deck, being set in white lead and well screwed through plank and 

 deck. Through the center of this piece a vertical hole lin. in diameter 

 is bored for the rudder stock. 



Owing to the extended deck aft both the cockpit and centerboard 

 are further aft than in the ordinary sneakbox. The coaming of the 

 cockpit is 2i^in. high. The floor boards are raised from 3 to 3}^in. 

 above the bottom, so that the bilge water will not slop over them, 

 the extra depth allowing this change. There are no fixed thwarts, 

 the oarsman sitting on a box which holds the stores, etc., on a cruise, 

 while in sailing the crew sit on deck or on the floor. When used for 

 pleasure sailing five or six may be accommodated, and in cruismg a 

 bed for three can be made up on the wide floor of the 10ft. boat. A 

 tent can easily be rigged over the boat at night, supported by the 

 boom. For one or two persons such a boat laft. over all Will be quite 

 large enough for cruising and may be built of light weight. The 

 dimensions and scales are for two sizes, 16 and 13ft. over all.

Tbo stations are 1ft. apart by both scales. In the 13f t. boat the 

 waterlines are l^in. apart, and in the 16ft., Sin. 



The scantling for the 13ft. boat would be, planking J^in.. deck %m., 

 timbers %x.}4m., spaced 9in. The larger boat would have %m. piank- 

 iDg, i^in. deck, and timbers IxJ^in, spaced lOin. The stern is framed 

 as described for the stem in the previous ariicles, two quarter pieces 

 being cut to the outUne of deck and fastened to transom and upper 

 end of keel. A sternpost and scag are fitted after the boat is taken 

 from the stocks, and two bilge keels are screwed outside. The center- 

 board is of yellow pine, edge-bolted with J^in. iron and weighted with 

 lead. The deck is covered with 6oz. duck, laid in fresh paint. A half- 

 round bead makes a finish around the gunwale and covers the edge 

 of the canvas. If a handsome little sailing boat is desired, the hull 

 above water will be painted blacn or white, with a gold stripe as 

 shown, the bottom being coated with copper bronze. The rig will be 

 a balance lug of about 125ft. for ordinary sailing. The boat shown 

 was built by J. MacWhirter, of West New Brighton, Staten Island. 

 The cost would vary according to size and finish from $135 for a 13ft. 

 boat with sail and galvanized fittings to $160 for a 16ft. boat finished 

 with brass fittings. We shall give plans of sails especially adapted for 

 these and the preceding boats, as soon as the weather will allow the 

 completion of the trials of various rigs. 



THE CRUISE OF THE PILGRIM.-IV. 



BY DR. W. H. WINSLOW. 



WE. left Burnt Island to port,passed Tumbler Island on the starboard 

 and began to open out the houses in Townsend. The breeze was 

 right astern and, as I made a course along shore, there came a sud- 

 den pulf of wind off the hills, and jibed the mainsail. I dodged the 

 boom and shouted, "The boom! lookout!" and all got down except 

 Jack, who was standing on the port side close to the cockpit. Tlie 

 boom struck him in the side and overboard he went head first, but, 

 at the same instant, I threw one arm around his legs and dragged him 

 in, and the next moment he was standing on deck again, wet to his 

 waist on one side only, and looked white and scared, with his eyes 

 widely opened. There was no time to think. The whole thing was 

 over and the boy safely landed in ten seconds. Action seemed to 

 come befo.-e thought, though I suppose there was an unconscious 

 cerebration to account for the motor impulse. 



We kept on along shore and among the vessels until we were near 

 the head of a little island and opposite the principal part of Towns- 

 end, and let go our anchor in three fathoms, at 5 P. M., having made 

 an excellent run from Portland. 



Our dinner tasted good, after the sails were furled, and we enjoyed 

 the early evening, sitting upon the deck, watching the fishing ves- 

 sels coming in, and the people upon shore, and the lights of craft and 

 houses and the stars, for a long time, until the dampness and chilly 

 air admonished us to go below. I took some of the boys and went 

 ashore with letters, then had a row around the harbor, and all hands 

 turned in at 11 o'clock thoroughly tired and happy.
