late, cheese, prunes and raisins, nuts 
and some graham crackers and be on your 
way again in an hour. At four the 
definite stop for the day is made. Pick 
a good camp site, ’on a point if possible 
to get away from flies and mosquitoes, 
and be sure to pitch somewhere near a 
spring. Any river that is inhabited, 
that is, has farms and small towns on its 
banks, is unsafe to use for drinking or 
cooking water. My boy once got a case 
of typhoid on one of our canoe cruises, 
where there was but one town on the 
river bank. The rest of us were badly 
upset and just missed typhoid, but he 
had a severe case which nearly cost him 
his life. Since then I have always in- 
sisted on a spring for water or else have 
boiled it before using. And, by the 
same token, refrain from dipping up 
the river water in a cup and drinking 
it, unless the river is wholly wild, like 
the Allagash in Maine or the Lumbee 
in North Carolina, or the Mullica or 
Wading River in New Jersey, all of 
which streams are good canoeing. 
In lieu of a sail, a good thing to take 
along is a tarp for a floor cloth, made 
of some light waterproof tent textile. If 
you have a mast step screwed to sev- 
eral ribs of your canoe, and a detach- 
able cross bar with a two-inch hole in 
it for a mast hole, and two brass hooks 
with wing nuts to secure the cross rail 
to the gunwale, you can easily cut spars 
at the lake bank and rig the tarp as a 
sail when you have a long, down-wind 
traverse to make. Without the step and 
bar it is rather awkward to rig any- 
thing that will stand wind pressure and 
not become dangerous from coming 
adrift and upsetting the canoe in a gust. 
In making any traverse, study your 
weather and white caps before venturing 
out, for it is braver to say “No!” and 
stay ashore wind-bound, than to be fool- 
hardy and go out and get swamped. If 
you must make the traverse and the 
waves are high, do it with canoe lightly 
loaded in two trips, as a logy, heavily- 
loaded canoe is a dangerous thing in 
choppy seas. 
I N river work, haul her over logs, down 
trees and the like by getting out on 
the log, one on each side and sliding 
the canoe over between you with the 
duffle aboard. Keep cutting across the 
heads of bends, the bow man anticipat- 
ing the river at each bend and getting 
the canoe headed for the shallows, when 
the stern man can then exert his strength 
and shove her ahead. Keep out of the 
full force of the current in the bends; 
it only makes you paddle twice as far 
and hard and the force of the current 
is always throwing your canoe broad- 
side onto alders and rocks in the elbow 
of the bends. In running a rapids, be 
first sure that they are safe, as they 
change almost daily with the height of 
water. Ix)ok for a portage trail, if 
you know nothing about them, and if 
there is a landing above the rapids, with 
a clearly defined trail through the forest, 
it is a safe bet that the rapids are 
dangerous and have been portaged by 
better men than you. In running white 
water the stern man has the say and 
the bow man should not embarrass him 
by attempting to fend off, slice water
