Murchison
director
of
the
Coldspring
manufactory
,
of
the
other
,
who
thus
executed
the
deed
on
behalf
of
their
respective
principals
.
When
the
decision
was
arrived
at
by
the
Gun
Club
,
to
the
disparagement
of
Texas
,
every
one
in
America
,
where
reading
is
a
universal
acquirement
,
set
to
work
to
study
the
geography
of
Florida
.
Never
before
had
there
been
such
a
sale
for
works
like
"
Bertram
's
Travels
in
Florida
,
"
"
Roman
's
Natural
History
of
East
and
West
Florida
,
"
"
William
's
Territory
of
Florida
,
"
and
"
Cleland
on
the
Cultivation
of
the
Sugar-Cane
in
Florida
.
"
It
became
necessary
to
issue
fresh
editions
of
these
works
.
Barbicane
had
something
better
to
do
than
to
read
.
He
desired
to
see
things
with
his
own
eyes
,
and
to
mark
the
exact
position
of
the
proposed
gun
.
So
,
without
a
moment
's
loss
of
time
,
he
placed
at
the
disposal
of
the
Cambridge
Observatory
the
funds
necessary
for
the
construction
of
a
telescope
,
and
entered
into
negotiations
with
the
house
of
Breadwill
and
Co.
,
of
Albany
,
for
the
construction
of
an
aluminum
projectile
of
the
required
size
.
He
then
quitted
Baltimore
,
accompanied
by
J.
T.
Maston
,
Major
Elphinstone
,
and
the
manager
of
the
Coldspring
factory
.
On
the
following
day
,
the
four
fellow-travelers
arrived
at
New
Orleans
.
There
they
immediately
embarked
on
board
the
Tampico
,
a
despatch-boat
belonging
to
the
Federal
navy
,
which
the
government
had
placed
at
their
disposal
;
and
,
getting
up
steam
,
the
banks
of
Louisiana
speedily
disappeared
from
sight
.
The
passage
was
not
long
.
Two
days
after
starting
,
the
Tampico
,
having
made
four
hundred
and
eighty
miles
,
came
in
sight
of
the
coast
of
Florida
.
On
a
nearer
approach
Barbicane
found
himself
in
view
of
a
low
,
flat
country
of
somewhat
barren
aspect
.
After
coasting
along
a
series
of
creeks
abounding
in
lobsters
and
oysters
,
the
Tampico
entered
the
bay
of
Espiritu
Santo
,
where
she
finally
anchored
in
a
small
natural
harbor
,
formed
by
the
embouchure
of
the
River
Hillisborough
,
at
seven
P.
M.
,
on
the
22d
of
October
.
Our
four
passengers
disembarked
at
once
.
"
Gentlemen
,
"
said
Barbicane
,
"
we
have
no
time
to
lose
;
tomorrow
we
must
obtain
horses
,
and
proceed
to
reconnoiter
the
country
.
"
Barbicane
had
scarcely
set
his
foot
on
shore
when
three
thousand
of
the
inhabitants
of
Tampa
Town
came
forth
to
meet
him
,
an
honor
due
to
the
president
who
had
signalized
their
country
by
his
choice
.
Declining
,
however
,
every
kind
of
ovation
,
Barbicane
ensconced
himself
in
a
room
of
the
Franklin
Hotel
.
On
the
morrow
some
of
the
small
horses
of
the
Spanish
breed
,
full
of
vigor
and
of
fire
,
stood
snorting
under
his
windows
;
but
instead
of
four
steeds
,
here
were
fifty
,
together
with
their
riders
.
Barbicane
descended
with
his
three
fellow
-
travelers
;
and
much
astonished
were
they
all
to
find
themselves
in
the
midst
of
such
a
cavalcade
.
He
remarked
that
every
horseman
carried
a
carbine
slung
across
his
shoulders
and
pistols
in
his
holsters
.
