(As told by John Entwistle Sr., for the Civitan's "NATIVIC" issue of July 2, 1953, Leo Allen, editor. ISL). - We, of the "Pee Dee Queen" wish that we could give you a, Local Sequel Of Kontiki, buty such is not our experience. In. five days of smooth riding; (June 16-29) we reached our destination, a wonderful experi ence behind us " and our only hazards mental Ones. The crew of the "Pee Dee Queen" was excellent in all respects and at all times. Thev only shortcomings were with the captain. He took his crew forth ; to combat mosquitoes, I heat, and snakes, and ran into; mud and then was a complete flop at making pancakes. (Pro posed Civitan Pancake-Waffle Committee, please note ) . The -"Pee Dee - Queen" with "Me Too", the supply boat, in, tow sailed "triumphantly" would be a good word, though not in this case from the Che raw at 10:25 A. M. and after four hours , traveling time, reached the Sociey Hill Bridge, twenty-four miles down stream six miles per hour! Four Her shey Bajs hanging from the. bridge brightened things con siderably. (Frances had been there ahead of us). Eleven more miles and we pulled in to camp as the clouds were thicken ing. There are several kinds of mud, I'm sure, but none as slick as that greyish-brown mud ,ofl the Pee Dee. Better not elabor ate on the mud as Leo censors Nativic sufficient it to? say that we saw enough mud during two lsolid.nights of jain On the third night we made Gresham, one hundred miles; downstream. Gresham's claim, to fame is being the the home town of Mrs. Ella Jones Mulkey, wife of Civitan J. C. We were, most happy to see a moon in the sky a we unloaded wet tents, blankets, and boys. We were even more happy when Mr, and Mrs. J. Frank Jones came by the Gresham Bridge and invit ed us to supper. It was a su perb supper under any circum stances, but to four wet and tiired boys (Ha, Ha. Me, too) it was especially wonderful. We shall never "forge the Jones' hospitality. m With the wet weather behind us and a good meal with us, we stepped up our tempo from thirty-five miles daily average; to fifty and reached theWac camaw River after leaving thes Pee Dee .below the Conway Georgetown Bridge and taking Bull Creek into the inland wa-terwayr-at the Waccamaw. In that swampy country a ridge of high land (3') looked especially good as . darknesst came and sand underfoot was a most welcome change. Next morning a yatch basin three miles downstream eased our iconcern over a low gas supply. Then up the Waccamaw to the dredged out part "of the inland water way at least, into the Tighman Yatch Basin at the Little River Bridge. Perhaps a brief account of. the vegetation along the river would be of interest. We noted Spanish moss before reaching Society Hill and had it all the rest of the way. There .were very few pines along the river, but an abundance of Willow along the bank and reaching out into the water. Cotton-wood and sycamore were two other species .very much . in evidence. Grapevines climbing into the trees and patches of cane' gave, at times, the appearance of ,a jungle. Bel6w Florence,1 the cy press and juniper became plen tiful. ' On the Waccamaw it was juniper and gum with an un usual pink rose giving color tb the swamp-land. , All in all, there is plenty of timber on the Pee Dee (Goodbye, Hal) and not a cultivated 'field until the inland waterway near Myrtle Beach. Other rivers and other times, perhaps, but now we say thanks, for your interest in our trip, and let's win some Softball games and keep step with the fine pace President Torn and Editor Leo are setting .
