eyachtman still maintains his hold upon the scenes of his earlier life\u003cbr\u003ein Michigan, and his letters come regularly from that State. If he were\u003cbr\u003eold enough to vote, he could do so only in Michigan; and therefore he\u003cbr\u003ehas not lost his right to claim a residence there during his temporary\u003cbr\u003esojourn in the South. Besides, half his ship's company are Western\u003cbr\u003eboys, who carry with them from \"The Great Western\" family of States\u003cbr\u003ewhatever influence they possess in their wanderings through other\u003cbr\u003esections of the grand American Union.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe same characters who have figured in other volumes of the Series\u003cbr\u003eare again presented, though others are introduced. The hero is as\u003cbr\u003estraightforward, resolute, and self-reliant as ever. His yacht\u003cbr\u003eadventures consist of various excursions on the St. Johns River, from\u003cbr\u003eits mouth to a point above the head of ordinary navigation, with a run\u003cbr\u003eacross to Indian River, on the sea-coast, a trip up the Ocklawaha, to\u003cbr\u003ethe Lake Country of Florida, and shorter runs up the smaller streams.\u003cbr\u003eThe yachtmen and his passengers try their hand at shooting alligators\u003cbr\u003eas well as more valuable game in the \"sportsman's paradise\" of the\u003cbr\u003eSouth, and find excellent fishing in both fresh and salt water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApart from the adventures incident to the cruise of the yacht in so\u003cbr\u003einteresting a region as Florida, the volume, like its predecessors in\u003cbr\u003ethe Series, has its own story, relating to the life-history of the\u003cbr\u003ehero. But his career mingles with the events peculiar to the region in\u003cbr\u003ewhich he journeys, and many of his associates are men of the \"sunny\u003cbr\u003eSouth.\" In any clime, he is the same young man of high aims and noble\u003cbr\u003epurposes. The remaining volume will follow him in his cruise on the\u003cbr\u003eGulf of Mexico, and up the Mississippi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDORCHESTER, MASS., August 25, 1880.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                                                           PAGE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER I.\u003cbr\u003e    MAKING A FLORIDA PORT                                    13\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER II.\u003cbr\u003e    OUR LIBERAL PASSENGERS                                    23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER III.\u003cbr\u003e    A NATIVE FLORIDIAN                                        33\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER IV.\u003cbr\u003e    A TRIP UP THE SAN SEBASTIAN                               43\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER V.\u003cbr\u003e    SAVED FROM THE BURNING HOUSE                              53\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VI.\u003cbr\u003e    MOONLIGHT AND MUSIC ON BOARD                              63\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VII.\u003cbr\u003e    THE ENEMY IN A NEW BUSINESS                               73\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VIII.\u003cbr\u003e    A DISAGREEABLE ROOM-MATE                                  83\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER IX.\u003cbr\u003e    A BATTLE WITH THE SERPENT                                 93\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER X.\u003cbr\u003e    THE FELLOW IN THE LOCK-UP                                103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XI.\u003cbr\u003e    THE HON.
