Gas Engines and Launches. 
Their Principles, Types and Management. 
K. Grain. 132 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.

The Naval Volunteer Cruising Club, 
Brighton, England. 
Tuts club was formed out of the ashes of the 
disbanded Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers 
(Brighton Company), London Corps, in April, 
1892. 
The premises of the club once formed the 
Battery for a four and one-half ton gun (old 
muzzleloading and only good for ballast now) 
with an armory and boat arch and.club room 
for the social members of the old corps. These

premises are situate on the Under esplanade, mid- 
way between the two rivers, and the rooms and 
archways run underneath the celebrated King’s 
Road. 
As probably some of your readers are aware, 
Brighton, although mentioned in the Domesday 
book as Brighthelm’s Town, after Bishop Bright- 
helm, a once famous bishop of the old Saxon 
days, is practically a young town. In 1750 the 

town itself was a poor fishing village situate on 
the upper and lower cliff, now the beach, but 
owing to fierce storms in 1770 the lower part 
of the village was completely destroyed, since 
which time no houses were again erected at the 
lower cliff. 
Brighthelmstone (as Brighton was called until 
1830) remained in obscurity until 1780, when a 
certain Dr. Richard Russell came to the town

to live and recommended sea bathing as bene- 
ficial to health. The doctor who moved in in- 
fluential circles recommended it to the then Prince 
of Wales, afterward King George IV., and the 
place was inundated with the best society people 
and soon became a very fashionable watering 
place. the sing arterward built the Royal 
Pavilion as his marine palace. Brighton has con- 
tinued to prosper and is now a city of 160,000 
people and extends five miles along the Sussex 
coast in the center of a wide bay with Beachy 
Head on the east and Selsey Bill on the west. 
So much for ancient history. Now to go back 
to the Naval Volunteer Cruising Club. When 
in 1892 the conservative parliament in power 
: . ( 
very unwisely disbanded the naval volunteers, the
