On their northward journey along the Atlantic coast, the Expedition party spent time at the House of Refuge at New River Inlet near Fort Lauderdale. They stopped there briefly on April 12 while sailing north on the schooner "Margaret." They had to turn back because of bad weather and ended up staying at the House of Refuge on April 13 before resuming their northward journey on the 14th. The keeper at the time of the party's visit was Dennis O’Neill, who served as keeper from 1888 to 1894. O'Neill had been a boat builder and ship captain.
