St. Augustine, Fla., Dec. 28, Friday. Arrived in time at 7 A.M. Stopped at the fine Aleagan Hotel (room in Cordova). In the morning walked around town and finally out to Barnett Grove where the pines all are there seen, but they are not as fine as those seen some miles north of Jacksonville. In the afternoon took the electric cars for Barnett Beach on Anastasia Island. The only car early in this city. Once again we saw the fine white sand on the beach that when dry is picked up by the wind and piled farther inland to make a ten or twenty foot dune. These dunes are a quarter of mile wide but the dunes are as high as hard any man can put up. Very fine almost like talcum powder, and an odor of chlorate has been surprised to see in these dunes on an occasional marine shell fragment and especially from the sea side. The great storms carry the shells for perhaps 300-500 feet but the wind carries the dry then settled ones such as Oolites, Oolite, and other kinds congregate from still farther and higher of in the dunes. The dune sand is not rounder and makes a singing noise under the foot.
