CANOE SHOOTING. 



CANOE FORESHORTENED. 

 For a guide to builders, if ordered inland or abroad. 



SETTING POLE. 

 The bit of lead round fork makes it sink better. 



POOLE MUD-BOARDS. 



Sixteen inches square. 



Upper side. Under side. 



Put your foot into C, with your heel hard against D ; place one 

 of the small ropes on each side the foot, and under C j then over it, 

 and under D. Having done this, draw the ropes together, as tight 

 as the foot can bear them, and tie them over your instep. These 

 boards are, of necessity, larger, and fitted up with stronger rope, than 

 the others, because the Poole ground is so very soft. 



But the Hampshire boards, with our improvements of double 

 splicing, and having strong pot-line, to " lash" over, are now by far 

 the best, and the quickest to " ship and unship."
