trees in the world.  The flat tops of the hillocks are all covered with groves of pine trees, with plenty of grass growing under them, and so free from underwood that you may gallop a horse for forty or fifty miles an end.  In the low grounds and islands in the river there are cypress, bay-trees, poplar, plane, frankincense or gum-trees, and aquatic shrubs.  All part of the province are well watered; and, in digging a moderate depth, you never miss of a fine spring.

What we call the Atlantic ocean, washes the east and southeast coast of these provinces.  The gulf stream of Florida sets in with a tide in the ocean to the east of the province; and it is very remarkable that the banks and soundings of the coast extend twenty or twenty-five miles to the east of the coast.

The tides upon this coast flow generally seven feet.  The soundings are sand or ooze, and some oyster banks, but no rocks.  The coast appears low from the sea, and covered with woods.

Cape Fear is a point which runs with dreadful shoals far into the sea, from the mouth of Clarendon river in North Carolina.  Sullivan’s Island and the Coffin land are the marks of the entry into Charlestown harbor.  Hilton head, upon French’s island, shows the entry into Port Royal; and the point of Tybee island makes the entry of the Savannah river.  Upon that point the Trustees for Georgia have erected a noble signal or light-house, ninety feet high, and twenty-five feet wide.  It is an octagon, and upon the top there is a flag-staff thirty feet high.

The Province of Georgia is watered by three great rivers, which rise in the mountains, namely, the Alatamaha, the Ogechee, and the Savannah; the last of which is navigable six hundred miles for canoes, and three hundred miles for boats.

The British dominions are divided from the Spanish Florida by a noble river called St. John’s.

These rivers fall into the Atlantic ocean; but there are, besides these, the Flint and the Cahooche, which pass through part of Carolina or Georgia, and fall into the gulf of Appellachee or Mexico.

All Carolina is divided into three parts:  1.  North Carolina, which is divided from South Carolina by Clarendon river, and of late by a line marked out by order of the Council:  2.  South Carolina, which, on the south is divided from 3.  Georgia by the river Savannah.  Carolina is divided into several counties; but in Georgia there is but one yet erected, namely, the county of Savannah.  It is bounded, on the one side, by the river Savannah, on the other by the sea, on the third by the river Ogechee, on the fourth by the river Ebenezer, and a line drawn from the river Ebenezer to the Ogechee.  In this county are the rivers Vernon, Little Ogechee, and Westbrook.  There is the town of Savannah, where there is a seat of judicature, consisting of three bailiffs and a recorder.  It is situated upon the banks of the river of the same name.  It consists of about two hundred houses, and lies upon a plain
