Your Best Vacation Pal 
For you outdoor folks, who spend your 
week-ends or entire summers at lake, or 
stream — what vacation pai can compare

you of oar-work.

ard, for more rugged service, and the Light- 
weight, an easily portable 50-pound motor,

YWELL, here’s your fishing punt all fin- 
” ished. Stick her in the water and 
give her a trial. How long does it take 
to make it? With the assistance of a 
lively friend I made one in a day, calked 
and painted it that night, and used it the 
next morning, but I was young then and 
we didn’t stop to take many pictures by 
the w^ay. Which reminds me of another 
article of equipment. 
Once in that same one-day punt two 
of us set out late at night to cross a 
lake from an old logging road to our 
camp. It was so dark we could scarcely 
see the length of the boat, and not a star 
in the sky. We aimed our boat at the 
camp about a mile and a half away and 
pulled off. After about a half hour we 
stopped to see where we were. We 
couldn’t see, but after some argument we 
decided that camp was about “over 
there.” .Another fifteen minutes and 
“there” was placed in another direction. 
About an hour and a half later we hit 
the shore, but we didn’t recognize it. 
Fortunately we turned the right way and 
keeping close to shore and following all 
its bays arrived at camp two hours out. 
We were lucky, for the lake was twelve 
miles long, and we might have rowed 
right down the middle of it. And the 
moral of that is — carry a compass — even 
if you know you’ll never need it.

and wiped a gob of grease on his nose — 
he looked A’ery efficient — later events 
proved that he was. 
“We’re going out of here quick,” said 
he, “you want to hold on tight as we 
shoot the surf outside, it’s some high to- 
day; we’re going to set the net and then 
lay off the bar — the kingfish have been 
thick out there and we may strike into a 
channel bass.” 
I swallowed my last pancake again as 
we sped toward the white line of break- 
ers; funny thing, something inside of me 
kept pushing that cake up into my throat 
as we came nearer and nearer that wild- 
looking water. I looked at Charlie, and 
I felt no better — he had kicked off his 
boots and trousers and sat in his bathing 
suit, his knuckles showing white as he 
clutched his seat — I began to feel as 
though I had made a mistake and was 
just about to suggest that we return, as I 
had forgotten something. Smash, crash 
—a roar and a plunge — a huge green wall 
of water towered over our stern and I 
began to think of many things, particu- 
larly of a recent article on how to swim, 
in two parts. If that wall of water ever 
caught us and tumbled into us ! A skill- 
ful turn of the skipper’s wrist and the 
comber roared by — I looked a bit green 
about the gills I expect, as Harold, bless 
his heart, hastened to reassure me — 
“Pooh, not as bad as I thought.” “Well,” 
said I, “it isn’t as bad as / thought either, 
it’s a great deal worse I”
