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 
Wished With" was among the most popular series of 
papers ever presented to Forest and Stream readers.

Canoeing Down the Connecticut. 
“We can paddle all the way from Windsor, 
Vt., to Hartford, Conn.,” cried Billy, an en¬ 
thusiast on canoeing, as he spread a large map 
of the Connecticut River on the table in front 
of him, and ran his finger over the winding 
course which the river takes between those two 
points. Around him we gathered and listened 
to his plan for a camping trip that summer down 
the ‘‘Long River” in regular Indian fashion, 
with canoes and tents. There were six of us 
present—Mrs. Matthews, Blanche and Lou, 
Billy, Bert and I. All were members of the 
same church, living in one of the small towns 
on the western bank of the Palisades, not far 
from New York. Blanche was the organist, 
Mrs. Matthews, Lou and Bert sang in the 
choir, while I myself was the youthful rector 
of the church. 
Billy was a member of the local canoe club, 
and owned two good canoes, which he kept on 
the creek that Hows through the meadows at 
the foot of the hill. Having been told that 
there was good canoeing on the Connecticut 
River, he had written to several of the station 
agents of the Central Vermont, asking for in¬ 
formation. All the replies contained favorable 
accounts, so he laid the plan before us, with the 
result that it met with instant approval. 
About a fortnight before the day set for our

departure the canoes were crated and shipped 
to Windsor and we spent an afternoon packing 
the two big bundles in which our tents, blankets 
and camp equipment were sent on ahead. It 
was arranged that Billy should go up before¬ 
hand and see that everything was in readiness. 
So on Wednesday off he went and you can 
imagine how glad we were to receive the first 
post-card from him, saying that all the things 
had arrived safely and were waiting for us in 
the freight house of the station. 
On the following Friday, a broiling hot day 
in August, we started. Friends accompanied 
us to New York, and saw us off—a jolly party, 
loaded down with suit cases, rain coats, paddles 
and cameras. We left the Grand Central depot 
on the night train. At six o’clock the next 
morning we were all up, watching the beautiful 
scenery from the car window, for the train was 
now traveling up the Connecticut River valley. 
Grand mountains covered with trees towered 
aloft on all sides, and every once in a while we 
would emerge from the thick woods or come 
round a curve and catch glimpses of the river, 
or run for short spells along its banks. The 
current appeared to be running very swiftly. 
In some places the river seemed to be rather 
dangerous, as the surface was rough and broken 
and the water was dashing and swirling around 
as if there were rocks in the river bed, or “as 
if the bottom of the river were sticking up 
through the top.” At last the train drew into 
the station at Windsor, and there was Billy wait¬ 
ing on the platform to greet us. 
After a good breakfast, with the aid of an 
old wagon—just four wheels on a frame—which 
we borrowed from one of the farm houses near

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

said applies to all wooden yacht building according to 
the best and most approved methods.
