ordinary pyramid, of course, but the 
ring is usually of such small wire that 
the line is soon cut and, lying so near 
the sinker, the sand is apt to bury it 
and the line will not render properly, 
as it is supposed to in the “finder” rig. 
But, as I say, these ideas as to rigging 
are merely ideas and crochets after all, 
something to grow very wordy over but 
really nothing to get wildly excited 
about, as the old “three-way” gets ’em 
just as well. A. F. Westervelt. 
A BUILDER OF CANOES 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 265) 
gess, of Boston, and the “Vim" for H. 
Matt Ohlmeyer, of the Knickerbocker 
Canoe Club, New York City. These 
two canoes, built in 1906, are still in 
every respect as good as new and are 
wonderful examples of canoe construc- 
tion. 
The famous “Mermaid”, as stated, 
was built in 1913. This canoe proves 
the exception to the statement that 
there is no perfection in art. 
The “Kabeyun III”, an improvement 
on the “Damosel”, was designed and 
built by Stevens in 1915 for Edwin 
Ginn of Winchester, Mass., and in 
some respects may be considered Stev- 
ens’ most remarkable design. In 1916 
he also designed and built the “Nymph” 
for H. H. Davis of Schenectady, N. Y. 
The last canoe to go out of Stevens’ 
shop is the “Doris III”, a radical de- 
parture of cruising type and built in 
1918 for Mr. Yngve Froling of Gothen- 
burg, Sweden. 
Stevens came from a family of 
craftsmen and inherited their inge- 
nuity and aesthetic intelligence. As a 
boat and canoe artisan, he is unex- 
celled. With his inherent talent for 
design and a remarkable gift for con- 
struction, he has developed a kind of 
small sailing craft of a singularly su- 
perior type, which reflects the genius 
of the man. 
Of modest and quiet manner, he 
possesses a fine personality and is a 
man of integrity and worth. Having 
lived a clean life, he has set an example 
for others and today, though having 
reached the age of seventy, he appears 
to be not much over fifty. 
Stevens’ family consists of his wife, 
a woman of wonderful sympathy, also 
a son and daughter. The son holds a 
responsible business position in Lowell, 
Mass., and the daughter is the wife of 
Captain James Barr, well-known yacht 
captain and racing expert. 
THE CROCODILES

had concluded that the crocodile would 
wait until after dark and then take the 
bait, for it seemed so very patient and 
quiet. Much to my surprise and with 
apparently no preparation, the fore part 
of the crocodile’s body quickly rose 
from the water without a splash; the 
strong and sharply armored jaws 
opened, and closed on the monkey’s 
body. Everything except the buoy sud-
