| Here is a pocket manual indispensable to every man 
ho uses a motor-boat. It deals in simple, untechnical 
sshion with the running of the marine gas engine, and 
ith the difficulties that the marine gas engineer is likely 
» meet with. These engines are described, some pages 
‘e devoted to launches in general, with practical advice 
» che man who contemplates purchasing a power boat. 
he main feature of the book, however, is a clear descrip- 
on of the difficulties met with in running a gas engine, 
\eir causes and how to remedy them. In this discussion 
1 technicalities are avoided, and the author has boiled 
jown a vast amount of practical knowledge into small 
}pace and into every-day language. The amateur power 
oat man needs this book, for it will save him much time 
ad trouble, and prebably not a little money.

Wind 
our voyage. was from the eastward and 
blowing quite fresh. Our dock was under the 
lee, and we did not realize how hard it was 
blowing, but were scudding along dead before 
it, having the time of our lives, and heading just 
a little inside of Clausen’s Point. About half 
way across the mouth of Westchester Creek the 
‘wind got around on the other end of the boom 
and she jibed. 
If | live to be as old 
will forget that jibe. 
Methuselah I never 
I could not imagine what 
had happened and was almost frightened to 
death. All I knew was that somehow the sail 
was over on the other side of the boat; my hat 
was gone and | had come pretty near to follow- 
ing it. The mast, which until then had been 
perpendicular, was now leaning forward at an 
angle of at least 20 degrees and a trifle over the 
starboard bow. It was rather a ticklish position 
for two boys of our age to be in. My first 
thought was for home and we ttried our best 
to get the mast out, but it had become jammed 
so we could do nothing with it. All this time 
the boom and sail were dragging in the water 
as 
to leeward, and we were still driving before 
it almost as fast as ever, and heading for Riker’s 
Island. Clausen’s Point was our Mason and 
Dixon line, and until then we had never been 
so far. We next tried to row her head around, 
but the wind in the sail was too much for us. 
There was absolutely nothing to do but keep 
her running before it until we fetched up some- 
where. 
I think it must have been ten minutes before 
I started in to steer her again. I had noticed 
that she would luff until she spilt the wind out 
of the sail and then pay off and go it again. 
I hauled the sheet aft until we got the boom 
out of water and ran dead before it. Luckily 
for us the river was fairly free from vessels, as 
it would have been a hard thing for us to steer 
clear of anything. We must have had one close 
call, as a schooner on the port tack, bound to 
the eastward, crossed our bows, and from the 
remarks the skipper made to us as he shook 
his fist I should imagine he had to change his 
course a trifle to keep us. from. running him 
down. 
We arrived at Riker’s Island a few minutes 
later with quite a suddenness, which relieved us 
of our mast and sail. The shock. when she 
struck was a little too much for the pine thwart 
and it split, the mast, sail and boom going over 
the side and landing high and dry on the beach. 
We were not slow in following them, the cap- 
tain in this case being the last to leave his ship, 
for the reason he was the furthest aft when she 
struck, 
I do not .believe any two boys were ever so 
glad to feel the earth under our feet again as 
we were. We were so glad that we sat on either 
side of the bow, and I think we cried for a good 
half hour or so. 
Until then I had always been envious of 
Robinson Crusoe, but I never even thought of 
him. It was past luncheon time and we were 
scared, wet, tired and hungry, and our place and 
the house looked hundreds of miles away. At 
last the crew, who evidently had the same 
thoughts, saw a,sail coming around by Clausen’s 
Point and asked me if that was not our pilot 

boat. I took one look and that was enough; it 
was her. No shipwrecked. seaman could have 
felt better at the sight of a sail than we did 
seeing that one. It meant that we had been 
missed and that the older boys had been sent 
out to find ws. Our tears vanished as if by 
magic. We shoved the old skiff off and started 
rowing toward her as hard as we could. By 
good luck the tide was running flood and we 
managed to make a little headway, although 
wind and tide set us a good way up into Flush- 
ine Bay. 
We were picked up and scrambled into the 
pilot boat, tied our wreck astern and started to 
beat home. It was slow work, all hands up to 
windward all the time. I found out that one 
of our uncles, had seen us leave the dock, and 
with a pair of glasses watched us through the 
whole cruise, but swears to this day that we
