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 uses 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.

Uncle Lisha's Shop. 
Life in a Corner of Yankeeland. By Rowland E. Robin¬ 
son. Cloth. 187 pages. Price, $1.25. 
The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Lisha 
Peggs, bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsman’s 
exchange, where, as one of the fraternity expressed it, 
the hunters and fishermen of the widely scattered neigh¬ 
borhood used to meet of evenings and dull outdoor days 
“to swap lies.” ,

Men I Have Fished With. 
Sketches of character and incident with rod and gun from 
childhood to manhood; from the killing of little fishes 
and birds to a buffalo hunt. By Fred Mather. Il¬ 
lustrated. Price, $2.00. 
It was a happy thought that prompted Mr. Fred Mather 
to write of his fishing companions. The chapters were 
received with a warm welcome at the beginning, and 
have been of sustained interest. The “Men I Have 
Fished With” was among the most popular series of 
papers ever presented to Forest and Stream readers.

At Sea. 
Concluded from page 304. 
Sometimes the mates using their authority to 
abuse a man, will send him aloft as a punish¬ 
ment. The mate knew I was keeping a private 
log and had often tried to get me to let him 
read it, as several times he had overstepped 
his legal rights in his abuse of the men and was 
anxious to read what I bad written about it; 
but I would not let him see it. One (My on 
the homeward voyage, after we bad all deserted 
the ship, ran away on the desert of Antofagasta, 
Chili, been caught by the police and put aboard 
the ship to come home in the clothes we stood 
in, he asked me what day it was we filled the 
water casks at Valparaiso. “Get your book,” 
he said, “you can tell by that.” He said the. 
captain wanted to know,*so I got my diary and 
had a hard job to get it back. The captain, in 
fact, had to get it fo'r me from the mate. 
It was to settle this grudge against me one 
day as we were scudding around Cape Horn, 
ten knots an ljour under reefed topsails, he 
ordered me to go aloft to the topgallant yard 
and watch for land. At four o’clock in the 
morning it was pitch dark and lacked several 
hours of daylight. But up I went and sat 
astride the royal yard holding on to the tie, 
hugging up close to the mast in the lee of it as 
protection against the dry, bitter cold flurries 
of fine snow or hail that came down at intervals. 
It was so cold the snow was frozen into little 
pellets that rattled on my frozen oil-coat and 
so’wester. It was no punishment to me; in fact, 
it was more pleasant up there than down on 
deck, where the top of a sea was liable to roll 
over either rail a roaring, yeasty mass to soak 
a man caught in it. 
When daylight did come, gray and uncertain 
as the light was, I could make out three other 
ships hull down to the northward. 
When the mate finally did call me down, he 
made Joe, Lawson and I wash down the poop 
deck, although the seas were soaking it every 
few minutes. Little we cared; it kept us busy 
and warm to have to move about. We scrubbed 
and splashed and joked away in spite of him. 
Then he sung out to clew up the to’gansels, so 
we clewed up the fore and came aft to the 
main, well knowing*this was the beginning of 
the mate’s spite. Just as we started to haul on 
the clewline, he mumbled out some order. Joe 
looked at me and I at Lawson, but none of us 
understood what he said. He had his hack to¬ 
ward us, and as we waited to hear what he said, 
he muttered again unintelligibly. Finally we told 
him we could not hear. 
“-your souls, open your ears then!” 
he shouted and worked himself up into a furious 
rage. 
We were standing just at the edge of the 
poop, as the clewline was made fast to a pin 
in the rail up there, and when he saw us he 
flung his hat down on deck, threw his coat on 
the booby hatch and came at us on a run. 
“Get off of here!” he shouted. “Get down 
on the main deck! Get down there!” and giving 
Joe and Lawson a shove, he sent both of them 
off the poop to the deck below, while I jumped 
back against the rail. 
Seizing the clewline, he gave it two or three 
fearful yanks and then let it go and went back 
to the hatch and put on his hat and coat. He 
never said another word until we had the sail 
clewed up and asked him if we should furl it. 
“Yes, - you, yes!” lie shouted and re¬ 
sumed iiis walk back and forth along the weather 
side of the poop without so much as looking 
at us. 
We spent the rest of our watch making 
sennit by the booby hatch, and I kept my eye 
on a large, black, iron ship on our weather 
beam. She had a low square look, with stubby 
poles and flat trucks that pronounced her Eng¬ 
lish. Her royals and spanker were stowed, and 
with the weather clew of her mainsail lifted, she 
came edging down on us now hull down in the 
hollow between the seas and then again being 
hove up on the crest until the red of her bot¬ 
tom stood out like a flash of fire against the
