Eight or ten miles from the mouth I
tf of the Withlachoocbee river in FlorIda ships are loaded with phosphaterock for transportation to Europe
Theee ships are loaded from barges
towed out from the river by tugs
The transfer trom the barge to theship necessitates houseboats for the
t stevedoresAbout a year and a half ago whenr
> the enterprise was first inaugurated
during a heavy northeast blow one of
the houseboats went adrift the mas-
ter¬
stevedore being on board the ship
l at the time and nothing but a crowd-
of darkies on board the houseboat
t Tile other day while at Port InglisWithlacoochee river I met the old
cook of the houseboat who was o-nt her during the storm and he describ-
ed
¬
the involuntary voyage as follows

necessary without much ado or ittees when opposition is futile andvisely abandons the effort Strong7latures give in and yield their willsS
