Gas Engines and Launches. 
Their Principles, Types and Management. 
K. Grain, 182 pages. Price, $1.25. 
By Francis 
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 prebably not a little money.

trick I kept listening to hear nothing save the 
screech of the gale and the gravel-like spatter 
of the sea as it came in showers clear aft over 
the aft house and me. 
When I struck four bells Oscar came and took 
the wheel and I his place by the mizzen mast 
on lookout. For over an hour I heard nothing. 
But then just as the schooner was firing the 
seas over her almost solid, and I jammed my 
body close up against the lee of the mast so it 
would not wash me over, I thought of a sudden 
I heard a horn. It was clear and quite strong, 
a long growl-like whistle that rose and fell in 
volume as the wind varied in strength. 
Wiping the water off my face I strained my 
eyes in a vain endeavor to see something. Now 
I would hear the horn and then lose it. It got 
me all worked up. Driving through the fog in 
a winter’s gale is bad enough for any seaman, 
but to hear a horn or whistle at intervals all 
the time meant additional danger of collision. 
All that night both watches were kept in 
anxiety and a constant nervous state. The gale 
moderated a little toward morning, but about 8 
o’clock, when daylight began to brighten things 
a little, I was again on lookout and dodging the 
seas again. Once during an extra heavy outfly 
of wind and sea I was crouching behind the miz- 
zen when the whistle again sounded in my ears. 
I listened, with my eyes unconsciously fixed on 
the belaying pins in the mizzen boom, when I 
happened to think the sound seemed to come 
from them, it rose and fell just as the wind 
varied. Looking closer I noticed one iron be- 
laying pin on the mizzen boom was hollow, and 
as I idly ran my finger around jit to wipe the 
drops of water off by accident my finger 
slipped into the end of the pin, and as soon as 
my finger stopped up the hole in its lower end 
the whistle ceased, to begin the minute it was 
removed. 
What a load went off my mind at that dis- 
covery. None but those who have experienced 
such can tell. I pulled the pin out of the rack 
on the boom and took it aft to the captain who 
was listening by Oscar at the wheel. 
“What's the matter? What you want?” snap- 
ped out the old man as I invaded his sacred 
quarters. 
“Nothing,” I answered, holding up the belay- 
ing pin so it emitted its moaning whistle, “only 
here’s the fog horn we’ve been hearing all night.” 
A Yawl for Fiji. 
DesIGNER C. D. Mower has been commissioned 
by Mr. G. M. Hennings, a planter of the island 
of Na Ba Vatu, Fiji, to design him a sea-going 
yawl soft. in length on deck, 35ft. waterline, 13ft. 
beam and 6ft. draft. She will be built of native 
woods and have all the fittings of an up to date 
modern yacht, minus, of course, all gingerbread 
work. 
The trade winds blow strong and steadily, and 
to go to market is a run of 200 miles before 
these trade winds, but to get back home is a 
dead end-on thrash to windward. 
She will have to be therefore an exceptionally 
able and fast sea-going yawl such as many of 
our home yachtsmen would like to have for the 
ocean races that are becoming so popular.
