Turtle Soup 
(Continued from page 331) 
bad to spoil a perfectly good turtle just 
through inexperience. The soup seemed 
less desirable as the bungling pro- 
gressed. Things got rather out of 
place. There were certain members I 
did not recognize at all. There ap- 
peared to be more turtle than I had 
started with. Being afraid that I 
might eventually ignore parts worthy 
for parts unworthy, and not being so 
darned hungry anyway, I remembered 
an ant hill away down in the wood. So 
there, in a large pack basket, I took 
the remains and sadly I left them. A 
week later I found the shell picked 
clean and polished. It makes a hand- 
some catchall. 
What! Never ate turtle soup? 
Hush! Neither did I.

well and may plow under and sink be- 
fore the motor can be stopped. 
Don’t land while steamers are pass- 
ing unless you are sure you can un- 
load before the wash reaches you. 
Don’t start out in the morning until 
you have dried out your tent and blank- 
ets, better start a little later and be 
sure of a dry bed than to sleep in damp 
blankets and get rheumatism. 
Don’t forget food is your one and 
only reward after the day’s toil and 
an undernourished body cannot resist 
sickness like a well fed one.

bog holes. Old river men suggest camp- 
ing on a west shore when storm 
threatens because most storms come 
from the northwest in the fall and 
trees on a west bank will break the 
force of the wind. 
Fall is the proper time of year to 
travel south because of malaria. 
fo are a great source of uneasi- 
ness to the uninitiated, but at low 
water are seldom dangerous even when 
they boil and break under the boat. The 
exceptions are eddies under a high bluff 
of rocky formation, these should be 
traversed with care or avoided. There 
are three places worthy of mention: 
Grand Tower, Ill. Below, Hickman, 
Kentucky. Above, Baton Rouge, La. 
Shore eddies are of little consequence, 
in fact they assit in getting ashore 
where the current is strong. They also 
serve as a break-water when it is nec- 
essary to camp on a bank where the 
canoe can not be hauled up very far. 
The safest place to pass a steamer is

close alongside unless the wind is blow- 
ing strongly toward her, in which case 
there is danger of being blown into the 
wake. Always pass a steamer on the 
river side or you may be caught in the 
back wash from shore and swamped. 
Passing a steamer is the least of a 
paddler’s difficulties, so it is best not 
to crow too soon; the real fun starts 
about a half a mile behind the departed 
boat. A steamer traveling upstream 
throws bow waves which spread and 
multiply in number and size until they 
reach shore where if there is a beach 
they will spend themselves, but if the 
banks happen to be high or abrupt they 
are deflected at an angle upstream and 
eventually both back washes comes to- 
gether in the middle, this volume of 
water meeting the down current results 
in churned water and breakers of con- 
siderable magniture and if one happens 
to be caught in this spot it takes some 
delicate paddling to ride through. Here 
the heavy canoe has the advantage over 
a light one. 
HE danger is decreased or increased 
in direct proportion to the width of 
the river, the character of the banks, 
the speed of the current, the force of 
the wind and the size and number of 
steamers that pass. 
You may be fortunate and not meet 
with these multiplied conditions, still, 
it is not amiss to know the possibilities. 
When being passed by a steamer go- 
ing down stream, face about and ride 
the wash bow on. 
As a safe average you may figure on 
traveling one hundred seventy-five miles 
a week. You can estimate the approxi- 
mate cost of the trip by estimating the 
cost of one weeks’ supplies and multi- 
plying by the possible duration. Dis- 
tance can be learned from Government 
charts. Add transportation back home 
and a sufficient amount to cover emer- 
gencies. Don’t bank on selling your 
outfit as it will bring very little down 
south. Shipping it back will cost be- 
tween twenty and thirty dollars. 
HE foregoing outfit has proven 
itself practical as given and is 
within the reach of all canoe lovers and 
has the advantage of causing no great 
loss if thrown away at the journey’s 
end. ; 
There is always a wrong way and a_ 
right way to do anything, so if you 
will make the cruise, make it right. 
Bon Voyage.
