Houseboats and Houseboatin/i 
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

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 paper, and is 
bound in olive green buckram. The price is $3 net.

Great Neck, who have already opened their sum¬ 
mer homes, stopped for dinner.

Sail over 
London’s Seven-Year Cruise. 
Jack London, the noted author and story 
wliter, very recently sailed from San Francisco 
on his new trim and staunch little sail and steam 
yacht, Snark, bound on a seven years’ cruise 
around the globe. London is accompanied by 
his young wife and a crew of four. 
Snark is the smallest craft that has, perhaps, 
ever yet attempted the circumnavigation of the 
globe. This yacht is 57ft. over all, has 15ft. 
beam, and 7ft. draft. Completed, fully equipped, 
provisioned, etc., Snark cost about $25,000. 
Snark proceeds direct to Honolulu, and from 
thence to the remote South Seas, visiting in turn 
China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the Mar- 
gusas, Polynesia, India, and so on around the 
navigable globe. London also proposes, if pos¬ 
sible, to ascend the Yang-tse-Kiang, Zambesi, 
Congo, Nile, Amazon, and other great streams. 
In round numbers, London expects his pro¬ 
tracted voyage will last 2,555 days. Travel, 
quest, of adventure, and to collect new material 
for his prolific pen, are the chief motives prompt¬ 
ing the author to make his long and perilous 
cruise. 
London is under contract to furnish a series 
of articles to several large American publica¬ 
tions during his protracted voyage. He plans 
to do systematic literary work on the cruise in 
which he will be efficiently assisted by Mrs. 
London, that lady acting as his amanuensis and 
typewriter—From Marine Review. 
One of the most remarkable class of boats 
011 Long Island Sound is the old Larchmont 21ft. 
class. 1 hese little veterans have stuck together 
wonderfully well. Three out of the original 
four, built thirteen years ago in 1894, are still 
going it, hammer and tongs, full sail, in all 
kinds of wind and sea in every race scheduled 
for these waters. 
They certainly are an object lesson on light 
construction, being lightly built hulls with heavy 
plate fin keels and carry quite large rigs. 
And best of all the man who handles, his boat 
the best wins. There is no foregone conclusion 
due to any weather conditions. The best man 
wins and that is as yacht racing should be. 
*! * * 
The new racing sloop, built for Com. Cornelius 
Vaqderbilt, New York Y. C., Aurora, was given 
her first trial under sail Thursday by the de¬ 
signer, Captain Nat Herreshoff, in a brisk north¬ 
wester. She carried mainsail, forestaysail, jib 
and working topsail, and later set No. 2 jibtop- 
tail, but was taken in and baby jibtopsail broken 
out in its place. 
When near Rocky Point she was gybed, tacked 
and spun round and round, in all of which move¬ 
ments she worked perfectly. 
At noon she was brought back to her moor¬ 
ings, to remain until taken to her owner. ’

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. 
The 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.
