Whim Wham,.used by Dr. Pierce for some eight 
years, living aboard of the boat from six to 
eight months with his family. The upper part 
of the cabin house, about a 1000 sq. ft. in area 
will be arranged to collect the rain water and 
drain it to large pipes connected with a charcoal 
filter and from there to the water tank. 
The arrangements are very complete for the 
stowing of all the necessaries, and large lockers 
have been provided in which to stow guns, am¬ 
munition and fishing tackle; they will be lo¬ 
cated just inside the companionway in the pas¬ 
sage, and at all times will be readily accessible. 
The ice capacity is about a ton and a half. Gen¬ 
erally, then. Huntress is a boat well adapted 
to many conditions of service, and she should 
prove altogether an ideal craft for the ends 
expected. The dimensions follow:

An International Trophy. 
We reprint a letter from the columns of the 
London Yachting World that is of great in¬ 
terest to American canoeists. We hope to pub¬ 
lish the lines and sail plan of a “B” canoe 
very shortly. These are a fine type of boat, and 
are doing much toward rehabilitating the sport 
of canoeing, which for some years except in 
certain localities had passed from popular favor: 
“Sir—I write to inform you that the com¬

to offer a trophy for international competition 
during next year. The conditions, as so far
