Bology Students Find Rar
Specimens on Trip to Prof.
Snowden's Home Town
By T. S.
On Thursday, 13, .the Biology an
Botany departments of the Universit
packed their kits, jars, nets, student:
and professors into automobiles an
Fords and made their annual trip t
the coast. Their destination was Sul
livan's Island, located not far from th
Snowdens' "city of paradise," Charles
ton.
Early Thursay morning, the eage
students rose with smiling faces a
the thought of the trip that lay befor
them. Little students, big students, fa
students, and lean students slid int
their respective places as cogs in
wheel. There was no time to lose, an
by one o'clock the last car had she

highway.
Thru the wilds of Orangeburg Cour

Over hill, plain, gravel, rock, clay, an

The ferry officials, forgetting the
automobiles and sardines are entirel
different in outside shape, made
brave attempt to follow the examp
set by the packers of the unfortunal
fish, and the success was far to gre;
for comfort. But as the fresh sa

a feeling of ease permeated througi

of laughter sounded on deck.
Landing at Mt. Pleasant, the et

rooms for a good night's rest.

student. The knapsacks, jars, buckets
nets, and, shovels were packed hurried
ly, and the party started for the Isle
= of Palms before their brothers at Ca
rolina had sloughed off their Freudian
dreams.
Once on the island, the professors
took charge of their respective stu
dents, and started their explorations.
Dr. Corrington handled the zoologists ;
Dr. Moore the botanists, and Dr.
Smythe, the ornithologists. Many
I interesting specimens were found, jelly
3 fisehes, crabs, snakes, peculiar plants
- and birds, and whiskey bottles are only
e a few of them.
- While seining near the shore, a rare
specimen for the sea was brought up
r in the net. It was very much out of
t its accustomed place, and while some
e were discussing its appearance, it my
t steriously disappeared into the ocean.
1 The cause of its being there has not
a yet been explained, but an explanation
it is expected to result from the investi
d gation of several students.
It The afternoon was spent at the Small
Jetties and on the farther side of Sulli
- van's Isle, and by night the jars and
f buckets were overflowing with Biolo
I. gical and Botanical finds.
d The next morning, Saturday, the
e party boarded a boat and heaved an
n chor for Caper's Island. All morning
g the crowds hunted for animals and
s plants, and at noon, returned to the
boat for lunch. Then they returned to
Sullivan's Island. Overhead, droves of
it birds flew hurriedly on, and the waves
Y splashed against the sides of the boat.
a Thru all the little inlets and bays and
e around islands, the boat steered its
e way. While sonic miles out at sea, a
t storm broke loose, and everyone ran

s In a few minutes the sun came out
and all were unwrapping themselves

ir arrived safely after about a seventy

1e A dance was given that night for all

*e won the prize, had there been one
' given.
h Sunday morning, as many as wanted
ie to visited Fort Moultrie. Then every
1. one met at the Charleston Museum and
i were shown around by the professors.
After lunch, car by car slowly left the
o city bound for old Carolina, and as

t- last remnant of a splendid expedition
turned its eyes toward the capital.
