Covering a Canoe with Canvas. 
Hupson, N. 
Stream: Can any of your readers tell me how 
to put a canvas skin on a wooden canoe? 
My trouble is that I purchased a canoe and 
had it delivered up in the wilds of Canada, sup- 
posing it was canvas covered, but when I got 
there I found it was an ordinary cedar canoe 
very well adapted for the summer resort, but 
' of no earthly use in cruising about the woods, so 
that what I want to do is to put on a canvas 
cover. I have been told that the proper thing 
to do is to put the canvas on dry and -stretch 
it as much as possible and ironing it to the body 
of the boat with a combination of marine glue 
and shellac, and then paint with linseed oil with 
sufficient paint added to give it color. 
One of the books on canoe building says that 
under no circumstances should the duck be put 
on wet, as water does not shrink it, but on the 
contrary opens the fibres ‘and enlarges the fabric, 
so that when it is dry it is full of wrinkles. It 
seems queer to me that the books on canoe 
building contain no directions for putting a skin 
on a tight boat. Possibly there may be other 
readers of Forest AND STREAM who are interested ~

SIXTY-THREE YEARS AGO 
“Bill” Hamilton, then 20 years of age; set out from St. | 
Louis, Mo., with seven other free trappers under the | 
leadership of old Bill Williams. Seven of these eight 
men are dead, but Hamilton still lives out in Montana 
and still sets his traps. He has written the story of his 
early trapping days and the book has been published. 
It 1s called 
MY SIXTY YEARS ON 
THE PLAINS 
By W. T. HAMILTON 
It tells of trapping, trading, Indian fighting, hunting, 
and all the many and aed incidents of the trappers 
life. It is full of adventure and excitement, but the st 
is told modestly, and there is nothing in it that is eect 
Amid much fighting, there is nothing that can be called 
“blood and thunder,” but there is much that is history. 
The book has all the charm of the old volumes, telling 
of early travel in the West; books which were simple 
and direct, and in which there was no striving for effeet. 
It is illustrated by a portrait of the author and one of 
the celebrated Chief Washaki, and by six drawings of old- 
time trapper and Indian life, by Mr. Charles M. Russell, 
the celebrated cowboy artist of Great Falls, Montana.

grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the
