The distance from the mouth of Hilsborough river to the head of the lake, in a direct line, is about 110 statute miles. The country between them is mostly, if not wholly, an everglade, by which is meant a low marsh frequently covered with water, and in which there grows a sharp triangular grass, from ten to twelve feet high, and impervious to men or animals.

从希尔斯伯勒河口到湖的顶端的直线距离约为110英里。它们之间的国家大部分,如果不是全部,都是一片常被水淹没的低洼沼泽地,其中生长着一种锐利的三角形草,高达十到十二英尺,对人或动物来说是无法穿过的。[美国机械杂志,1826年1月21日]
