The lake is supplied by a number of creeks which empty into it and springs which send p their never-failug currents from the bottom of the basin. The water near the shore is shallow, bUjt r elsewhere reaches an average deptli jof thirty feetthe greatest depth being about thirty .five feet. By the coarse of the Waccamaw river, which is said; to form the eastern boundary of the republic of Horry, the lake is one hundred and eight miles from tnirAtlantic ocean. -.In an air-line the distance to the sea is not more Sail twenty miles.' xThe water is .fresh and is strongly ' ira. pregnated with the juniper berry This wtole section of country I is on "an'almbst dead level of slight eleva" tlon above the sea, and no reasonable acoanfjof the origin of this inland sea has ever bqen given. One theo. ry is that in thtfremote' riast there , was an immense aeposic 01 vegetaoie mould wlrfch -was 'burned out and formed a'basin for the lake.

All'varietie of perch are to be found, and the white perch is peculiai to this lake' In addition there' are trout in abundance black fish, pickerel and catfish, and Col. Short is now experimenting with German carp and the land 'locked salmon. ' To give some idea of the great number of fish in the lake it is stated upon good authority that a party consisting of three went out last week and in about" one hour's time caught 263 white perch with the hook, "and it wasn't a good day for fishing either.,, j The swamps around the Lake are filled with game of all kinds squirrels, raccoons',' deer, black bear, beaver, otter, &c. ., Two hundred . deer .have been killed here within' sixty days, an an old man named Hndson, who lives on "Crusoe's Island,' has for years-dope a very profitable business in trapping. There are also a great many wild cattle in the swamps and many of the people who live around .here winter 'their Cattle in these swamps, which furnish an inexhaustU ble supply of green food the year around. There are many romances connecti ed with the lake. It is said that Osceol'p, llbe great Indian chief, whose modest tomb may now be found beneath the frowning walls of Fort Moultrie, on Sullivan's Island, was1 born on the banks of Waccamaw Lake, and that his father was a white man named Powell. Other stories are told of many terrific encounters between the' old' Indian tribes upon j the shores. qf this lake and several, mounds may be seen where the dead were bonedr. During the war a great many deserters found a safe hiding J place in the swamps around here, but "the wilderness is as dense almost as it i was a hundred years ago, and the soli.
