BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE 191 



Ancient and Modern Ships and Paasch's magnifi- 

 cent polyglot marine dictionary, From Keel to 

 Truck, deal with steam as well as sail. Lubbock's 

 Round the Horn before the Mast gives a good 

 account of a modern steel wind-jammer. Patton's 

 article on shipping and canals in Canada and its 

 Provinces is a very good non-nautical account of its 

 subject, and is quite as long and thorough as the 

 ordinary book. Fry's History of North Atlantic 

 Steam Navigation includes a great deal on Canada. 

 The Times Shipping Number gives an up-to-date 

 account of British and foreign shipping in 1912. 

 Barnaby's Naval Development in the Nineteenth 

 Century is well worth reading. So is Bullen's 

 Men of the Merchant Service ; and so, it might be 

 added, are a hundred other books. 



FISHERIES are the subject of a vast literature. 

 An excellent general account, but more European 

 than Canadian, is He"rubel's Sea Fisheries. 

 Grenfell's Labrador and Browne's Where the 

 Fishers Go give a good idea of the Atlantic coast ; 

 so, indeed, does Kipling's Captains Courageous. 

 The butchering of seals in the Gulf and round 

 Newfoundland does not seem to have found any 

 special historian, though much has been written 

 on the fur seal question in Alaska. Whaling is 

 recorded in many books. Bullen's Cruise of the 

 Cachalot is good reading; but annals that inci- 

 dentally apply more closely to Bluenose whalers 

 are set forth in Spears's Story of the New England 

 Whalers.
