SCOPE OF THE VOLUME. 



Few new buj^ers of steam yachts have more than a vague comprehension of the driving power of their vessels, and few 

 frave the time or inclination to enter upon a prolonged scientific study of the theory of steam machinery, particularly when 

 the practical results to them do not seem proportional to the efforts put forth. This volume is iutended to be sufficiently 

 comprehensive, and elementary at the same time, to suit the yacht owner's object of acquiring a general understanding of 

 the subject as a whole, with specific information and data covering the most recent practice.— From Author's Preface.

WILD INDIAN LIFE. 



PAWNEE 



HERO STORIES AND FOLK-TALES. 



With Notes on the Origin, Customs and 

 Character of the Pawnee People, 



By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL ("YO.") 



Cloth, 417 pages. 



Illustrated. 



Price $2.00. 



Pawnee customs and beliefs are richly illustrated by the folk-tales 

 and in the copious notes Mr. Grinnell gives an uncommonly spirited ac 

 count of Pawnee life in peace and in war. There is an account of the 

 defense of a Pawnee village by 200 sick men, cripples, old men and 

 squaws, against 600 Sioux warriors, which for sheer gallantry and in- 

 domitable pluck will match almost anything in military history. The 

 Pawnee warriors were all away at the time, and the Sioux counted upon 

 an easy victory. But the Pawnee cripples and women actually beat them 

 off after a hard day's fighting, and at last so terrorized them that the 

 bold assailants fled in panic and sustained a heavy loss. Mr. Grinnell 

 also has written a picturesque and vivacious sketch of one of the last 

 Pawnee buffalo hunts, in which the Indians commonly reverted to prim- 

 itive weapons and usages, often hunting quite naked with no other arms 

 than their bo svs and arrows. A particularly interesting part of the book 

 is that which treats of the Pawnee doctors or medicine men. The state- 

 ments of Mr. Grinnell show the possession by some of these men of a 

 kind of skill in sleight-of-hand far beyond that usually attributed to In- 

 dians; some of the facts here described are as puzzling and unaccount- 

 able as those performed by the famous jugglers and fakirs of Hindostan, while one of their 

 tricks is a close parellel to the East Indian mango ieat. . . . Those who desire to learn 

 of the many other wonders done by the Indian doctors must refer to its pages for themselves. 

 As it is certainly one of the best works on Indian life, legend and character that has been 

 written for a long time, it should obtain a wide circulation. — N. Y, Tribune.

Canoe and Camp Cookery. 



Bv "SENEGA." 



A piactical cook book for canoeists, Corinthian 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 differ from the 

 absurdly impracticable 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 

 Cloth, 98 pages. Price $1.00.
