By "SENEOA." 

 A practical cook book for canoeists, Corinthiaia sailors and outers. Practical because 

 the author gives explicit and intelligible directions for preparing such dishes as he has him- 

 sflf acttially tested in camp and on a cruise. This is just where the recipes differ from the 

 absurdly iin practicable dishes given in some so-called camp cookery books. The cooking 

 outfit is described, and numerous hints pn camp economy add to the value of the work,
