I was out in one of»them in a southerly gale which lasted two days

 the start well off shore, and the best we could do was lo drift up and 

 down the beach, losing grouud botti wavs, so if the storm had con-

to portability, allow me to inform you that in the 

 month of July, 187."). during a cruise from Stomoway, Western Hebri- 

 des, to the Clyde, a rough-and-tumble portage of two miles over the 

 rough, stony Lewis Mountains was made, as follows: Canoes were 

 hauled, each one by its owner, by the painter over heather, moss, 

 ditches, creeks, and rocks, and after striking the sandy north ford of 

 Beubecula a return w;us made for baggage. 



The canoes used in tiiat trip were of the ordinary gene, al dimen- 

 sions as before given, and baggage consisted of tents, tent-poles, 

 changes of clothes, and over 2f>01bs. weight, of ship-biscuits, canned 

 provisions, and other necessaries that -are requisite tor a cruise where

 course "Wren"' agrees with us that there is a sharp line to be drawn 

 between sailboats and canoes, and, with us. he will not admit that 

 whaleboats and young yachts should be recognized as legitimate 

 canoes. That line we draw at '•portability.'" As soon as a canoe is 

 too large or heavy to peruut of portage by her owner, the concern be- 

 longs to auother breed of boats altogether.]

AN INLAND CRUISER. 

 Editor Forest mid Stream; 



My ship is finished, and if the atmosphere ever admits of a thaw. I 

 intend to Qoat her on the classic Susquehanna, not verv far from tie- 

 lovely valley which Campbell made famous. Before I describe hef, 

 let m'e explain the requirements she was especially designed to meet. 

 The etymology of the name of the river is as graphic as the word is 

 euphonious, for the stream is as crooked as the Greek verb. There 

 are large islands, and, as a matter of course, not only narrow chan- 

 .1 water just above the Islands, resulting froi
