FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Majjch 11, 1888. 



hanna to Cape Henry, the southernmost extremity, Chesapeake Bay- 

 measures 160 nautical or 190 statute miles. From EUc Point to Bod- 

 kin ai the mouth of the Patapsco, on which Baltimore is situated, the 

 distance is 23 nautical miles. From Bodkin to Severn River, upon 

 which is located Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, the distance is 

 about 13. From the Severn to mouth of Patuxent 42. Thence to the 

 well known Point Lookout of the Potomac, 20 nautical miles. Thence 

 to the Kappah3nnock 23. From there to New Point Comfort, known 

 more frequently as New Point, it is 17, and from New Point to Old 

 Point Comfort, Hampton Roads, 24 -nautical miles. The bay is 8 nau- 

 t ical miles or !)U laud miles from Bodkin Point to the eastern shore, 

 t narrows to ti miles from the Severn across to Kent Island. Off the 

 Patuxent it is again S miles; off Point Lookout 14. Below this the 

 greatest width, of 22 nautical miles or 25 land miles, is found, It 

 narrows again to 10 off the Rappahannock and to 13 off New Point. 

 At Old Point it expands once more to IT across to Cape Charles. 

 The mouth of the bay is 10 nautical miles from cape to cape. These 

 figures hardly give a fair idea of the breadth of the waters, because 

 the mouths of the great rivers contribute so much to an Increased 

 reach for the wind and sea that they must be taken into account. 

 In a northeaster, for example, the sweep down the Patapsco, a river 

 over three miles wide at the mouth, and across the bay is actually 20 

 miles where the bay is but S. A similar wind has a sweep out of the 

 Potomac and across the bay of over 30 miles. As the Potomac is 7 

 miles across the mouth, the disturbance out in the bay during a 

 northeaster is something never approached in Long Island Sound 

 unless dun'Dg an easterly gale in its widest part. From the head 

 of Moujacfc Bav to Cape Charles there is another clean sweep 

 of 30 mi'les. If it blows from the northward, it is 15 miles from New 

 Point to Back River, the next harbor on that shore, if you are fami- 

 liar enough to risk its entrance in the high steep sea tumbling over 

 the flats through which the narrow winding channel leads. From 

 north or south, wind and sea are unobstructed for stretches of 75 

 miles. If the gale is on shore, from east round to S. S. E.. the Atlan- 

 tic rollers pour in the capes and 40 miles up the bay, or 25 miles 

 into *'the Roads" of Hampton. From these figures it will be seen 

 what a mighty sheet the Chesapeake may seem to be in ugly and un- 

 toward circumstances. I have heard old smacksmen here freely say 

 they would sooner ride out a blow in the longer swell of the open At- 

 lantic than in the short and hollow chop of the bay, ostensibly shel- 

 tered water. 



Navigating such an inland ocean is serious work compared to 

 which the hacking and filling about Long Island Sound is trivial in- 

 deed. Add to this the distance of 15 to 35 miles between available 

 harbors in the Chesapeake, and the convenience of a hole to run into 

 every 3 to 5 miles in the Sound, and the risks grow to correspond, 

 especially with a small boat, to which 25 miles is a good dny's run, 

 and which could never think of beating to windward half tuat dis 

 tance against a high sea, and often not an inch in bad weather. Now 

 attempt to navigate the bay in the dead of the winter, the severest 

 known in thirty years, with ice and cold to battle against besides, 

 during an unprecedented period of severest gales, and try to do that 

 siutrle'haiided with nine hours daylight only, and you have the tough 

 job the Coot tackled— and accomplished, without serious accident 

 of any kind, but with much hardship, exposure, and considerable 

 disgust at the lack of windwardpowers of a small shoal-bodied beamy 

 boat. Likewise, it must be confessed, with immediate fear of a cap- 

 size at limes, when it was impossible to round to or to get the canvas 

 off. 



The Chesapeake is charted in six lengths, beginning just above 

 the entrance of the Delaware Canal into Back River, one of the 

 eastern tributaries of the noble Elk. The charts are numbered 36. 35, 

 34, 33, 32 and 31 in the titles. The latter takes in the Elizabeth River 

 with the port of Norfolk, Hampton Roads, the Capes, the mouth of 

 the James and Hampton Creek. These charts do not cover the rivers 

 such as the Potomac, Patuxent, York, etc., except their lower reach 

 as they empty into the Bay. The scale is 1-80,000, which is of sufficient 

 detail'foi' al! practical purposes, though harbor charts can also be 

 had. The price of each sheet is fifty cents. The improvements to 

 the '-aids to navigation"' have been of such recent date that care 

 must be taken to buy ouly '-coireeted" charts up to the latest date 

 attainable. Mine were corrected up to efid of 1883, but were not per- 

 fect. Several lishts. notably those of Sandy Point, half way between 

 the Patapsco and Severn and Smith's Point , southern cape ot the 

 Potomac, have since been removed to the extremity of the outlying 

 shoals, the old towel s still standing on the beach. Some of the minor 

 harbors have also been staked. Those making the voyage in small 

 boats should not reiv altogether on the charts, but supplement them 

 with information from local luminaries, being careful not to place 

 implicit trust in their counsels. Though well meaning, some of them 

 like to appear wis e in vour opinion and assent readily to what you 

 wish The nomenclature of small holes and inlets is also uncertain. 

 Different persons know the same place by different appelations not 

 put down on the chart. Many small creeks which afford mucb needed 

 shelter between regularly navigable harbors are not marked with 

 soundings or names at all on the charts, being beneath the dignity of 

 the latter. Others which are located by the government survey are 

 now closed up with bars. Around Point Lookout, for instance, tw o 

 small inlets are shown on the chart, half way between the Point and 

 Smith Creek, five miles up the river. These I could not find, the 

 beach being unbroken the whole distance. I believe Professor Roth- 

 rock, cruising over the same ground in his slocp Martha, went on the 

 same still-hunt with like results. On the other hand, Little Wicomico, 

 below Smith Point, is not sounded on the chart. Yet a small boat 

 drawing 3ft can get in on the ebb without trouble with a leading wind 

 or by poliog and sculling. At top of tide even 5ft. may find water 

 enough. Once mside there is a fine bay, with good anchorage. The 

 lower inlet shown on the chart is closed for anything but canoes. 

 This harbor wab called simply Little River by the natives. The 

 nomenclature of the Chesapeake is commonplace and abominable. 

 Any number of Back Creeks, Smith and Sandy Points, Little. Rivers, 

 South Rivers, Deep Creeks, Plum Islands, etc.. are scattered broad- 

 cast along the shores. Had some of the Indian nomenclature been 

 retained, confusion would have been less and good taste not so 

 offended Around New Point Comfort, which affords only a lee from 

 north and east, it is well to know that there are several creeks in 

 which a small boat can find shelter. No soundings being given, I took 

 the risk of a night under the Point aud escaped alee shore m a young 

 hurricane by ouly a few hours. Since then I have been told that you 

 can carry 5ft. into the creeks without trouble. They are in the big 

 bight inside the Point. Deep Creek, just round the Point, has only 

 2ft of water, though it is marked with prominence on the chart, 

 Governor's Run is said to be another refuge on the long stretch be- 

 tween Herring Harbor and the Patuxent. St. Jerome is the proper 

 harbor for small boats to make when approaching Point Lookout trom 

 the north. The channel is staked and inside is the pier and establish- 

 ment of the Fishery Commission. The chart shows this harbor, the 

 entrance to which is well buoyed. Horn Harbor, however, similarly 

 located with regard to New Point, has not even soundings, though 

 buckeves drawing Eft. go in and out, I am told. Thus, it will be seen 

 that much can be learned by pumping trustworthy local sources and 

 nights spent in snug anchorage grounds instead of putting up with 

 open roadsteads, if sailing by chart only. Concerning the eastern 

 shore I am unable to speak. It has many large, outlymg shoals, and 

 is difficult to approach, with the exception of the prmcipal rivers, 

 notably the Choptauk, This is a fine sheet of water, with beautiful 

 scenery in its upper windings. There are many interesting and 

 pretty towns on the eastern shore, such as Cambridge, Oxford and 

 Easton well worth a visit, and I hope some day to steer my bark up 

 that coa=t on a general voyage of discovery. No doubt some readers 



of Forest and Stream are quite familiar with the lay of the land and 

 can give desired information. In Rothrock's "Vacation Cruises" the 

 shore is extensively described. C. P. K. 



MARINE GLUE.— This substance, though little known in America, 

 is in general use abroad, not only about yachts and boats, for which 

 purpose it is specially adapted, but for such purposes as coating 

 galvanic batteries, and for all waterproof joints. It is used exclusively 

 in England for yachts' decks, instead of white lead putty, the advan- 

 tage being that 'it is elastic, expanding and contracting with the wood, 

 and thus leaving no openings for the water. The deck seams are 

 usually a little wider than is usual here, to allow a good body of 

 glue. No grease must be used on the caulking iron, but in large work 

 the latter maybe dipped in naptha, water, or coal oil instead of 

 linseed oil. The presence ot grease on the wood will prevent the 

 glue adhering. The method of melting marine glue is as* follows: 

 Cut the glue into small pieces, melt in a pot or cauldron over any 

 moderate fire, keeping it stirred now and then. When the glue is alt 

 melted the heat is about 212 degrees Fahr., but rather too thick to 

 run freely, and if used in this state air bubbles may arise, therefor it 

 requires boiling and stirring a few minutes longer, and should be 

 used at a heat of 250 to 300 degrees Fahr., it then becomes 



perfectly 



liquid, and should be used as quickly as possible. The glue never 

 boils over into the fire like pitch, but the contact of flame will ignite 

 it, and it will burn entirely away. Should it take fire it may be 

 covered with a carpet or cloth wf ich will smother the flames. Marine 

 glue is nlso largely used for double skin boats, a layer of muslin being 

 laid in glue between the two thicknesses of planks. The makers are 

 Messrs? Jeffreys & Co., whose address may be found in our advertis- 

 ing columns. 



OSWEGO Y. C- A meeting of the Executive Committee of the 

 Oswego Y. C. was held Feb. 26. Commodore Phelps appointed July 

 3 as the day for the start on the annual cruise, and Charlotte as the 

 port of destination. The. yachts of the Royal Canadian and Toronto 

 Y. C. will be invited to meet the Oswego fleet on the one hundred and 

 tenth anniversary of our independence, and the event will be duly 

 celebrated. The initiattion was raised from $10 to $15. The Commo- 

 dore appointed the following committees: Regatta Committee— 

 Chas. N. Worts, chairman; Robert S. Sloan, William Gordon. Fred 

 Conde, Jas. D. Henderson, William E. Lee, Allen Poucher. House 

 Committee— John D. Phelps, chairman; Geo. N. Burt. Nicholas C. 

 Goble. Committee on Admission— Elliot B. Mott, chairman; John P. 

 Tuttle, James F. Herrick. Oapt. A. Fitzgerald was appointed Assist- 

 ant Measurer. A general revision of the club book was submitted to 

 th° committee by Chairman Chas. A. Worts, and a committee was 

 appointed, consisting of the Commodore and Messrs. Worts and Don- 

 nelly, to attend to the publication of the new book. A club meeting 

 wilt' be held soon at which three delegates will be elected to represent 

 the club at the International Lake Yacht Racing Association meet- 

 ing, which is to convene at Oswego on May 8. when officers will be 

 elected for the Association for 1886 and the general condition of 

 yachting affsirs will be canvassed. 



NEWARK Y. C— The annual meeting of the Newark Y. C. was 

 held on March 1, Commodore Edward M. Groves presiding. The re- 

 ports tor the past year were read, showing the club to be in a flour- 

 ishing condition financially. The following officers were elected: 

 Commodore, Thomas W. Dawson, schooner Sea Witch; Vice-Com- 

 modore. Hardy Bush, sloop Cloud; Recording Secretary, Charles H. 

 Mayhew: Financial Secretary. Thomas Luff; Treasurer, Stratford 

 J. Cullen, sloop Winifred; Measurer, George Hartung, Jr.,. Board 

 of Trustees: Charles Cameron. Emmy C. ; William B. Adams, Triton, 

 and Lysander Wright, Jr.. Duplex. After the election Mr. Charles 

 Cameron presented Edward M. Grover, the retiring Commodore, with 

 a handsome yacht cannon. Alter all business was concluded the club 

 sat down to a dinner. The Regatta Committee wUl at once arrange 

 dates for the events of next season: they will be announced as soon 

 as fixed and the committee hope to present such attractions as will 

 draw a full list of entries. 



YACHTING NOTES. -Oswego— A new yacht is nearly planked, and 

 bios fair to warm some of the fast ones which generally have things 

 their own way -in the prizes. She will be about 37ft. long and lift, 

 beam. Major Burke is her designer and builder, a guarantee that 

 she will be an honest boat . . .The sale of the sloop yacht Ariadne, of 

 Cold Spring, which has gone the rounds of the nautical press as being 

 purchased by a party in Oswego, is regarded as a mistake, as no one 

 willing to shoulder the responsibility can be discovered — Webber, of 

 South Boston, is building a keel boat for Mr. S. J. Wood, of Somer- 

 ville. "\iass. She wilL be 22ft, Sin. over all, 19ft. waterline, 7ft. beam 

 and 3ft. draft, with a loin, keel and a shoe of 500 pounds. She will be 

 sloop rigged. .. King Phillip, Dr. C. G. Weld, will go into commission 

 this season . . . .Carlotta, schooner, arrived at St. Kitts on March 6. . . . 

 Rival, sloop. Messrs. Converse & Sanford. New Haven, Y. C, has 

 been sold to Messrs. Hope & Copman, Atlantic Y. C. 



OPEN BOAT SAILING.— Mr. Tyrrell E, Biddle has added another 

 to his well-known handbooks on yachts and boats, in a little volume 

 entitled, 'Amateur Sailing in Open and Hilf-Decked Boats." Mr. 

 Biddle has had a large experience sailing, and his book contains much 

 useful advice to the young navigator, and the hints and directions are 

 good, especially in their plain speaking as to caution in sailing. As 

 much cannot be said as to the boats and rigs described and the draw- 

 ings of them, as the former are mostly old-fashioned and clumsy, 

 while the cuts give very poor ideas of the boats and sails. Mr. Biddle 

 condemns the balance lug, for which we do not blame him if it is 

 rigged as shown in tne illustrations; but we cannot, at this time, 

 agree with his high opinion of the sprit. The latter chapters contain 

 useful receipts for painting, etc. , and hints on the care of boats, which 

 will be valuable to all young yachtsmen. The book is published by 

 Norie & Wilson, London. 



A RIDING CHOCK FOR CATBOATS. — Saugatuck, Conn., Feb. 27. 

 -Editor Forest and Stream: Many of your readers, myself among 

 the number, are watching Mr. Kunhardt's progress with the Coot 

 with a great deal of interest, and am sure that he carries with him 

 the best wishes of us all for his success and pleasure. The catboats 

 on Long Island Sound are fitted with a short bowsprit, 2 or 3ft. out 

 board, with a bobstay and forestay. On OBe side an ordinary riding 

 chock is fitted as in most sloops. If Mr. K. would use it on the Coot 

 he would have less trouble in getting up his anchor in rough water, 

 and by leading the painter aft to the cockpit could give bis boat way 

 to windward and have the tiller within reach. Besides this advantage 

 he will find that the Coot will ride easily at anchor with this rig. 

 Give the Coot a chance, Mr. K., and she will carry you through in 

 safety.— Cat. 



CRUISER. — Mr. Alley is having a small cabin trunk added to the 

 Cruiser, so that he may use her for duck shooting in the spring and 

 fall The trunk will be 1ft. high forward, 2ft. aft, with a good crown, 

 and will be about 8ft. long, making a cosy little cabin for sleeping. 

 The sides and top are of half-inch pine, covered with canvas, and the 

 entire affair is so fitted as to be readily removed by withdrawing a 

 few screws A washboard oin. high has also been added forward, 

 extending about 10ft. aft. McWhirter, of West Brighton, is doing 

 the work. The Cruiser will eome out as a cat. 



PILGRIM. — Dr. W. H. Winslow wishes to dispose of his cutter Pil- 

 erim the cruise of which was so charmingly described in our columns. 

 The Doctor was so well satisfied with the boat's behavior under trying 

 circumstances, that he has decided to build a larger one of the same 

 kind. 



A SMALL AUXILIARY YACHT.— A trial has been made at Dart- 

 mouth during the past week with an Itchen Ferry sailing boat fitted 

 as an auxiliary, by Messrs. Simpson & Dennison.'with a small set of 

 their Kingdon's patent compound surface condensing machinery. 

 The boat is 20ft. in length, has a beam of 7ft. 6in., and was found to 

 have a speed of about Ave miles an hour. The machinery consists of 

 a vertical natural draft boiler, with a diameter of 2ft,, and standing 

 2ft. lin. above the floor boards, the small engine close alongside only 

 occupying a round space of 1ft. 6in. by 9m .. from which it will be seen 

 that a very small space is taken up in the well of the boat, and that 

 the whole machinery, cased in, forms in the center a small table about 

 Stt. high, without interfering with the accommodation .— The Field, 

 Feb. 27. 



NEW SHARPIES. — Mr. Clapham is now building four Nonpareil 

 sharpie yachts. Three of them are each 27}^f t. in length by about 

 7ft. beam, and will draw 9in. water with centerboard up. All will 

 have the Roslyn yawl rig. One of these yachts will be owned in 

 Providence, one on Staten Island, and the third goes to Norfolk, Va. 

 Mr. Clapham is just beginuing work on a Nonpareil sharpie single- 

 hand keel yacht for a New York gentleman. She will be 24ft. in 

 length, and will draw 30in. water. This boat will be similar to the 

 one illustrated on page 233 of "Small Yachts," except that she will 

 have the Roslyn yawl rig, which lig is becoming a decided favorite, 

 when handiness coupled with speed is needed. There is at present a 

 very greatly increased demand for single-hand cruising yachts. 



ATLANTIC Y. O— The annual meeting of the Atlantic Y. C. was 

 held on Monday, in their club rooms. No, 41 Court street, Brooklyn. 

 The following officers weie elected: Commodore, H. H. Hogins; Vice- 

 Commodore, F. C. Swan; Rear Commodore, E C. Sterling; Recording 

 Secretary, R. S. Church : Treasurer. R. C. Field ; Measurer, W. C. 

 Laenger; Corresponding Secretary, J. L. Marcellus. Directors, Win. 

 Peet. S. Lo : nes, N. D. Lawton. J. R. Maxwell, A. H, Farrington and 

 W. H. Thomas. Yacht Committee, J. T. Van Wyck, C. T. Pierce, \V. 

 T. Wintringham. Membership Committee. W. W. Richards. T, L. 

 Arnold, Henry Earle. The annual regatta will take place on June 15. 



INTER-LAKE YACHTING ASSOCIATION.— A meeting of the Inter- 

 lake Yachting Association, formed at Ballast Island last. July, was 

 held at Toledo, O., on March 6, with Commodore Gardner, of Cleve- 

 land, in the chair. It was decided to meet in Detroit on July 5 and 6, 

 and to cruise thence to Pnt-in-Bay The officers, chosen at Put-in- 

 Bay last year, are: Commodore, G. W. Gardner, Cleveland; Vice- 

 Commodore, H. C. Hart, Detroit ; Rear-Commodore, A. W. Machen, 

 Toledo; Secretary and Treasurer, J. S. Williams, Cleveland. 



THREE SCORE YEARS AND HEARTY. — Capt. Coffin, the old- 

 time favorite among the yachting reporters, celebrated his sixtieth 

 birthday on the 8th. He was overwhelmed with congratulation and 

 good wishes from every side, while the way in which he spliced the 

 main brace from the bumpkin away up to the eyeboll of the raain- 

 yardarm would have turned any sailorman green with envy. 



JERSEY CITY Y. C— At the annual meeting of th° Jersey City Y. 

 O, held at their rooms on Tuesday, March 4, 1886, the following 

 officers were elected for the ensuing year: Commodore, H. B. Pierson; 

 Vice-Commodore, C. A. Smith; Secretary, C. C. Pierce; Treasurer, 

 Geo. Hawes; Measurer, G. L. Winn. 



ICE YACHTS.— Several races were sailed at Hyde Park on March 

 3 in a high wind. Com. Rogers sailed the St. Nicholas against the 

 Bessie, three races, each of seven miles, winning every time. 



ST. JOHNS RIVER TO NEW ORLEANS.— A correspondent asks 

 the best route from St.^ohns River, Fla., to New Orleans, in a 22ft. 

 steam launch. 



The wonderful growth of athletic sports in this country is well 

 illustrated by the handsome and very complete catalogue of sporting 

 goods just issued by A. G. Spalding & Bros., of Chicago and New 

 York. It is a large size book of 180 pages, and contains over 1 000 

 separate illustrations of the various articles used by sportsmen, 

 together with a complete description and prices of each article. In 

 addition to its value as a catalogue, it also contains the latest sport- 

 ing rules governing all kinds of outdoor and indoor sports and pas- 

 times, which is well worth the price asked for the book.— Adi\
