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.

Gas Engines and Launches. 
Their Principles, Types and Management. By Francis 
K. Grain. 132 pages. Price, $1.25. 
Here is a pocket manual indispensable to every man 
who uses a motor-boat. It deals in simple untechnical 
fashion with the running of the marine gas engine, and 
with the difficulties that the marine gas engineer is likely 
to meet with. These engines are described, some pages 
are devoted to launches in general, with practical advice 
to the man who contemplates purchasing a power boat. 
1 lie main feature of the book, however, is a clear descrip¬ 
tion of the difficulties met with in running a gas engine, 
their causes and how to remedy them. In this discussion 
all technicalities are avoided, and the author has boiled 
down a vast amount of practical knowledge into small 
space and into every-day language. The amateur power 
boat man needs this book, for it will save him much time 
and trouble, and probably not a little money.

Small Yacht Construction 
and ILigging. 
A Complete Manual of Practical Boat and Small Yacht 
Building. With two complete designs and numerous 
diagrams and details. By Linton Hope. 177 pages 
Cloth. Price, $3. 
The author has taken two designs for practical demon¬ 
stration, one of a centerboard boat 19ft. waterline, and 
the other a cruising cutter of 22ft. waterline. Both de¬ 
signs show fine little boats which are fully adapted to 
American requirements. Full instructions, even to the 
minutest detail, are given for the building of both these 
boats. The information is not confined to these yachts 
alone; they are merely taken as examples; but what is 
said applies to all wooden yacht building according to 
the best and most approved methods.

I had been out hunting with George Waters in 
one of the best deer ranges in Colorado for over 
a week, and had not killed a deer, though I had 
lots of good shots, while he had almost loaded 
the wagon. One morning at daybreak George 
wanted to know where I was going, and I de¬ 
clared that I was disgusted and going home. 
He said, “You get breakfast and feed and har¬ 
ness the horses, I will go for the deer I killed 
last evening. When I get back we will eat and 
both go home.” I assented, and in about an 
hour Waters came back to camp with two deer. 
"Where did you get the other deer, George?” . 
“I shot her over on a point near where I had 
the other hung up; by the way, there was a 
curious circumstance. While I was going down 
the canon I saw this big doe and two yearlings 
come out on a point. One of the yearlings saw 
me and said, ‘Oh! mother, there is a man.’ ‘You 
need not be afraid of him,’ responded his mother, 
‘it is Dick, and he cannot hit the side of a barn.’ 
‘No,’ persisted the little buck, ‘I think it is some¬ 
one else.’ The old doe looked again, and shrieked 
while she trembled with fear, ‘Run, children, 
run for your lives, it is Waters!’ But it was of 
no use, I killed her before she had gone ten 
yards.” 
I grunted, and didn’t pay much attention to 
him, but he relished this old-hashed-up and 
warmed-over tale so much that he told it a dozen 
times when he got me in a crowd, and the fools 
always laughed. W. J. D.
