On
expressing
his
surprise
at
these
preparations
,
he
was
speedily
enlightened
by
a
young
Floridan
,
who
quietly
said
:
"
Sir
,
there
are
Seminoles
there
.
"
"
What
do
you
mean
by
Seminoles
?
"
"
Savages
who
scour
the
prairies
.
We
thought
it
best
,
therefore
,
to
escort
you
on
your
road
.
"
"
Pooh
!
"
cried
J.
T.
Maston
,
mounting
his
steed
.
"
All
right
,
"
said
the
Floridan
;
"
but
it
is
true
enough
,
nevertheless
.
"
"
Gentlemen
,
"
answered
Barbicane
,
"
I
thank
you
for
your
kind
attention
;
but
it
is
time
to
be
off
.
"
It
was
five
A.
M.
when
Barbicane
and
his
party
,
quitting
Tampa
Town
,
made
their
way
along
the
coast
in
the
direction
of
Alifia
Creek
.
This
little
river
falls
into
Hillisborough
Bay
twelve
miles
above
Tampa
Town
.
Barbicane
and
his
escort
coasted
along
its
right
bank
to
the
eastward
.
Soon
the
waves
of
the
bay
disappeared
behind
a
bend
of
rising
ground
,
and
the
Floridan
"
champagne
"
alone
offered
itself
to
view
.
Florida
,
discovered
on
Palm
Sunday
,
in
1512
,
by
Juan
Ponce
de
Leon
,
was
originally
named
Pascha
Florida
.
It
little
deserved
that
designation
,
with
its
dry
and
parched
coasts
.
But
after
some
few
miles
of
tract
the
nature
of
the
soil
gradually
changes
and
the
country
shows
itself
worthy
of
the
name
.
Cultivated
plains
soon
appear
,
where
are
united
all
the
productions
of
the
northern
and
tropical
floras
,
terminating
in
prairies
abounding
with
pineapples
and
yams
,
tobacco
,
rice
,
cotton-plants
,
and
sugar-canes
,
which
extend
beyond
reach
of
sight
,
flinging
their
riches
broadcast
with
careless
prodigality
.
Barbicane
appeared
highly
pleased
on
observing
the
progressive
elevation
of
the
land
;
and
in
answer
to
a
question
of
J.
T.
Maston
,
replied
:
