Canoe and Camp Cookery. 



By "SENECA." 



A practiceJ cook book for canoeists, Corinthiam sailors and outers. Practical because 

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

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

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

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