Floating a Stranded Tacht. 



A PECtJLiAH case of wreckage and of clever salvage was that of the 

 schooner yacht Pi-iscilla, of New York, which went ashore two miles 

 west of Watch Hill, Conn., in a fog on Aug. 28. The yacht has a draft 

 of 9ft., and struck on the rocks at Kapatree Point, dragged over them 

 and went ashore on Napatree Beach, inside the point and toward 

 Watch Hill. The ladles were landed through the surf by the lone 

 captain of the life-saving station, as he then had no crew, and on the 

 following day a severe storm landed the yacht well up on the beach, 

 where it was supposed she would become a total wreck. Being a 

 strong vessel, however, she stood the "racket" first rate, but the 

 wreckers wanted a large sum to get her oS. 



The owner, Albert A. Wright, of Plainfleld, N. .T., with the aid of 

 Implements furnished him by Messrs. Maxson & Co., of Westerly, and 

 others, decided to save her himself if possible, and on Sept. 28 she 

 again slid into the water apparently as sound a yacht as ever, but at 

 a point 1,000ft. away from where she had landed and into the Narra- 

 gansett Bay instead of the ocean. By the use of jacks she was raised 

 and a cradle placed under her, and by means of rollers she was moved 

 over the bank to the bay side of the beach and along the shore 1,000ft. 

 to a convenient location, where she was righted up and launched into 

 deep water. Before launching, her seams were recalked where neces- 

 sary, her bottom painted and sails again bent, and the following day 

 Bheleft for City Island under her own sail to have her cabin refitted. 

 No little credit for the work is due J. Irving JIaxson, who took a 

 very practical interest in its execution.— jMorime Journal. 



Secretaries of canoe clubs are requested to send to Forest and 

 Steeam their addresses, with name, membership, signal, etc., of their 

 clubs, and also notices in advance of meetings and races, and report of 

 the same. Canoeists and all interested in ca.noeing are requested to 

 forward to Forest ajs'D Stream then- addresses, with logs of cruises, 

 maps, and information concernmg their local waters, drawings or 

 descriptions of boats and fittings, and all items relatmg to the sport. 



More About Camp Sites. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



K "all roads lead to Rome," and the Thousand Islands is the canoe- 

 men's Rome, as your correspondent "A Radical Conservative" would 

 have us believe, then there are many A. C. A. men in the Eastern Di- 

 vision who will never see "Rome." The Thousand Island district pre- 

 sents many pleasant features to the tourist, or cruiser, but it is far too 

 remote for the majority of the A. C. A. men in the United States. The 

 ideal camp site for a camping and racing meeting should be upon wa- 

 ters without tides or currents, and without islands to chop up the 

 winds. Lake Champlain has every advantage that the St. Lawrence 

 enjoys, and has none of its drawbacks. Your correspondent before 

 alluded to remarks that Champlain, among others, is reached practi- 

 cally by only one road. On the west side this is true, but that one 

 road reaches the north fairly well, the south excellently, draining, as 

 it were, the most populous portion of the Atlantic and Central Divis- 

 ions. From the Eastern Division there are three distinct roads at 

 least, covering that entire division. The "narrow and selfish" policy 

 has never obtained in selecting the sites for previous meets, and pro- 

 bably never will. Champlain is on the extreme boundary of the East- 

 em Division, ditto of the Central, and is entirely away from the Atlan- 

 tic Division. Canada has never been better represented at an A. C. A. 

 meet than at that held at .Tessup's Neck, excepting, of course, those 

 held in her own waters. Champlain is central. Champlain is desirable 

 in itself, and it is easily reached without transshipment except when 

 the Eastern men cross the lake. My word is for Lake Champlain, and 

 my tellow men in the eastern limits of the A. C A. will not go five or 

 six Hundred miles to a meet when the necessity does not exist. Our 

 radical-conservative friend must be a mugwump, as the two terms do 

 not gibe in the same breath, any more than Champlain and St. Law- 

 rence are to be mentioned in the same category. The former is "in it," 

 the latter is "not in it." 



Now, a word about the camp. I will give my reasons for the de- 

 crease in canoeing interest at the meets, if you will have it. The 

 deadly "dude" is responsible for it, and the women in camp are respon- 

 sible for the presence of the D. D. "We don't look gay m our camp 

 array, but we're dudes when we're in town," as that charming camp 

 song puts it, that's a pretty sentiment, but the trouble is that we do 

 look gay in our camp array. Canoemen are, as a rule, fond of 

 getting away from the convenlionalities of city and summer hotel life. 

 Your real canoeist likes to "wear a grease spot on his pants," and 

 when he strikes one modern meet with its spotted flannels, its "clean 

 shaves," and its hotel mess, he never goes to another. I am speakinj- 

 now of that which has fallen upon my eai-s about the healths ol 

 several clubs in the East. "We're dudes when we're in town," that 

 no one will find fault with, but as for going to a "swell" A. C. A. meet 

 the idea is incompatible w^ith true canoeing sentiment. I want no 

 more of it, and as it seems likely to continue as long as the women 

 run the camp, my face will long be absent about the camp-fires of my 

 fathers. Sorry? Sorry is no name for it, for no more enjoyable time 

 can be imagined than a true canoeists' camp. Joy is unconfined at 

 such, and entertainment is spontaneous and contagious. Why, we 

 will be having printed programmes for camp-fires if this state of 

 things contmues. Stop it! Ilex. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In connection with the matter of a camp site for the 'iM meet and 

 yom- recent remarks as to the objectionable features of both Jessup's 

 Neck and Chimmon's Island, it would seem a difficult matter to find a 

 suitable site for a salt-water meat. My first A. C. A. meet was at Jes- 

 sup's, and though I had trouble getting there, I enjoyed it from begin- 

 ning to end. 1 have always thought that with good transportation 

 facilities and a good caterer, I should be glad to go there again, and I 

 have heard other A. C. A. men voice the same sentiments. It surely 

 was a big meet in regai-d to attendance, and the interest in the racing 

 was vei'y notable. To be sure, it would mean lots of work for the offi- 

 cers. At Willsborough last year I spent two weeks. One was rainy 

 and the other wasn't; but I enjoyed both so much that 1 cannot tell 

 which pleased me the most. Every one was good-natured even in the 

 rain— for Winne was there— and appreciated the good weatber which 

 followed; and even the "pirate" at Jessup's caused no more excite 

 ment than many of the squalls which came and went so suddenly on 

 the lake. I received a letter from a well-known canoeist recently, and 

 venture to quote his ideas: "As regards the big meet for '04, my" views 

 are fresh but my taste is salt. Somewhere near Norwalk Islands, if 

 possible. New York is a good base of supplies and Norwalk is far 

 enough away away to give us the privacy we desire. Champlain is a 

 very satisfactory site, too, and a choice would be hard to decide upon." 

 His views agree with mine perfectly, except that I have that lingering 

 fondness foi- Pecouic Bay. In connection with the last, I would add 

 that New London has daily communication with Greenport and Sag 

 Harbor by steamer. F. B. Lewis. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Having read with a good deal of interest the discussion of the next 

 A. C. A. camp site in the last few numbers of the paper I would like 

 to say my httle say in thy matter. The ugh an Atlantic Division mem- 

 ber I do not like salt water meets. Jessup's Neck was bad enough 

 according to description (1 wasn't tliere), but if anything wor.se can 

 be imagined than a bald, iminhabited i.sland like Chimmons, with no 

 shade, a bad beach, 6 or Tft. ri.se and fall of tide, and mosquitoes 

 galore, as a place for a canoe meet, 1 haven't seen it. The St. Law- 

 rence, to my mind, cannot be beaten, especially in the neighborhood 

 of Clayton or Gananoque. I have been there, and I know. It is a 

 pretty far cry from auywbei'e south or east of New York city, but it 

 is a case of go further and fare very much better. 



Hike the idea of a semi-permanent place for the camp very much. 

 Going back to the same place, while it may lack novelty to some 

 members, will be an added attraction to others, especially to the 

 racers, who will be better acquainted with the waters. Add to this 

 the greatly lessened cost and trouble to the division having the meet 

 in charge, and the better arrangement possible, and you have such 

 an array of advantages as completely offsets anything to be said 

 against the idea. JVIathjiob D. Wilt (Red Dragon C. C.J. 



Philadelphia, Oct. 12. 



The Racing Bides. 



Editor Forest and fftream: 



Although a recruit in the ranks, I am now ready to concede the 

 truth of the unwritten law that all canoeists are cranks, and with a 

 desire to gain another step toward the .SSd degree, I beg to express 

 my opinions upon the subject of racing and the amelioration thereof. 



In the columns of the recent editions of your paper have appeared 

 various articles from the pen of a man. who by virtue of his years 

 and experience possesses the abifity to- discern the causes of the pres- 

 ent lack of interest in canoe rilcing and who is also good enough to 

 suggest the proper remedy. I mean Vaux. His arguments eoncern- 

 iug the changes in the A. C A. racing rules and the gentle manner in 

 which he handles the men who have long and loud complaints to make 

 at the meet, and still make no effort to right the evil, are certainly to 

 be commended. 



I have never had an opportunity to attend any of the meets, but it 

 Boenia to me that additional intei'est in the racing programme at camp 



can best be attained by stimulating the racing at home. The point 

 has been raised by many that the cost of the present racing machine 

 is enough to discourage the junior element from building. This is true 

 enough to a certain extent, but what about the reputable canoeists of 

 to-day who are building cruisef s? La Gloria, Scarecrow, Infanta, et al. 

 Now, Mr. Editor, I personally know a gentleman who admitted that he 

 could not possibly have squandered (if the expression may be per- 

 naitted) more money on his cruiser unless, perchance, he had utilized 

 gold or that much abused metal, silver, for fittings. 



As a matter of fact, these men are evidently not the individuals who 

 have complained of the cost entailed in building a fm de &iicle canoe; 

 neither have I any desire to speak disparagingly of these rakish craft 

 now becommg so popular. But I do contend that the genial owners 

 of these boats are responsible for the evil, as it were, resulting from 

 their inviting canoemen on board. Three men can be comfortably 

 accommodated on one of these new creations, and it is easy to under- 

 stand how few men, if any, are left for scrap canoe races after the 

 various cruisers have been manned. 



I am now dwelling on tiie aflPairs of the New York Canoe Club as the 

 conditions exist to my eyes, and while I do not wish to be personal. I 

 cannot help expressing my belief that the cruisers of this type are 

 not a little to blame for the absence of racing men from the club 

 house this summer. Nor does the interest in this style of craft show 

 any_ signs of diminishing. On the contrary, within the last few days, 

 I might say, there was an animated discussion at the club as to the 

 difference between an 18-footer and an 18-rater, and as to whether or 

 not unanimity of action in the establishment of an 18ft. class would 

 not be advisable. It is quite possible that I am wrong as to the cor- 

 rect definition of the class, but the enthusiasm aroused certainly had 

 nothing to do with canoes. What will become of canoeing if all of 

 our racing men encourage this style of building? 



Now, if I am mistfiken in my theory that home racing will incite 

 active competition at the meets, I hope some one will be kind enough 

 to give me the tip and I will subside. In the meantime I must express 

 my feeling of regret that interest in racing has reached that point 

 when it becomes conspicuous by its almost total absence in such a 

 representative organization of canoeists as is the New York C. C. 

 And this is particularly discouraging to new men, more so in view of 

 the fact that the location of the club at Bensonhnrst affords its mem- 

 bers every opportunity to increase their experience in sailing under 

 such conditions of weather as exists on the St. Lawrence. Gravesend 

 Bay IS a superb body of water; the New York C. C. has among its 

 members many prominent racing canoeists, a fleet of boats embrac- 

 ing the old type of cruising canoe and the modern racing machine, 

 and still there has been no meritorious work done this year. Verily, 

 therefore, instead of scoring the regatta committee of the A. C. A. 

 why not start up the regatta committees of the individual clubs and 

 give us some inducements at home and then see what happens at the 

 meets, A. C. A. rules to the contrary. And will not the races outlined 

 by the regatta committees keep canoeists on their sUding seats rather 

 than on board the cruisers? J. C. Mowbrav. 



New York, Oct. 2. 



The New York C. C. 



The accompanying picture shows the house of the New York C. C. 

 on Oct. 15, after the storm. Fortunately the damage, though serious, 

 is much less than at first estimated. The house has been raised, the 



scow, framework and roof being in good condition, and the chief 

 damage being to the sidmg. The house is now at the Erie Basin for 

 the winter. The chiof loss is to the iadividual members, the property 

 in the lockers being damaged or totally spoiled, while many of the 

 canoes are more or less damaged. 



Canoeing as an Amateur Sport. 



When you have become discouraged over the prospect of amateur 

 sport maintaining the hale vigor of other days, with the pernicious in- 

 fluence of racing bicycling on'one side and the danger of degenerating 

 into a mere tail to fashion's kite on the other — when, indeed, you have 

 been taking yourself rather seriously, and reached the conclusion that 

 your doll is all sawdust— pack up your grip instantly, and make a bee- 

 line for the camp of the American Canoe Association. If you happen 

 to have this attack at a time of the year when there is no nleet. hunt 

 up the nearest canoeist of your acquaintance and "talk it over" with 

 hxm. 



If there is any surer or more thoroughly delightful manner of driving 

 dull care away than idling a few days at the canoe camp, it needs a 

 discoverer. Here the sportsman revels in the races, and rejoices that 

 for at least a couple of days he has escaped the element of greed, be- 

 coming, alas, too apparent in so many branches of our sport; the lay- 

 man saunters about the camp, attracted hither and thither by the pic- 

 turesque flag decorations and the trim, graceful canoes, wondering, 

 perhaps, at the uniform good nature that prevails everywhere. 



A visit to the camp is a wholesome t«nic of which our draughts can- 

 not be too deep. It is one big family of from two to tiiree hundred men 

 and women on the very best of terms with one another. No one seems 

 to have a thought for the morrow, except that it may bring forth suc- 

 cessful races iu the day, and a joUy car_Qp-flre at night. If these envia- 

 ble canoeists have cares— and where is the happy mortal free of them? 

 —at least they are not en evidence; they are put aside until after camp 

 breaks up. 



And these are pure sportsmen, these canoeists; none of your mug- 

 liunting, rule-evading variety we all know too well. No occasion here 

 for elaborate definitions of what constitutes an amateur. Every man 

 is a sportsman, and a sportsman requires no legislation to prompt 

 him on such questions, any more than does an honest man need an 

 officer of the law at his heel to keep him from stealing. As a matter 

 of fact, the honest man is the same whether posting accounts in a 

 banking house, paddling a canoe, riding a bicycle or playing football; 

 the athlete who is dishonest iu his sport only lacks the opportunity, 

 or fears the consequences, to be Mkewise in his business. The bicyclist 

 who evades the amateur law, makes false affidavits that he may con- 

 tinue to hoodwink the League of American Wheelman officials, and 

 cheat the public, would tamper with his employer's accounts with 

 equal complacency were the occasion ottering. 



The only legislation touching an amateur in the American Canoe 

 Association official book is where it provides that "any member who 

 is guilty of ungentlemanly conduct, or of racing for money, shall be 

 liable and may be expelled from the A. C. A.," and it is enough. 



I had come "near saying that canoeing is the only competitive sport 

 absolutel)' pure, but while I will not go so far, I will certainly assert 

 that it is the farthest removed from any unwholesome tendencies. 

 Every man pays his own expenses and the trophies are flags pre- 

 sented by different members of the Association, sometimes provided 

 for by .subscription among the more entJjusiastic, and not infre- 

 quently the wives and sisters of the canoeists make and present them 

 to the A. C. A.—Casjjar W. Whitney in Harper's Weekly. 



How Dr. Douglas "Won the "Victoria Cross. 



Those members of the A. C. A. who have attended the meets are 

 acquainted with Dr. C. M. Douglas, of Lakefleld, Canada, the famous 

 caMe cruiser and paddlei", and inventor of the Douglas folding boat. 

 It IS generally known that Dr. Douglas is the possessor of that coveted 

 trophy, a Victoria cross, but the story of how he won it, told as fol- 

 lows by a feUow canoeist, will be new to most of our readers: 



When the 24th Regiment was in Burmah a detachment was dis- 

 patched to the Little Andamans Islands to rescue the captain and 

 some of the crew of a British vessel who it was too truly surmised 

 had fallen victims to the savages. About 20 men formed the small 

 force under Lieut. Much, who was accompanied by Surgeon Douglas 

 and Lieut. Glassford, the last named as a volunteer. On arriving at 

 their destination they landed under a discharge of arrows, and soon 

 found conclusive evidence that their unfortunate countrymen bad 

 been barbarously murdered. When they wished to return they found 

 that their boats were so seriotisly injured as to be useless. Efforts 

 were made to get off on a raft, but the nature of the coast made this 

 impossible. Seeing the evident plight of their companions Dr. 

 Douglas and Privates Murphy, Cooper, Bell and Griffiths, of the 

 S4th, manned the second gig and made their way through the 

 surf almost to the shore. Finding their boats half filled with water 

 they returned, but only to make a second attempt, which proved suc- 

 cessful. Dr. Douglas and his crew managing to convey five of the 

 party which had landed safely through the surf to the boats outside. 

 On a third trip he removed the remainder, all being rescued except 

 Lieut. Glassford, who was di'owned. The official report eulogizes the 

 "intrepid, cool and collected" manner in which Dr. Douglas and his 

 comrades achieved their heroic task, and it is satisfactory to record 

 that the statutes of the order were for this occasion strained a little 

 to enable these five gallant men to receive the guerdon of the "Vic- 

 toria Cross." 



Amendments to A. C. A. Rules. 



In order to be voted on at the coming meeting of the A. C. A. execu- 

 tive committee on Nov. 4, all amendments to the constitution and sail- 

 ing rules must be published in the present issue of the Forest and 

 Stream. The regatta committee offers the following suggestions: A 

 rule is needed for defining whether a man may use more than one 

 canoe at any meet, as in a special race, say for open canoes. The rule 

 in the combined race should be made more explicit, so as to bar all 

 standing rigs that do not permit of the sail lowering on the mast, or 

 in which the mast has to be unshipped to lower the sail. 



The retiring secretary-treasm-er, Mr. Burns, calls attention to the 

 limitation to the ceuterboard in Ride I. as now printed, and suggests 

 that it be removed. 



The following amendments have also been suggested: 



Rule IX., third line, after word "appeal," strike out words "and the 

 decision, if unanimous, shall be final; if not unanimous." 



Rule 211., second line, after word "disabled" add "for back strokes." 



Rule XIS., second line, strike out words "with the wind free." 



Rear-Com. O. G. Belman suggests the following amendment to the 

 constitution, Article 4, Section 1 ; Honorary members may be elected 

 by a unanimous vote of the executive committee, providing that they 

 have been in attendance at a regular A. C. A. meet no less than three 

 years. 



A proposal is made by Mr. F. R. Webb to correct an error In the 

 boundaries of the Atlantic Division, making the reading, "Along the 

 middle range of the Alleghany Mountains." 



Zettler Rifle Club. 



The Zettler Rifle Club brought its summer shoot at Wissel's Cypress 

 Hills Park to a close on Oct. 22. The attendance during the season 

 has been rather unsatisfactory. Only 13 members filled out their 

 scores, leaving three prizes to fall back into the treasury. When the 

 programme was made up it was expected that there would be an 

 average attendance of at least the full number of the prizes on the 

 programme. But bad business and want of interest upon the part of 

 the members, has caused the unsatisfactory results. On the last shoot 

 Fred. C. Ross made the brilliant score of 2.34 points out of a pos- 

 sible 250. Henry Holges was also in good form, and shot himself into 

 the second position on the prize list. C'has. C Wlssel, the proprietor 

 of the park, after the close of the shoot invited those present to par- 

 take of a venison dinner which be had gotten up for the occasion. 

 The energy with which the hungry shooters attacked Mr. Wissel's 

 layout showed that these same shooters were at home with the knife 

 and fork as well as in front of the target. The scores are appended, 

 10 shots, 3 scores to count:

Rifle Note from the Golden Gate. 



San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 8.— In issue of your journal of Sept. 3S, it 

 is stated that a report is iu circulation that the California shooters 

 would like to have another go with the Zettler Club, who defeated the 

 15-man team of the CaUfornia Schuetzen Club, two years ago in a 

 match at 200yds., 50 shots per man. I was one of the prime movers as 

 well as a participant in that match. The contest was very close; 750 

 shots were fired by each team on the German 25-ring target. The 

 Zettlers won by a very small margin — ^72 rings only. If It were possible 

 for teams from each club to meet on a common range, I think the 

 Calif ornians would "try, try again;" though this proposition has not 

 beeti agitated here, notwithstanding the aforesaid rumor. 



The San Francisco Schuetzen Verein, our local oldest rifle organiza- 

 tion, has definitely decided to put up a couple of thousands to be shot 

 for during the continuance of the coming "Mid-Winter Fair." The 

 final details of the programme are not yet definitely decided upon, 

 though I am informed the objectionable system pursued by Chicago 

 will be adopted here, viz., two shooting days of each week (Sundays 

 and Mondays) during February and March, '94. However, as the 

 round trip rates from eastern points are to be very low, we con- 

 fidently expect that some of our eastern feUow-riflemeu will visit us. 



The Rifle and Pistol Club, held its monthly medal contest at Shell 

 Mound Park to-day. This is the second shoot of the rifle department 

 and much friendly emulation was shown among the riflemen partici- 

 pating. Scores were as follows;
