Houseboats and Houseboating 
BY ALBERT BRADLEE HUNT. 
A volume devoted to a new outdoor field which 
has for its purpose three objects: 
First—To make known the opportunities American waters 
afford for enjoyment of houseboating life. 
Second—To properly present the development which 
houseboating has attained in this country. 
Third—To set forth the advantages and pleasures of 
houseboating in so truthful a manner that 'others 
may become interested in the pastime. 
The book contains forty specially prepared articles by 
owners and designers of well-known houseboats, and is 
beautifully illustrated with nearly 200 line and half-tone 
reproductions of plans and exteriors and interiors. A 
most interesting chapter is devoted to houseboating in 
England. 
The book has been carefully prepared by Mr. Albert 
Bradlee Hunt. 
The work is printed on extra heavy coated paper, and is 
bound in olive green buckram. The price is $3 net. 
Postage 34 cents.

Sa.m Lovel’s Boy. 
By Rovland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of 
Danvis books. No one has pictured the New 
Englander with so much insight as has Mr. Rob¬ 
inson. Sam Lovel and Huldah are two of the 
characters of the earlier books in the series, and 
the boy is young Sam, their son, who grows up 
under the tuition of the coterie of friends that we 
know so well, becomes a man just at the time of 
the Civil War and carries a musket in defense of 
what he believes to be the right.

DRUNKEN MARINES. 
"I’ll take a sailor along with me the next time 
I buy a sea painting,” said a millionaire. "I 
bought two marines last month and yesterday 
my old friend Capt. Salthorse had a look at them. 
“Salthorse said: 
“ ‘In this picture we've got a trading schooner 
in charge of a tug towing away from a rock- 
bound coast through a fearful jumble of sea. 
The schooner’s main topmast is gone, and all 
sails are lowered except her staysail, which is 
being hoisted, though she is towing head on to 
the gale. Why that hoisted staysail? All hands, 
I suppose, are drunk. 
“ ‘In the second picture,’ continued Capt. Salt¬ 
horse, ‘the principal boat, an 18-footer is racing, 
yet has no flag flying. That’s as incorrect as it 
would be for you to go to a dinner party minus 
a shirt. The crew of this boat are getting in the 
spinnaker, and if they lower away both spin¬ 
naker and boom will be in the water, for they 
have neglected to let the boom go forward. But 
I know what the trouble is with them. They, 
too, are drunk.’ ”
