They should be a trifle higher than combing. Scull- 
hole in stern-board 4 in. from top of board, and two and 
one half inch in diameter. The hole should be lined 
with leather, or lead, and a tight fitting plug kept in

come in contact with the locks and boat should be 
bound with leather. Use a half inch rope at the bow-~ 
If you use a chain—its noisy clanking will spoil many 
a chance for a shot.
