Canoe and Gamp Gookery- 



By "SENECA." 



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

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

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

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

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