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 martne 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 prebably not a little money.

about 11 o'clock, and then found George had 
dressed in oilers and gone on deck. There was 
only an oil coat left, so I put it on and went 
out. Things were black and nasty outside. The 
wind had hauled to the northward and, close 
hauled, Tanya was slashing through it with rain 
spattering over everything. Rubber-soled shoes 
don’t keep one’s feet dry very long in such 
weather, and I soon went below and piled on a 
blue flannel shirt, and on top of that a sweater, 
so from my waist up I kept warm; but all the 
water of my oil coat soaked my breeches and 
from the waist down I was soon cold, and hav- 
ing a slight cold, I felt it all the more. 
Horton’s Point Light was off to starboard 
and Falkner’s Island flashing white to port, but 
Cornfield Light could not be seen. At mid- 
night I took. the helm and Sandy gave me his 
long coat as he went below, but Harry was too 
interested, he stayed on deck and rubbered for

the light. In an hour or so we began to see 
more lights than there are on the Bowery—the 
Sound was full of them to windward. Big 
Sound steamers moved along like glow-worms; 
ocean tugs with their three lights aft and red 
or green side lights loomed out bright, and it 
was a‘hard problem to pick out the fixed red 
and flashing white we were after. Once we 
thought we made it all out distinctly bearing 
N.E., bit just then a lot of tows interfered and 
we were uncertain again. Ahéad of us the red 
Bug Light shone clear with a flashing white well 
to windward, and by counting the intervals, we 
found that was Gull Island, so again we studied 
what we first though’ was Cornfield, and as the 
last tow drew away from it, we made it out 
for certain. So tacking to starboard, we stood 
up for it with the wind and sea both increasing 
fast. Getting nearer, we made out the Oneida 
burning red, white and red Coston lights. But 
where, oh! where, was Busy Bee? We learned 
later she mistook the Bug Light for Cornfield 
and both she and Dahinda went off their course 
looking for it and got lost in the dark. 
We. jibed around the lightship with its two 
huge illuminated birdcages at 3:51 A. M. Sun- 
day morning and hailed Oneida through the 
megaphone as we scudded for home with ‘the

wind by that time blowing half a gale. Tanya 
was doing*her best, about eight.miles an hour, 
with white suds racing past to leeward and sails 
well slacked out heading for Faulkner’s Light just 
ahead. By 4 o’clock I was chilled through, so 
went below, rubbed down with wood alcohol and 
rolled up in the blankets, as I was getting a 
heavy cold. ; 
I had just got into a glow, when there was a 
loud report on deck and a shiver shook the 
boat. Almost instantly Harry shoved the slide 
back and shouted, “All hands on deck!” 
“What’s the matter?” shouted Sandy and I in 
chorus as we jumped fdr wet breeches. 
“Throat halliards!” came the reply. 
That was enough, something had carried 
away. George was up at the mast feeling for 
the halliards when I got there. 
“What’s gone?” I queried.
