18/22 We saw the "Tigris" going out over the bar. The captain wanted to get out on the same tide he came in on, and he did not lose any time. As soon as she got fairly out to sea, we hurried down, to go to the fort. But first, Rectus said, we ought to go and buy straw hats. There were lots of men with straw hats in St.Augustine.This was true, for it was just as warm here as we have it in June, and we started off to look for a straw-hat store. |
