FOREST AND STREAM.

ARTHUR BINNEY 
(Formerly Stewart & Binnby) 
After lunch and the washing of the dishes, 
the Captain rests under the shade of the trees 
until the afternoon' breeze springs up. How it 
; does blow and sigh through the needles of the 
pines, calling to the real enjoyment of the day. 
( Sailing a canoe in a fresh wind, with the spray 
I flying over the deck, can be approached, but 
not equaled by a gallop on the back of a spirited 
horse, and although it may be deemed affecta¬ 
tion to speak of a canoe as a thing of life, yet 
it is true that this sensation is imparted to the 
canoeist as he sails over the waves before, or 
beats against a freshening breeze. 
The broad expanse between the Canadian 
shore and the head of Grindstone affords the 
opportunity for a glorious sail. The wind is 
| true and steady, as it here comes down the 
river, and although it is as fresh as can be 
met with full cruising sail, it is not so strong 
as to cause the Captain to wonder if he is to 
be spilled into the river. As he passed the 
head of Grindstone, he finds numerous shoals 
and rocks, over which the waves break, indi¬ 
cating the. dangerous places and guiding to the 
channels in between. He now directs his 
course toward Clayton and lands behind the 
“nightingale” dock. It is only a few steps to 
the butcher’s shop, where mutton chops are 
purchased, and the green grocer’s, where a sup¬ 
ply of sweet potatoes and tomatoes is obtained. 
As the wind generally goes down with the 
sun, there is no time to waste. Dinner must 
be cooked, wood cut, and the camp must be 
made ready for the night. 
When the cook eats at the first table, which 
is the case where the cook, captain and crew 
are one, soup is out of place if it is to be fol¬ 
lowed by other courses. The fire having been 
started, the kettle is put on. Before leaving 
camp in the morning the cook had cut two 
slices of salt pork, which he placed in water in 
a covered pan to soak. This pork is now put 
on to parboil, from twenty to thirty minutes, 
the pan being placed on the grate where the 
heat is not too strong. The sweet potatoes are 
washed and placed in a kettle of salted boiling 
water, which is placed where it will boil stead¬ 
ily for forty-five minutes. A can of baked beans 
is. opened and placed in a pan on the grate 
with a few spoonfuls of boiling water. Here 
they are allowed to cook slowly until the pork 
|has been sufficiently boiled. One slice of pork 
|is then placed in the pan of beans, at or near 
the bottom thereof, the other slice is placed on 
top of the beans, the pan is placed in the hot 
ashes, and it is covered with a tinned plate right 
side up. The plate is then filled with hot coats 
and the beans are allowed to bake. 
The cook now has a few minutes in which to 
spread the blankets on the cot. As he is to 
have chops for dinner he has to consider how 
they are to be cooked in order to please the 
Captain. He might use the broiler, but there 
is a better way. The frying-pan is placed on 
the coals until it is nearly red hot and the chops 
are placed in the hot pan, without any grease 
(excepting that which is on the chops) where 
they are seared and turned until the outside of 
the chof>s are browned and hardened. The pan 
is then placed on the grate, where the chops 
cook slowly. When they are nearly done, the 
.cook adds the pepper and salt and hunts up the 
jar of currant jelly, which has been brought 
from home especially for these chops. Mean¬ 
while he has placed the tea in an old-fashioned 
earthenware tea-pot, which has been warming 
.at the fire, pours in enough boiling water for 
■two cupfuls, and places the pot where the tea 
will steep. 
The jelly is now placed on the chops one 
spoonful to each chop, and the pan is allowed 
to remain over the fire until the jelly has 
melted. The chops are then placed on a hot 
Pa couple of dessert spoonfuls of hot water 
is added to the pan and stirred into the grease 
and melted jelly until the gravy is smooth. The 
® r avy is then poured over the chops. 
■ The beans are now taken from the fire. When 
the cover is removed the beans and pork at 
ne top will be found to be crisp and brown, as 
liferent from the beans as they come from 
the can as day is from night. 
The dinner is eaten, the dishes are washed 
and put away, and the Captain reclined on his 
poncho before the door of his tent to rest from 
the manifold labors of the day. He is health¬ 
fully tired. A red squirrel runs down the tree 
on which the ham is hung in a cotton bag, and 
soon he makes a hole in the bag and also in the 
ham contained therein. Perhaps there are 
germs in his teeth, but we can cut away the 
piece at which he is gnawing. The squirrel 
gnaws away undisturbed, running around the 
trees, now and then, to take a fresh look at 
the Captain and to see whether he still remains 
silent and still without any evil intent. A pair 
of mink-like kittens are chasing each other 
over the rocks. The only evidence of civiliza¬ 
tion is the view of the Frontenac in the far 
distance over the river. 
Twilight comes and darkness. The squirrel 
has gone to his bed, the whip-poor-will has 
commenced his serenade. Time to turn in. The 
tent door remains wide open, for fresh air is 
what the Captain has come for, and the awning 
keeps off the dew. The Captain snuggles down 
in the blankets and it is indeed a sound sleep 
and a “good night.” Lorna. 
A Publicity Committee Needed. 
Providence, R. I., June 26. — Editor Forest and 
Stream: I have had a number of letters asking 
why the several divisions of the Association do 
not. send in copy in the way of reports of their 
cruises, meets, etc., and I can only say that I 
have done my very best to bring about such 
a condition of affairs as would secure the send¬ 
ing in of these reports, but without apparent 
success. I should infer, from my correspond¬ 
ence, that there was a widespread interest 
among the members of the several divisions in 
the events which take' place in the divisions 
other than their own, and many seem to look- 
over your paper for records of the same.

Treasurer, A. C. A. 
[We hope club secretaries will take the hint 
and send, in notes of interest concerning their 
organizations. Commodore Burkey, of the As¬ 
sociation, should, appoint a publicity committee, 
with a member in each division, to secure re¬ 
ports of current events for publication in
