May, 1772, while Washington was still a Virginia colonel, he wrote from Mount Vernon: "Inclination having yielded to Importunity, I nm now, contrary to all expectation, under the hands of Mr. Peale; but in so grave, so sullen a mood and now and then under the Influence of Morpheus when some critical strokes' are making that I fancy tre. skill of this gentleman's pencil will be put to It, In describing to the world what) manner of man I am.

The allusion In this Jest of Stuart's was the fact that Charles Wilson Peale, his younger brother, James, and his sons, Rembrandt and Raphaelle, were availing themselves of this, Washington's last to delineate his features.

The Qeseeadants of Daniel Lee mmi His Wife How Are the Only Ocoa paala of the Monad la the Great Swamp How They Monaco to B' 1st la the Solitude. From the Atlanta Constitution! Waycross, Pec. 8.

Billys Island Is famous for Its thrilling history. Us romantic traditions and Ita peculiar location; and environment. It Is nearly centrally located In tho Okefenokee, which comprised' territory In Echi ols. Pierce and Charlton counties, Go. and Baker and Columbia eouhtjes, Flo.

It Is threo miles wide and four miles long. The Mlahd Is a few miles nearer to the western side of the swamp than the east ern side. There are three, approaches to the Island the Haines river route, the Suwanee canal route from the east, and the "pocket" route from the To reach the Island by the first route starts from Fort Mudge, 12 miles from Waycross, on ine waycross. ime. aad reaones Haines river alter a few hours' ride In a wagon, and thence he transports himself down the river to the Island a' distance of over 50 miles, In a canoe.

The trip down the river requires about three days. The second route is from Folkston, 25 miles south of Fort Mudge, to Camp miles, and thence 15 by and from the end of tne canal about two miles through Jungle and marsh to the IslaBd. To reach the ay th4 third route one leaves womerviiie, zt miles from Waycross, on the west coast lino of the Plant. system, in a wagon for about 20 miles, and through the swamp about 10 miles In a Either, route Is traveled with difficulty, and a trip to Billys allowing a stay of three days, requires 11 days by the first and third routes and eight days by the second The name "Billys" was applied to the Island by the people of this region after Billy Bowlegs, the famous BenHnole chief, hosa massacre of the Wilds family three miles from Waycross. and other cruel acts against the white settlers, are matters ot history.

After the massacre of the Wilde family Billy Bowlegs and hla tribe retreated Into the Okefenokee swamp and sought refuge on Billys Island, where they remained several monthe and then removed, to the -Everglades of Florida, the present home of the descendants of the tribe: It Is said that Billy Bowlegs died of malaria after living several years' In the Everglades. Mr. and Mrs. James Lee were the' first while people who ever lived- on Billys Island. They came from North Carolina, and were honest, respectable people.

It was over 40 years agq that they removed to the Island, and from that time until their death, a period of over 25 years, they lived happily In their hermitage, and never attain visited the outside world. They hod some few thousand dollars. It Is said, and Mr. Lee, becoming- weary of contact with the world, sought seclusion in the swamp. He was eccentric, and some of his peculiarities are the heritage1 of his daughter, the only child of hie marriage.

Mr, and Mrs. Lee are reputed to have been Intelligent, fairly educated, and of good families. Their daughter soon grew up Into womanhood, and was unusually good girl had never been to and had -never been, taught to. read -or There was no other human habitation In tlte. wholo of the Okefenokee' swamp, an area of about 945 square and there were no preachers, physicians, lawyers and courts within 85 or more miles.

Hap pily there was nd sickness among the fam. Ily, and a physician' was never really re- quireu. The mode' of living with this peculiar family was of a primitive etyle. They made their clothes from the wool of their sheep, and' from cotton goods -they pur-chased from time to time when Mr. Lee ventured but of the swamp ttf some con venient market, which he aid once a year or, possibly twice a year.

On these trips he carried with him otter hides, bear sklus. sheen skins, tallow, beeswax, and with thenr he purchased a few necessaries. The iBland then, as now, was (he hunter's paramse, near, quau.nsn ana otn-er, game were plentiful, and Mr. Lee was very devoted to his dally outings with his gun and rod and line, He cleared a few acres of gf-ound around his log hut, and planted a small crop of corn, pott peas and vegetables and started a fruit orchard. Hogs, sheep, cattle and poultry were raiped on.

nis farm, and he had milk and butter in plenty. He was often referred to as the king of the Okefenokee- swamp, and -aftnrward that title descended to his son-lh-law. The family did not possess a Bible or any books or periodicals, or papers. Miss Lee was never taught the Christian religion. Lee, a near relative of the Lees, visited them every few years, and when Miss Lee was about 20 years of age he married her.

They remained on the island and their union has been blessed with a family of thirteen sons and daughters. James Lee and- his wife were laid to rest about or fifteen years ago In the Lee cemetery, on Billy's lRland. They died of old age, and had never been sick since they came to the island. A cemetery was" never thought St by th? Lees until the first death occurred, end then a small lot near tho lake shore Billy's lake was selected. This was the first human death on' the island, so far as 'is known.

Daniel Lee then succeeded to, the title of king of the Okefenokee swamp. He built a double-pen log house for the king's palace and he and his family have lived there ever since. A son and a daughter of the Lees are married and they live at home with their narents. The death of the two small grandchildren of Daniel Lee recenK ly caused the erection or two small mounds In the Lee cemetery. There are- now three families on the island; Mr.

and Mrs. Dan iel Lee and family, young Lee and family, and Mrs. Lee. a grass widow. The house consists of two rooms, the three consisting of sixteen souls, sleep In one room, and the other room le the dining room nnd kitchen.

The house is In the center of the island and Is surrounded with' shade trees and cabbage palmetto and ftowets. There is no other residence- in the swamp, and the Lees, though possessing no deed for titles to their farm, are kings of that region, The American University geography by ededlah Morse, A. printed In Boston, in 1713,. a copy of which Is, possessed by Mr. George W.
