strong and will not pull out as screw- 

 eyes would. 



Every ship must have its clock, but to 

 the moderate purse the regular ship clock 

 is rather an extravagance. A very neat 

 clock can be constructed at little ex- 

 pense, yet in appearance it can be made 

 the equal of a very expensive ship clock. 

 The sole difference is that the clock will 

 not strike the ship bells. 



The only materials for the clock are 

 an old steam gauge and an ordinary 

 cheap alarm clock. The brass steam 

 gauge can be picked up in any second- 

 hand junk shop for a very few cents, and 



and setting the clock. With the brass 

 well polished and given a coat of trans- 

 parent lacquer, the arrangement affords 

 a very attractive addition to the cabin of 

 the boat. 



With room at a premium on board a 

 cruiser, the equipment of the galley is 

 usually overlooked, and the space saved 

 given over to fancy cushions, extra sit- 

 ting room or something of this charac- 

 ter, whereas in reality, whether for a 

 short trip or a long cruise, the galley is 

 one of the most important sections of 

 the boat. A good stove is an essential, 

 and its choice is very difficult. There

the interior mechanism of the gauge and 

 dial removed, leaving a shell for the 

 alarm clock. The back of the gauge in 

 most cases is threaded and screws to the 

 body, so that the back can be taken off 

 and two small holes bored to take a couple 

 of wood screws of sufficient length to 

 attach it to a wall of the boat. Remove 

 the feet and usual top ring from the clock 

 ind place it inside the case of the gauge. 

 A hole bored through the top with a 

 screw to fit where the small ring on the 

 top has been removed will hold the clock 

 in place. This permits the whole to be

 for a type that will give all-around satis- 

 faction and is inexpensive to run, the 

 blue flame kerosene stove is probably the 

 most satisfactory. The oil is held in a 

 tank which forms the base of the stove. 

 The stove has two burners, and it is sur- 

 prising to learn of the excellent meals 

 that can be prepared with it by a little 

 manipulation and ingenuity.
