seemed as if the ages had rolled back- 
ward and time turned again; till we 
were back in the old stone age, and these 
moose, cousins of the mighty Irish elk 
now extinct, but in the dream world of 
the past living again, ghosts of the past 
when men first experimented with fire. 
And with the Northern Lights shining 
like the curtains of God’s tabernacles, 
with the constellations burning till we 
floated in a world of waters star-roofed 
and star-paved, where the loon lay asleep 
and the duck brood dreamed, we came 
eampward, — rested and ready for the 
next night when we were to have the 
battle royal with a Huge Bull Moose ac- 
tually at arms length in the midnight.

suit individual taste. The stem posts, 
stiff rib and knees, thwarts under decks, 
outwale beading and inwale coaming are 
of hardwood, preferably of oak. The 
posts, knees and rib can be cut from a OF 
x 12" x 2" oak plank. All of the hard- 
ware should be of brass so as to prevent 
rot. Iron will rust in spite of paint and 
will eat away the strength of the wood. 
The most important point in the con- 
struction comes in the bevelling of the 
outside edges of the bottom board. This 
board will have to be drawn to scale ac- 
cording to the dimensions of your boat 
and later transcribed to both the inside 
and outside of the bottom board, taking 
the measurement every six inches. In 
this way your saw and plane will be guid- 
ed correctly. Care at this point will give a 
nice joint between this edge and the side 
planks, and will prevent a leaky boat. 
The rocker bottom is shaped by means of 
a temporary joice holding the center of 
the bottom board down, the joice being 
propped from the ceiling. Then block up 
the ends to the required height. Give 
the bow a trifle more rise than the stern. 
The shape of the stiff rib will determine 
the flare of the sides as well as the gen- 
eral lines of your canoe, so the stiff rib 
is set together with the stems before the 
sides are applied. When laying the sides, 
be sure that your plank is evenly bal- 
anced, then apply to the stiff rib first and 
work toward the ends, doing all of your 
trimming and finishing after the whole 
side is in place. Following the finishing 
of the sides, you will place your thwarts 
which will serve both as a foundation for 
your decks and a further bracing of the 
side boards. Your decks, coaming and 
beading complete the construction. This 
is matter of laying first and trimming 
afterward, taking particular care so as 
to make all joints and seams as tight as 
possible with a view to a ship-shape job. 
Finally the paint, which should be of good 
grade marine quality, put on over a wood 
filler. Most of the “Mixing Boxes” are 
equipped with a “bang iron” made from 
a flat piece of brass, which is neatly pat- 
terned and laid over both stems on the 
outside. These are fastened down with 
small brass screws. A hole is drilled 
through the top of each bang iron for a 
“painter.” The finished weight is about 
65 pounds and its capacity about 500.
