Gas Engines and Launches. 
Their Principles, Types and Management. By Francis 
K. 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 che 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 causes 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.

How The Race was Sailed. 
As to how the race was sailed I will have to 
describe it in the first person singular, as every- 
one who covered the course that day would do. 
It was all any man could. do to watch his own 
boat and bring her through those whitecaps and 
screeching squalls without devoting any time to 
sight seeing, 
When it came time for our start at 12:25 
Thelema was two lengths ahead of us with 
Tanya several astern, and in this way we crossed 
the line. The others each had jibs and two- 
reefed mainsail. We had a three-reefed main 
and only used our jib on the two first reaching 
legs. This was set as we crossed the line in 
a smother of white suds racing past on both 
sides. Thelema could not keep from broaching 
a little as hard puffs hit her, and we gained 
somewhat; so close were we that when the old 
spar buoy off Scotch Caps was close aboard, Dr. 
Black on Thelema shouted to know if we were 
going to try and jibe. “Sure!” was our answer, 
and sure we did with a slam bang that shook 
Naiad to her keel. Thelema broached around 
into the wind, which let loose in one of its wild 
outflies just then, and like a tobaggan Naiad ran 
past her into the lead. Sailing! oh! but it was 
glorious coasting. A big coaming whitecap 
would meet our quarter wave, the two would 
slap togethey, and a white ghost-like column of 
Spray would rise six feet in the air, the bulk of 
the sea would underrun us and there would be 
a quiet spell for a few seconds while the sloop 
took a roll, but the next second she would be 
poised on top of that swell with a vacuum under 
her bow into which it dipped, and with a gale 
pushing her Naiad would shoot like a surf boat 
coming in on the Jersey beach, spray squirting 
in white fan-like showers for yards each side 
of her spoon-shaped bows and an eddying white 
wake yards and yards astern. It was grand. We 
ran well ahead of our white and black hulled 
competitors, but oh! wait till we turned to come 
to windward. How we envied Tanya’ her big, 
able-bodied hull and powerful keel, Pretty 
Quick coming to windward was passed like a 
flash. A light: fiddle box craft, but wasn’t she 
humming it to windward, riding high with reefed 
main and a tidy little storm jib set. How we 
wished we had our storm jib, but like the “Dutch- 
man’s anchor” it was ashore. So hauling down 
the jib it was lashed down on bowsprit and deck. 
The blue mark dory with its round ball was 
passed in a.swirl and splatter of sea that flew 
like hail all over us. Two hands rallied in the 
main sheet and then all three lay flat on the 
deck to windward while I manipulated the tiller. 
It was certainly wicked weather for yacht rac- 
ing. Naiad would hit a sea and about two feet 
of its top would come solid over the bows, wash 
clean over the forward deck, hit the cabin side, 
and then about two bucketsful would dash into 
my eyes, blinding me, and for a moment dazing 
my eyesight. But while I was getting soaked, 
think of poor Doctor and the other two. A half 
smothered choke and scream was the first sound 
as the solid sea broke on their back, into their 
faces, and the cold stream ran down their necks. 
Naiad plunged, recovered, took another dive, 
soaked every one of us to the skin, but never 
shipped a drop into her cockpit to leeward. That 
was for having three reefs in. It was sail enough 
in the puffs. Tanya and Thelema rounded and 
pointed and footed higher so that when we tacked 
to port and stood for New York shore they both 
crossed our bows. They made a long leg west 
and then stood for the home mark. 
Something was wrong aboard oun-boat. She 
did not get ahead as she should, so we slacked 
out main sheet and just then the wind, after a 
slight let up, came out good and hard again. 
Then we did good work, and when after a drown- 
ing out sail to windward we did tack and fetch 
the mark boat we were a thankful crew. Oh! 
my! but it was wet. 
Again we started east, slacked out sheet and 
set jib, and again we made a dizzy run to Scotch 
Caps. Busy Bee, Gloria and Naiad all got there 
at the same time, we ‘overtaking the others 
on the run. Busy Bee to windward, Gloria in 
the middle, her helmsman keeping his eyes on 
3usy Bee, and one of his crew excitedly urging 
him to look out for us to leeward, but poor man,
