Small Yacht Construction 
and Rigging. 
A Complete Manual of Practical Boat and Small Yacht 
Building. With two complete designs and numerous 
diagrams and details. By Linton Hope. 177 pages. 
Cloth. Price, $3.00. 
The author has taken two designs for practical demon- 
stration, one of a centerboard boat 19ft. waterline, and 
the other a cruising cutter of 22ft. waterline. Both de- 
signs show fine little boats which are fully adapted to 
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 
alone; they are merely taken as examples; but what is 
said applies to all wooden yacht building according to 
the best and most approved methods.

THE ADMIRAL’S MISTAKE. 
VIGILANT in his endeavor to prevent un- 
suspecting excursionists being taken to sea in 
boats not provided with life preservers and by 
skippers without licenses, Deputy Surveyor 
Matthew Coneys, rear-admiral of the new cus- 
toms cutter Dalzelline, stood yesterday after- 
noon on the bridge of his stanch craft inspect- 
ing the horizon through a borrowed glass, says 
the New York Times. 
The pilots and operators of small craft are 
becoming shy these days, and the catch of 
wrongdoers has been light. But suddenly Ad- 
miral Coneys’ face lighted up and he swung his 
glass about with such vigor that the new white 
yachting cap of Alexander McKeon, Chief En- 
gineer of the Customs Service, was knocked 
overboard. 
“All steam on,” he shouted, and, handing the 
glass to McKeon, he pointed a bronzed hand 
toward a long black object about two miles 
outside Sandy Hook, and shouted: 
“A motor boat, and she is running away from 
us. It’s a case of no license, and we have got 
her sure.” 
Swiitly the Dalzelline tore through the water, 
spray flying above her bow, and at times leap- 
ing up and wetting the Admiral’s new duck 
trousers. On they went, and just as far ahead 
the low black object kept. She was evidently 
going under full power, for astern the water was 
churned up into a white wake. 
“More steam!” shouted Coneys 
engine room tube. 
Things were sizzling on board. Down below 
they were hanging the monkey wrench on the 
safety valve. 
After seven miles had been covered and the 
long line of Sandy Hook was beginning to dis- 
appear, the black object ahead suddenly made 
a wide circle and turned harborward. 
“To port!” sung out Coneys. ‘She is trying 
to get into harbor again.” 
Coneys next consulted Lloyds to 
what order to give, for the motor 
heading directly tor the Dalzelline. 
W. J. Lampton, the humorist, who was on 
board, ran aft for a life preserver, and “Jimmy” 
Smith, the most popular man in the service, 
ducked below. The black hull could be made 
out a great distance ahead. 
As Coneys looked through his glass he nearly 
dropped them in surprise. The ‘low, rakish 
crait’ had disappeared. 
“She must be a 
ejaculated. 
A few seconds later a long black body arose 
within 200 yards of the Dalzelline, and a shower 
of water sprang heavenward. Smith, with 
courage restored, was the first to sight her. 
“Thar she blows!” he shouted, and he was 
right. Admiral Coneys had spent almost an 
hour chasing a sixty-foot whale.

A COLLIE’S WORK. 
LincoLtn Moore, the eleven-year-old son of 
Frank Moore, a farmer living near here, says 
a Pennington (N. J.) correspondent of the 
Times, had a tussle with a boar recently, and 
would have been gored to death had it not been 
for Bob, his faithful collie. 
The lad had been sent early in the morning 
by his father to drive the cattle to pasture. As 
usual, Bob went along. While on his way the 
boy saw the boar, an immense animal, which had 
broken through a fence, rooting up potatoes in 
the Moore potato patch. The boy attempted to 
chase the boar away, but it turned upon him, 
knocked him down, and gored him with its tusk. 
The boy whistled for the dog, which had been 
driving the cows, and the animal, running up, 
pitched into.the. boar with such vigor that it 
ceased its attack on the boy and finally turned 
and fled. 
Young Moore was so badly injured that he 
lay unconscious on the ground. The dog stood 
guard over him, howling dismally, until its cries 
were heard by the boy’s father, who came and 
carried the injured lad home and had his wounds 
dressed.
