But on my way along the wharf I made up my mind that, as the fort had been there for three hundred years, it would probably stand a while longer, and that we had better go along with our baggage, and see about getting a place to live in, for we were not going to be in any hurry to leave St.Augustine.
We didn't go to any hotel at all.

I had a letter of introduction to a Mr.Cholott, and on our way up from the wharf, I heard some one call out that name to a gentleman.

So I remembered my letter, and went up and gave it to him.

He was a first-rate man, and when we told him where we were going, we had quite a talk, and he said he would advise us to go to a boarding-house.

It would be cheaper, and if we were like most boys that he knew, we'd like it better.
