methods that would not he advisable in larger yachts. A good ex- 
ample of this is found in the skipjack Myra, illustrated in the Forest 
add Stbbam of Nov. 3, 1894, the construction being novel and uncon- 
ventional, but perfectly adapted for the special end in view. 
In the present boat the construction is identical with that of large 
yachts, and the amateur who follows it out carefully, studying the 
use, the proportions and the fastenings of each member, need not be 
afraid, if he succeeds in this attempt, to venture on a larger and more 
pretentious craft. The absence of a counter removes the most seri- 
ous difficulty in the way of the amateur builder, and leaves something 
for him to learn even after he has turned out a satisfactory canoe- 
yawl; but with this exception the construction is identical with that 
of the best yachts of such size as the amateur is likely to aspire to. 
The first step is the "laying down" of the lines, or the duplication, 
on some convenient floor and to the full size, of the lines as already 
published. This is done by means of the following table of offsets, 
which, contrary to our usual practice, are to the inside of the plank- 
ing and decking. The fractions in the table represent eighths of an 
inch. 
After the lines are laid down on the floor, moulds are made from 
}£in. stuff for the stem, stern knee and the twelve sawn frames, shown 
as shaded in the sheerplan. The pattern for the iron keel is made full 
size from the lines on the floor: it may be worked to shape out of a 
single piece of common white pine. An allowance of J^in. per foot is 
usually made for the shrinkage of iron in casting, and the pattern 
should be larger than the lines in this proportion. Core prints are 
affixed for the core holes for the bolts, which are %in. in diameter. 
The holes may be cored %in„ with a square recess for the head of each 
bolt on the bottom of the keel. It is well to have the casting made at 
the start, as there is no telling its exact size; it may vary more or less 
in cooling, and the oak keel and deadwoods should be accurately 
fitted to it at the start. If for any reason the keel cannot be cast until 
later, care should be taken that it mil be, if anything, narrower and 
not wider than the wood keel. 
The stem and sternpost will each be got out from knees, of hack- 
matack or oak, sided 2}^in. The head of the stem will be left square up 
to the top; it is usual to carry the bevel of the stem right up to the 
deck in catboats and sloops of the old models, as in all rowboats; but 
a much more shipshape finish follows from leaving the stemhead 
square, to take the gammon strap, stopping the bevel just below. 
The average boat builder or ship carpenter, however, will, if not 
watched, have the whole stem beveled before there is time to stop 
him. 
The sternpost can be gotten out very nicely from a knee, one part 
forming the deadwoods. The grain should run straight down the 
after side of the post. 
The rudder stock, of oak or locust, will be tapered from 2>£in. diam- 
eter at the head to 1 j#n. at the heel, being rounded for about two-thirds 
of the circumference along the lower part. The sternpost has the 
same taper, and in its after side a groove of circular section muBt be 
cut to fit the rudder. The rabbets will be laid out on stem and stern, 
the rabbet line and bearding line being shown in the drawing; the 
stem will be roughly beveled, leaving a little wood'to finish upon; 
the score will be cut in the sternpost, and then they are ready for the 
keel. 
The keel is of oak, 4in. wide and 5in. deep, the depth being uniform 
throughout, while the width diminishes to meet the stem and stern- 
post. It is squared up, the rabbet is marked and roughed out, and a 
tenon %X5in. is cut on the after end to fit a corresponding mortise in 
the sternpost. 
If the keel casting is ready it is now placed on the wood keel, both 
being turned bottom up, and the holes for the bolts are bored with a 
9 i 6 in. ship auger. 
The after deadwood is now fitted to the iron and wood keels, then 
the wood keel is set up on blocks, the stem is fitted and clamped fast 
and secured with a couple of %\rt. blunt bolts, common round iron riv- 
eted over iron washers The sternpost is next fitted, a couple of oak 
pins driven through the tenon, and a couple of spikes through the 
fore end of the horizontal arm into the keel. 
At each sawn frame a cross floor of oak is required. These will be 
of lin. oak plank, the shapes being gotten from the lines on the floor. 
Bach -will be jogged down over the Seel, a limber hole being first cut, 
and in its upper side a jog 8x%in. will be cut for the keelson. This is 
also of oak, 3xlJ<>> n -> and as tnere is absolutely no space to waste in 
this part of the boat, it will be jogged down into the floors, as already 
described, the floors being notched, and not the keelson, when floors 
and keelson are in place, a %in, bolt will be driven through the keelson 
and the fore end of the keel, and two such bolts will be driven through 
the keelson and each floor and down through the keel, with^washers on 
each end. In this way the stem, keel, keelson, floor and sternpost are 
thoroughly fastened together, entirely independent of the iron keel 
bolts. 
Now the whole frame is turned until it lies horizontally on the 
blocks, the after deadwood is finally fitted and bolted through the 
keel and sternpost, and the iron keel is again put in place. The long 
ship auger is again run through the holes until it comes out on top of 
the keelson. The holes made in the keelson are then each plugged 
with hard wood, and with an expansion- bit a hole just large enough 
in diameter to take a %\n. nut and allow it to be set up, and just deep 
enough for the nut and washer, is bored on top ihe keelson. Therest 
of the hole, which, it will be remembered, was originally but 9 la in. 
diameter, is then bored out %in. 
After all the holes are bored, the keel is moved back an inch or so, 
and as each bolt ia pushed through, a grommet, made of oakum 
soaked in white lead, is slipped over it. The bolts are now driven 
home until they show flush with the top of the keelson or projecting a 
little. Before they are set up a block of wood about 2in. square, not 
shown in the drawings, is slipped in between keel and keelson just 
beside each bolt, unless a floor happens to come within an inch or so, 
in which case the block may be omitted. The frame is turned up to 
its proper position and the nuts are set up as tight as possible, draw- 
ing the iron keel closely into place. 
Now the Btop-waters are put in at each seam, of J^in, dry white 
pine, and the rabbets are finally trimmed out. Jogs are also cut for 
the heels of every frame. The whole frame is then set finally on the 
keel blocks, the waterline, as marked from the floor on stem and stern- 
post is set level, and the ends are plumbed until every part is true and 
fair and firmly shored and braced. 
The frames are of two kinds, sawn and bent, the former being the 
larger. They are gotten out from knees of the proper sweep either 
of oak or hackmatack, the latter being preferable on account of the 
lessened weight. They are sided lin. and moulded l^in. at the heels 
lJ4in. at the first bilge clamp, and fj^in. at the extreme heads. They 
are spaced 18in. apart, as shown; tne heel of each is well set into the 
keel and fastened with a boat nail, and each is also fastened to the 
floor beside it. For fastening the heels of all frames to the keel the 
common galvanized boat nail may be used. The floors and frames 
may be fastened with stout copper boat nails riveted over burrs or 
with galvanized iron nails. As the scantlings are light throughout it 
will be best to use copper nails, well riveted, for all through fasten- 
ings, as planking, clamps, etc. The cost on so small a craft is hardly 
an item. ■ 
After the sawn frames are in position, cross spalls of the proper 
length, as taken from the floor, are set across the heads of each pair 
of timbers, a center mark on each being brought into position by a 
line stretched from the stemhead to head of sternpost. When the 
frames are thus regulated and firmly shored, ribbands of rough stuff 
of such siza as will just bend easily, are run around them, being 
tacked to each frame with a small wire nail. The wale or upper 
strake, %in. thick and 4in. wide amidships, tapering to 3in. at the ends 
is then got out, of clear Georgia pine, or of mahogany if an extra 
finish is required, and put in place. 
The steamed frames will be sawn from clear, straight-grained oak 
to finish ^X^in., and are spaced two between each two sawn frames' 
or 6m. apart on centers. The heels are jogged into the keel and nailed 
fast, but there are no floors on these frames. They may be bent 
nearly to shape, sprung into the boat, the heel nailed fast and then 
clamped to each ribband, a nail being put through each ribband in 
place of the clamp as the latter is removed. After all the bent frames 
are in, the garboards will be got out, also of clear Georgia pine, which 
is as good a wood as any for this purpose, quite equal to oak and 
easier to obtain. The planking may then be carried on, white cedar 
or cypress beiDg used below the waterline and clear Georgia pine 
above. 
Onepoint demands special attention: as the lower planks areputon 
in succession, they may be nailed to both bent and sawn frames, but 
the upper planks must not be nailed to the bent frames until all the 
lower ones are fully fastened. The reason is that by fastening in reg- 
ular order, from the heel upward, the bent frames, being still free 
above, may be drawn, down tightly into place, but if first fastened to 
the upper strakes, when it comes to fastening them about the bilge, it 
will be found that some of them do not fit quite snugly and cannot 
now be made to, being fast above. 
There are two bilge clamps on each side, of clear Georgia pine, 3xMm • 
amidships and tapering to 2xj^in. at the ends, located, as suown, 
above and below the turn of tne bilge. They may be put in either 
before or after the planking is done. If the sawn frames, on which 
alone they rest, are got out neatly and are perfectly true inside as 
well as out, it will be well to set them before planking, as they help 
to hold the frame, They are fastened with copper nails, one on each 
sawn frame, through upper and lower edges of the clamp alter- 
nately. 
The main clamps are also of Georgia Dine, 4xMin. amidships and 
tapering to 3xf iia. at the ends, where they butt on the stem and 
sternpost. They are set flush with the upper edge of the wales, allow - 
ing for the crown of deck, the deck beams being jogged into them. 
The deck beams may be of clear spruce or hackmatack, and are lin. wide 
and lJ4in. deep, spaced as sh»*rn. They are jogged in flush with the 
top of the mam clamp and nailed to it. The inner ends of the fhort 
beams abreast the well carry a fore-and-aft strip of spruce lj^x^ta., 
jogged in on top to help stiffen the coaming; the open spaces around 
the curve at each end being filled with lin. spruce or pine. The coam- 
ing is %in., of oak, steamed and bent, and fastened to the ends of the 
short beams, and this strip on each side. 
The two bulkheads are of two thicknesses of white pine, cedar or 
mahogany, each *i 8 in. thick, crossing each other diagonally and laid 
with canvas and paint between, both skins being very thoroughly riv- 
eted together while the paint is wet. A deck stop is placed in each 
bulkhead for ventilation, with a drainage plug at the bottom, but no 
use is made of either for storaere; they are merely air tanks. 
The planksheers may be of Georgia pine or mahoeeny, «skin. thick, 
being aj^in. wide amidships and 2^in. at the ends. They are fastened 
with screws to the deck beams, wales and clamps. The deck is of 
clear, dry white pine, %ix>. thick and from iy 3 to Sin. wide; it may be 
either blind fastened or nailed from above and the holes plugged. 
The mast has a square tenon 1 x 3in. on the heel, which is banded 
with iron, and this tenon steps in a mortise In the keelson, 1 x 5in. No 
other mast step is needed, and the length of the mortise gives every 
chance to alter the rake of the mast until its best position is found. 
The mast hole at the deck is Sin. in diameter, allowing plenty of room 
for wedges, which should be neatly worked to the exact shape, and 
not the flimsy sticks too often seen. Beneath the deck is a filling piece 
of yellow pine between the mast beams, and a similar piece is placed 
forward to strengthen the deck at the bitts. The latter may be placed 
as shown m the present plans, further upward than shown in the 
former drawing. 
The floor is flush with the upper side of r the keelson, the bolt ends 
being chipped off after the nuts are well set up, and the small spaces 
around the nuts filled with Portland cement. In the same way spaces 
about the bolt heads in the bottom of the keel are filled with cement. 
In order that all water may find its way to the lowest part of the 
boat, where it can be reached with a small, movable boat pump, lim- 
ber holes are cut in the lower side of the floors where they cross the 
keel, and a little Portland cement and tar is used to fill the small 
angles between keel and garboards and at other points. While the 
boat is perfectly dry, and before the deck is laid, this mixture should 
be run all along the keel, in the ends as well as amidships, filling all 
small spaces and making the top of the keel the lowest point that 
water can lodge; then it will run freely through the limbers. The 
steam frames, and in fact the sawn ones as well, are so light that it is 
inadvisable to weaken them by cutting the usual limbers. 
The inside of the boat may be fitted up with seats and lockers, as 
shown, to suit the convenience of the owner and the proposed use, but 
as there is hardly any space for bilge water, and when the boat heels 
it will find its way into the lockers along the bilge, it would be well to 
fit these with zinc tanks. 
For general sailing in smooth waters the well shown is not too 
large, and a tent may be used over It in cruising. For work in open 
and rougher waters a smaller well would be better, or a third bulk- 
head may be placed at the middle of the well, as indicated, and a small 
house built, eith«r permanently or so as to be removable. About 3ft. 
or headroom can thus be had, enough to sit up under and to insure 
always a dry place for bedding and clothes and a snug sleeping place 
at night. 
The edge of the deck is finished with a small oak rail just enough to 
catch the toes when working on deck and projecting so as to take the 
worse rubs. For ornamentation a gold stripo in a J^in. cove may be 
run under the planksheer, and the bottom paint, of whatever color, 
may be carried quite high up the side with a curving line that har- 
monizes with the sweep of the sheer and the gold stripe, none of them 
quite parallel, but separated a little more at the middle than at the 
ends. 
The rudder stock may be of oak or locust, with backing of white or 
yellow pine. The hangings are plain brass straps encircling the rud- 
der post and riveted to the keel, as simple and durable as anything 
can be. The rudder head may be finished with a plain brass tube and 
a flat cap, but the seamless drawn cap, with hemispherical head, can 
be had, though more expensive. The tiller is of oak or of steel rod, as 
desired. 
CANOEING NEWS NOTES. 
J. H. Eushton, of Canton, N. Y., is building a minature steam 
launch, or steam canoe, on the lines of the canoe Vesper, 17X31ft., with 
1ft. added aft and more depth; the engin e being a % h.p. with lOin. 
wheel. It has driven a 16x4ft. boat from five to six miles per hour, 
and a still higher speed is looked for from the "canoe launch." She 
will carry one or two men.

REVOLVER PRACTICE OF THE NEW 
YORK POLICE FORCE. 
At 3:15 P. M., Feb. 28, the first round of the prelimi- 
nary revolver practice of the New York Police Force was 
finished. At that time Section 3 of the Harbor Squad, 
from the 36th Precinct, in charge of Acting Sergeant 
Robert Clark, came up from the ranges in the basement 
of the 8th Regiment Armory to the room above, where 
Roundsman Wm. A. Jones has his desk and blot- 
ter, and presented their score cards. Roundsman Jones 
is Sergt. Petty's second in command, and just now has 
charge of the revolver school. 
The Forest and Stream man — who was waiting for the 
completed record of the 2,470 men of the rank and file of 
the police who have now for the first time received 
instruction in handling the firearm which the law ordains 
they shall carry, and which circumstance may any mo- 
ment oblige them to use—joined the little knot about the 
desk and read the scores with interest. Sergt. Clark lead 
off with 68; Roundsman John Kenmore had 50 to his 
credit; Patrolman John J. Crowley 52; Maurice O'Connor 
55; Archie McCullum 59. The average for the squad was 
57. Every man had qualified, and Sergt. Clark, by his 
score of 68, secured a place for his name on the "Roll of 
Honor," which carries with it exemption, for the present 
at least, from further practice. It was fitting that the 
last shots of the preliminary round should average so well. 
The reason was not far to seek. These harbor police have 
abundant opportunity for practice while on duty on the 
waters about the city shooting at bottles and river pirates 
and wharf rats of more than one species, and they are 
reasonably familiar with their weapon. 
Their scores stand in notable contrast with those made 
by men from the first precincts called upon to shoot. The 
average score of 39 men from the second platoon of the 1st 
Precinct, for instance, was only 16 out of a possible 75; 
and of 43 men in the second platoon of the 4th Precinct 
only 2 qualified, the balance scoring under 45. 
In this connection it is worth noting that the scores 
have steadily improved every week since the 30 th of last 
December, when practice began. The men are beginning 
to realize that the practice is a matter of considerable im- 
portance to their future welfare, and they have begun to 
practice on their own account. The reward for creditable 
marksmanship is temporary exemption from practice, and 
the penalty for bad shooting is additional work at the 
range at a time when otherwise they would be free. 
As the subject of police revolver practice is one of the 
greatest importance to our American municipalities, and 
as the articles already printed in Forest and Stream 
have aroused considerable interest in various quarters 
and resulted in correspondence with the departments of 
other cities, it has seemed advisable to go into the actual 
routine as conducted in the New York school with more 
detail than heretofore. 
"We shall, therefore, in the present article endeavor to 
show how the men are brought to the score and how they 
are instructed, how the targets are arranged and how the 
ammunition is prepared, and other details of interest to 
police departments contemplating the instruction of their 
forces. 
But first a summary of the scores showing what has 
already been accomplished is worthy of consideration. 
The following table gives the scores by platoons of all 
the precincts with the exception of the 17th (Broadway 
Squad), 3d and 37th (Steamboat Squad), both of which pre- 
cincts are on day duty exclusively, and for which no plan 
of practice has as yet been arranged. The number of men 
in each platoon or section is given, together with their 
total and average scores, and the men are graded into five 
classes, viz, : experts, first, Becond and third grades, and 
qualified. To qualify the man must score at least 45 out 
of a possible 75 on the Creed moor target, 4in. bull. A 
score of 55 to 60 puts the marksman in the third grade; 
60 to 65, second grade; 65 to 70, first grade, and 70 to 75, 
expert grade.
