NOTHER interesting in-

stallment of Lewis R.
Freeman’s story, By Water
Ways to Gotham. A cruise
from Milwaukee to New
York in a 16-foot rowboat,
powered only with an out-
board engine of three horse-
power. Instructive, enter-
taining and thrilling.

NEW series of articles

by Alfred F. Loomis,
written particularly for the
benefit of the young folks.
An instructive story which
will describe the operation
of gas engines, both two
and four-cycle, and written
in elementary § language
which no boy will fail to
comprehend. It will be a
veritable education in gas
engine technique, and all
yachtsmen should see that
their offspring read and
study these articles.

ILLIAM ATKIN has

designed for you an
exceptional little cruiser.
This boat is a flat bottom
type and intended for the
cruiser of moderate circum-
stances. A small engine and
a comfortable boat, suffi-
cient to afford countless
hours of pleasure and recre-
ation to the man with a
desire for a boat, but who
must do his boating in the
least expensive way.

NOTHER valuable edu-

cational feature is an
illustrated article on the use
of current diagrams and tide
tables, written and prepared
by Commander G. T. Rude,
of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey. Every yachtsman
should read and be familiar
with this branch of naviga-
tion, since it will frequently
save hours of time and
many gallons of fuel.

GREAT deal of
confusion
seems to exist
in the minds

of most motor boat-
men as to the proper
National Flag to fly
on the stern staff of
their craft. Probably
the greater number of
the motorboats and
yachts today fly the
yacht ensign, but there
is considerable uncer-
tainty as to whether it
is the proper flag
which should be flown
from this staff.
Strictly speaking, a
yacht should display
the National Flag of
its country from eight
in the morning until
sundown. The flag
which we know as the
Yacht Ensign is not
the United States Flag
and as a matter of fact
has never been adopt-

ed or officially designated as one of
the flags of our country. Therefore,
yachtsmen, to be perfectly correct in
their flag etiquette, should not fly the
Yacht Ensign from the stern staff,
but should fly the National Flag, con-
sisting of the thirteen alternate red
and white stripes with the blue field
and forty-eight stars.

The Yacht Ensign is handed down
to us from a practice adopted nearly
a century ago, before the first steam
yachts or motorboats existed. At
that time, the only form of pleasure
crait were a few boats propelled by
sail. These boats in form and ap-
pearance very closely resembled the
commercial sailing craft of our coun-
try, which at that time were very
numerous on the high seas and har-
bors of our country. Therefore, some
sort of distinguishing signal was
necessary as an outward sign that
the particular boat in question was a
yacht and not engaged in commercial
Pursuits. Our thirtieth Congress au-
thorized, on August 7th, 1848, that all
licensed yachts shall use a signal of
the form, size and color prescribed by
the Secretary of the Navy. The Sec-
retary of the Navy, at that time,
designated the Yacht Ensign which

we have today as the special signal for
yachts, and for years it was flown from
the rigging of yachts in addition to the
American Flag, which was displayed in
the same position as on commercial
crafts. At the time there was no
thought that the Yacht Ensign would
in any way replace the American Flag
or be used in its stead.

With the coming of the American
yacht, and particularly the motor yacht
of today, the real use for the Yacht
Ensign and the real purpose for which
it was originally intended, no longer
exists. From their outward appear-
ance any form of yacht today, either
a sail or motor, can be easily distin-
guished from commercial craft. There-
fore, it follows that to be strictly in
accordance with etiquette and law, our
American yachts and motor craft
should fly the National Flag and not
the Yacht Ensign aft.

However uncertain it may be as to
the proper flag or Yacht Ensign to fly
aboard our craft when they are in
commission, yet the practice and law
as to the proper flag to fly ashore is
very clear. As mentioned above, the
Yacht Ensign is simply designated as
a distinguishing signal to be flown on
yachts. It was never intended that the
Yacht Ensign should in any way oF
at any time be flown ashore or any-
where else except on a yacht in com-
mission. (Continued on page 72)

The Yachting History of Colonel E. H. R. Green, Railroad Builder,
Capitalist, Philanthropist and Patron of Motor Boating

HILE How-
ard Lyon
and I were

sitting out
on the Flamingo
Dock one day just
before the Miami
Midwinter Regatta, I
looked across Bis-
cayne Bay at a large
houseboat, tied up to
Star Island, that had
aroused my curiosity
for over two months.
“Who belongs to
her?” I asked him,
pointing her out.

“Oh, that is the
Colonel, that be-
longs to Colonel
Green. He is a real
yachtsman. You
ought to know him.”
Then he went on to
tell me a lot of the
Colonel’s experiences
afloat. I interrupted
to say that they
sounded good enough
for MoToR BoatinG
and the upshot of
the conversation was
that I got Lyon to
intercede with Colo-
nel Green at the next
meeting of the Re-
gatta Committee,
and he, with consid-
erable reluctance,
agreed to be inter-
viewed.

I promptly grabbed
Rosey, to take some
Pictures, drove over
to Star Island, and
found the Colonel
standing on his dock.
These big men are

doubtless constantly overrun with
reporters, and as this was my first
experience on a regular interview,
I didn’t know quite where to begin.
The first thing that struck me was
that Colonel Green must be a

enthusiasm. He or-
dered me to come
aboard with a gruff-
ness that was not
inhospitable, and
promptly walked into
an elevator, shut the
door and pushed a
button. This took
my breath away. I
have seen some great
schemes on _ yachts
before, but this one
certainly deserves the
blue ribbon for in-
genuity in getting
around an incapacity
that would drive
most men out of the
sport.

By the time I had
decided that we were
on a boat and not in
an apartment hotel,
the elevator stopped,
the door opened, and
we walked out of one
of the smokestacks,
mind you, onto the
deck. We looked
around here a bit,
Rosey did his stuff,
faded out of the pic-
ture, the Colonel
gave me another ride
in the elevator, down
to the promenade
deck, or whatever
you call the second
deck of a yacht big
enough to have three
decks, and we sat
down out forward in
extremely comfort-
able chairs, com-
manding the best

Colonel with what I tried to make

then and adding, “Which he done.”)

Burnin ig B reakers,
Bibulous Blusterer;

ELL, Chap, was you the person what
complained of the noise in Cur de
Lyon’s room in the Flamingo along

about two o’clock last night? They blames it
on me, but I wasn’t the guy what done it. You
knows that my room it was next door. The
Curdled Lyon, he won a bag of swell golf clubs
for coming in second in the Free-for-all at the
Midwinter Regatta. Maybe he might of come
in first, but the big dumbbell goes into the race
with a party of seven guests aboard
and then he tries to tell me that he
thought the race, it was the next day,
and the first thing he knows a gun it
bangs off just as he was opposite the
judges’ boat and he sees a lot of boats
start, so he goes along too, and that
night he reads in the paper as how he
comes in second, and tonight they
hands him a bag full of golf clubs and
the first thing he done, it was to crack
me in the shin with a putter, showing
me as how it is done.

But as I was saying before, along
about two A. M., just as I was getting
to bed early, he comes crashing into his
room with a lot of other notorious
characters. Right off I hears Wilbur
Young start in to tell somebody that
Ira Hand, he was a total loss any-
ways and Ira, he horns in and says as
how Wilbur isn’t got enough brains to
know what a total loss is when he sees

one. About the time they has run out of
fuel, Harry Greening he starts up and says
as how the periphereal speed of a surface
propeller, it is such that when the square
root of the slip it is divided by ten, that at
99 knots one of the blades of the wheel it
is sure to fly off on account of the great
torque. I doesn’t know about that kind of
torque, but their talk, it was getting so loud
that pretty soon the night watchman, he
bangs on the door and he says, stern-like,
“Hey, does you think that this, it is the
Senate in session? Doesn’t you know that
they is some respectable people in this hotel
what wants to sleep? Cut it out.” Which
they done.

They is a lot of things what I wanted to
ask you about. I woulda asked you them
face to face, but you snook off last night and
took the train back to New York when we

none of us was looking. What was the
matter? Was you suspected of bootleg-
sing? Or did one of these Bronzed
\Mammas try to speak to you? Or what?
Anyways, what I wants to know is as
follows: When they is only eight men
appointed on the Regatta Committee, how
; that when you holds a meeting eighty
fellers horns in? Why didn’t I get some
kind of a prize? Everybody else down
here got one, whether they was in a boat
race or just talking all the time. Why
does all the yachtsmen come from Detroit ?
While you is thinking up suitable an-
swers to these questions, I proposes to
tell the public something about this Mid-
winter Regatta. In the first place, they
has a meeting of the Regatta Committec.
Commodore Gus Schantz, he opens the
meeting with a prayer, that they has a
chance race. Then Commodore Kotcher,
he makes a speech, either for or against
it, 1 forgets which. Then ten other fellers
from Detroit, they makes speeches, either
for or against it, I forgets which. Then
you puts it to a vote and everybody but
Gus Schantz, they votes against it. Then
you appoints a committee to clear all the
foating bottles off’n the course. Then :
Gus Schantz, he makes a speech in favor ;
of having a chance race, and when you
calls him to order, ten other fellers from
Detroit, they gets up, singly and in pairs,
and they speaks, for or against it, I for-
gets which, including Gar Wood, whe
gets up and claims that his runabouts,
they was the only gentlemanly runabouts
what would runabout the course. No
vote was taken. Then you appoints the ’
Chief of Police to take charge of the
Police, which he probably appreciated.
Then Commodore Schantz, he gets up
and proposes that they has a Chance
Race. Then you appoints the Chief of
the Fire Department to take charge of
the fires, which it was a intelligent thing
lor you to do, I thinks. Then you asks
Ira Hand if he wants to make a speech
and he gets up and he says as how he has /
nothing to say, for which I thinks they :
ought to give him the Gold Cup.

Then Gus Shantz, he gets up and says
as how it would be a good idea to have —

By LEWIS R. FREEMAN

The first part of the Adventure cruise story, By Water Ways to Gotham
began in April MoToR BoatinG and described many of the problems inci-
dental to fitting out the boat and securing the needed equipment for its

cruise.

It is being made in an eighteen foot runabout, fitted with a two-

cylinder Elto outboard engine as its sole power plant. The intention is to
navigate single handed from Milwaukee to New York, via the Lakes and
Rivers. Due to the limited space on board a small boat the big problem is

to find space to stow the necessary baggage and provisions.

This install-

ment finds the boat actually starting on its voyage.

Up THE WEST SHORE OF LAKE MICHIGAN
Part II

the man who. sails the Great Lakes is better off

than the navigator of the major salt water seas.
That is on the score of the availability and dependability
of weather forecasts. Completely surrounded by settled
regions, reports of meteorological changes in every direc-
tion makes it possible to forecast the approach of general
storms with comparative certainty. On ocean coasts, on
the other hand, the great seaward area is largely a blank
from the forecaster’s standpoint, and considerable dis-
turbances may descend unheralded save by the some-

_ HERE is one particular—and one only—in which

times cryptic barometer. Radio reports from ships ply-
ing the regular sea lanes have mitigated this difficulty
considerably, but such weather service is hardly com-
parable to that available in a region where the move-
ments of storms can be charted hour by hour in what-
ever direction they are swooping.

Since by far the greater part of the course I had laid
out for my voyage through the Lakes was to be along
coasts where weather reports would only be available
belatedly if at all, there was really no great comfort to
be extracted from a condition of which only the regular

some heart from it, however, was due to the fact that

navigator could take full advantage. That I did take _ into the oil- and coal-dust-streaked tongue of water called
the Milwaukee River and started for the Yacht Club on

regular Weather Bureau service was going to be avail- the outer harbor. It was like throwing a snow-baby into

able to the several Coast Guard stations located at con-
yenient intervals along the first, and conceivably the
worst, leg of my voyage—the open and‘stormy west coast
of Lake Michigan. With everything still to learn about
Great Lakes navigational conditions, this, with reason-
able care and luck, would give a fair chance to get
shaken down for the work along the wilder and more

unsettled coasts far-
ther along.

The fair weather
promised for the day
set for my departure
from Milwaukee
came on as forecast.
The morning was
mild, windless and
cloudless, with not
even a blur of murk-
iness hanging as a
threat on the north-
eastern horizon. I
was to learn later
that most of the days
that came with these
smiling, shining
morning faces had
clubs behind their
backs in the way of
afternoon thunder-
squalls. But this day
was an_ exception,
bent on playing out
the game with the
cards thrown down
on the table at the
opening dawn-time
deal.

A highly welcome
recruit for the run as
far as Green Bay
turned up at the last
moment in the per-
son of Newell Tel-
lander of the Mil-
waukee Yacht Club.
He had just brought
his own yawl through
the tail of the late
storm from some-
where on the north-
ern lake, but was
quite unable to resist
the temptation to
find out at first hand
how the same waters
would behave to a
rowboat. For my
part, overloaded
though my little craft
Promised to be, I
was only too glad to
have with me for the
initiatory period one
of the most experi-
enced of Lake Michi-
gan yachtsmen. I was

event of a forced landing in rough weather. Just how like that of a mill-pond, one could keep dry on a plank.

my boat was going to be taken in through breakers and
beached was a problem which I knew was going to take
a deal of solving, and it was reassuring to know that my
first tentative experiments would have the benefit of an

extra head and hand.

lo the accompaniment of the cheers of crowds on the
bridges and the tooting of whistles, we launched the boat

a pit of tar, with the consequence that what were one
moment glossy dove-gray sides, sparkling under a coat
of indurated spar varnish as the boat flashed through
the sunlight on her maiden plunge, were transformed in
an instant to the dusky, unrefulgent smeariness of the
bows of a self-dumping coal-barge.

Lohengrin’s homing

couldn’t have made a
sadder mess of it.
And that was the
launching, the occa-
sion so carefully and
prayerfully prepared
for by sailors that all
may be _ propitious
and of good omen!
No wonder our
friends at the Yacht
Club asked if we'd
replaced the _ tradi-
tional bottle of cham-
pagne with a coal-
hod.

And the omen of
that far from auspi-
cious launching was
singularly prophetic.
A month and a half
later running through
Harlem River and
Hell Gate and across
Long Island Sound
to Flushing — the
voyage that had be-
gun in a mile of oil
and coal-dust, fin-
ished in ten miles of
garbage. Yet be-
tween these unsavory
havens of departure
and arrival stretched
two thousand miles
of the cleanest,
greenest water, and
a hundred days of
the liveliest and most
exhilarating naviga-
tion I have ever
known.

What with a fare-
well luncheon party
at the Yacht Club
and the infinite odds
and ends of loading,
trimming and a final
shake-down of outfit,
it was close to four-
thirty before we were
ready to make a
start. With the ad-
dition of Tellander’s
weight, the boat sat
even lower in the
water than I had an-
ticipated; but that
was not a matter to
worry about until the

life-saving records in the service, could not be taken

otherwise than seriously. .
“Hug the coast pretty close all the way round the west

The coast guard crew at Sheboygan take their boat out for a practice trip

and north shores of Michigan,” he said. “After you get
to the Straits of Mackinac you will have islands to dodge
behind most of the way to the foot of Georgian Bay.
But don’t take any unnecessary chances along the oper
coasts of Lake Michigan. Don’t leave harbor if the
weather is threatening, and if it becomes threatening
while you are out, head for the nearest shore and make
your landing before the seas get up. Don’t risk keeping
out on the lake with bad weather coming up from any
direction. A squall off the land may blow you out into
the middle of the lake even if it doesn’t swamp you,
while one from the lake will quickly get up such a sea
that you can’t count on making a safe landing through
the breakers. You'll find it a good rule not to get over
four or five miles offshore at any time, no matter how
much distance you can save by cutting from point to
point.”

“But on a day of really settled weather—” I started to
protest. I was ready enough to keep port in storms, but
still harbored an idea that lost time could be made up
by cutting corners when the going was good in between.

Wrinkles etched by a hundred storms on Captain Kin-
caide’s weather-beaten face deepened and lengthened as
he tried to repress a smile of amused indulgence.

“T forgot you were a stranger to these waters,” he said,
half apologetically ; “else you’d know that there isn’t such
a thing as settled weather on the Great Lakes, either
in summer or winter. The fairest morning is likely to
give you the foulest afternoon. You can’t take liberties
with them in a ten thousand-ton freighter, let alone
where you can beach ahead of bad weather. It’s better
to be safe than sorry.”

It has since occurred to me that these few simple
admonitions of Captain Kincaide’s might be framed as
an epitome of directions for rowboat and canoe naviga-
tion of the Great Lakes. My respect for the wisdom

of them. increased with experience, and especially as a

20

sequel to the events following the one occasion on which
I held them in flagrant disregard. Just as long as I kept
them well in mind and acted accordingly, I was safe,
or comparatively so; and the time I failed to heed them
I was sorry, very sorry, indeed.

With but four hours of daylight left, Port Washing-
ton, thirty miles to the north, was the only convenient
harbor to be made for the night. Running out through
the anchored yachting fleet, we headed. up for the north
entrance of Milwaukee Harbor. The water was still
glassy smooth, with barely a lop against the sides of 4
breakwater which, three days previously, I had seen
almost completely obscured by the heavy surges crash-
ing in against it from the lake. Outside was a continua-
tion of the mirrorlike calm, with the glistening blue-
green surface of the lake stretching unbroken to where
water and sky merged in the slaty blur of smoke floating
above the main steamer track.

Running due north, we passed close to the concrete
crib of the old Milwaukee waterworks and headed up
the bluffy coast. Water with barely enough movement
to sparkle in the declining afternoon sun lapped an un-
ending ribbon of silver-bright beach, with patches of
sward behind and knots of trees still fresh with early
summer’s new leafiness. A flock of ducks floated lazi’,
doubled in size by their reflections in the mirror below.
Seaward, a sloop with drooping sail, becalmed, waited
for a breath of evening breeze.

There was something strangely familiar in the almost
Nirvanic calm of that unwinding diorama of seascape
and landscape which not even the staccato of a hard-
hitting little motor could quite dispel, and presently |
recalled what it was. It was the Great Lakes as I had
first glimpsed them, the characteristic Great Lakes picture
which had been in my mind when I planned my original
quiet water voyage—‘“just one silver strand after another

exception of a few streams that rise in snow-clad

it is doubtful if such a thing as a salt water river really

geographical boundaries of the American Continent, and
largely within the political jurisdiction of the United
States, there is a stretch of waterway which to the motor-
boatman, yachtsman, and lover of indescribably beautiful
scenery and geographical phenomenon is nothing more
nor less than a salt water river a thousand miles in length.
Moreover, this extraordinary sheet of water has approxi-
mately 350,000 miles of shore line, and in places is as
much as 350 fathoms deep.

That a river a thousand miles in length can have a
shore line equivalent to the distance fourteen times
around the earth at the equator, makes it obvious that
this unusual salt water river has shores that are very

irregular. Its surface is studded with innumerable
islands—islands ranging from mere snags of rock to
small continents; some of them larger than many of the
independent nations of the world. There are bays and
inlets along this stream as uncountable as the stars of
the Milky Way. These range from tiny coves to great
sounds large enough and deep enough to provide safe
and roomy anchorage for assembling in a single group
all the combined merchant ships and naval vessels of the
seven seas.

This tremendous salt water river with its innumerable
bays, inlets, coves, and sounds—its almost interminable
shore line of virgin forests, rugged snow-clad mountains,
titanic glaciers, and sparse human population—is known,
for lack of a better name, as The Inside Passages. A
iractional portion of its shore and water area has been
viewed by tens of thousands of exclamatory first-time
tourists, most of whom have enthused over or been

utterly bewildered by the grandeur of the ever-changing
panorama before them as they stood upon the decks of
steamships plying between Seattle, Washington, and
Skaguay, Alaska. A mere handful of motorboatmen and
yachtsmen have learned that here is one of the most
magnificent summer playgrounds on the face of the earth.
In generations to come millions will learn of this mar-
velous region, which today is known to comparatively
few. Perhaps at some early future date some clever wit
will devise a name more colorful than the sorrowful
achromatic duo of almost meaningless words, Inside
Passages, now used to designate a terrestrial wonderland
upon which volumes might be written without even
beginning to tell the story.

It was in July last year that Lionel W. Wiedey and
the writer dropped off a Southern Pacific train at Port-
land, Oregon, to supervise the final details of certain
alterations and shipment te Seattle of a sixteen foot boat
with which we proposed to carry out our own personally
and privately conducted cruise through the world’s great-
est salt water river. Everybody who derived a frag-
mentary inkling of our plans knew we were insane. Our
boat was merely a sixteen-foot Evinrude skiff—the little
round-bottom spruce boat built over an oak frame, and
cataloged by the Evinrude Motor Company, of Milwau-
kee, Wisconsin, for use on quiet inland lakes and rivers.
For purposes of locomotion it had a 2 h. p. single
cylinder Evinrude outboard motor and a pair of oars.

Sometimes
when we made
camps at high
tide, our boat
would be
beached high
and dry a mile
or more from
water when the
tide receded. If
a landing was
made on a
gradually slop-
ing shore the
boat could not
belaunched
again until the
next high tide

This boat was purchased out of stock at the Milwaukee
frm’s Portland branch. The only alteration made was
to fit it out with a centerboard and an 18-foot mast carry-
ing 250 square feet of cat-rigged sail. This diminutive craft had
neither air chambers nor the self-bailing feature with which
sea-going life boats are conventionally equipped. Likewise it
had no cabin and no provision for sleeping or preparing meals
on board. To anyone with the slightest knowledge of boats it
was evident that this little 300-pound cockleshell couldn’t
weather much of a sea without being pounded under. One old
Columbia River rat among those already convinced we were
crazy, declared that a heavy fog condensing upon the walls of
our centerboard well would fill our boat and founder us—there-
fore, “How in the name of Jehosaphat we expected to cruise
from Alaska back to the United States” was “too fur up the
gulch” for him.

Further conversation with these boatmen, however, elicited
the information that not one of them had any conception of
the route we intended to cruise. They visualized our tiny boat
being buffeted about like a match stem upon the hissing waves
of the open Pacific. We, on the other hand, had spent months
studying detailed navigation charts and maps—soliciting in-
formation from Canadian and American Government sources,
salmon fishermen, sourdough Alaskans, and about everybody
else from whom a shred of reliable information might be
gained. We had laid out our course through the Inland
Passages. We had the tide tables almost committed to memory,
and had scheduled our course to move WITH the tides as much
as possible, to camp each night, and eat our meals on shore—
and never to be beyond paddling distance from dry land with
the aid of a life preserver, if we should be so unfortunate as to
meet with mishap. We knew every point along the thousand-
mile route where we could buy groceries, and had arranged for
supplies of gasoline to be awaiting us along the shores over the
longer portions of the trip where distance and the limited carry-
ing capacity of our craft would not permit transporting the
required amount of fuel.

In due time we arrived in Seattle, called at the freight house
for our boat and equipment, and trucked the whole outfit to
Colman Dock, where it was put aboard United States Eagle
Boat No. 57. Squeaking against the dock, and tugging at her
moorings on a rising tide, the naval craft was getting up steam

First Hand Experiences of Clever Bootleggers Whose

Business Is Full of Thrills, Adventure and Cunning

it is exceedingly rough and no small boat, except-

ing a rum runner, will venture out. Sometimes they
don’t come back. There is a certain amount of shooting,
especially when the Federal customs men protestingly
capture a rum runner. But rum running today is a kind
of fox and hounds proposition, full of thrills and adven-
ture, and with some of the cleverest get-aways ever born
of resourceful cunning.

Banty Hogan, a broad little Italian, is responsible for
these experiences. Lest there be any question about it,
I wouldn’t know Banty again if I ever saw him, and this
is only hearsay evidence. He said he was employed by
a Newark real estate syndicate to haul liquor from the
rum fleet. They paid him $5.00 a case. They also fixed
the prohibition people that were fixable, nullified the
efforts of the over-zealous officials and kept their men
out of trouble. If caught one day, Banty says he would
have been bailed out and would have run another boat
next day. Banty might deny these yarns and prove he

But when he told me these experiences, Banty was fired
with the spirit of adventure. A born smuggler—he en-

and the ready market of thirsty gentlemen.

The Sleeve Valve Mechanism Applied to Power Marine

T HAS been a foregone conclusion that the Knight

type of gasoline engine would eventually find its way

into the marine field. It remained only for a responsi-
ble company to secure the rights to build this type of
machine, and the announcement that the Loew Manufac-
turing Company of Cleveland is now building a complete
line of Knight type marine engines is not surprising. The
most surprising feature is that this step was not taken
years ago. Earl H. Croft, Vice-President of the Company,
is the one mainly responsible for this new. develop-
ment in the marine field. Actual performance tests of
these engines have demonstrated that it is a superior
power plant. The Loew-Knight engine is not a new
engine. It is not untried, but severe tests have shown

The six cylinder Loew-
Knight engine is an absolute-
ly quiet machine, and free
from vibration. These ma-
chines have demonstrated
their qualities in service

its ability to stand up over long periods of time.

The yacht Sylvia III has a remarkable record for reli-
able service with Loew-Knight engines. She is powered
with a pair of eight cylinder 6 by 9 inch engines, which
have given a wonderful account of themselves over four
years of hard service. She is one of several classes of
boats for which the Loew Manufacturing Company of
Cleveland is now building a silent engine. This boat is
9914 feet long with a 16-foot beam, and was built for
Logan G. Thomson, of Hamilton, Ohio, who remarks
that these engines have demonstrated to his entire satis-
faction that the silent Knight is a remarkably silent,
smooth, dependable, and satisfying marine power plant.
Their operation insures freedom from carbon troubles.

An interesting model of an entirely different
type is that of the U. S. S. Dakota, made by Mr.
Myers. It is a working model that is controllable
from the shore by radio waves.

The box model of the U. S. S. Monitor is his-
torically interesting and is probably contempo-
raneous.

The bone model of a whaleboat is a fine piece of
sailor work, as it shows the fine lines of these
boats in the difficult medium of whalebone. It
probably belonged to the Scottish whale ship
Dundee of about 1860, and is exhibited by N. F.
Emmons.

Charles H. Candler’s model of the French
Galiote 4 Bombes, Expiation, of about 1774, is
unique, in that by means of turning a handle in
the base, it will open in the middle, to show the
interior construction.

The French Admiralty Model of a double-ended
ship proposed by Admiral Willaumez, to be called
the Amphisdrome, but never built, is interesting
as an idea. It has bows with rudders at both
ends, and the sails are arranged so that it could
sail either way. It is accompanied by a portrait of
the Admiral, the date being 1830, and is lent by
Junius S. Morgan, Jr.

The French Navy always were great experi-
menters. On the Charente River there is a long
row of obsolete experimental vessels, of weird
and wonderful shapes, which they can never use
but seem unwilling to break up.

There were some of Col. H. H. Rogers’ incom-
parable Royal dockyard models of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries, from the Chuckfield
Park Collection of Charles Sergison.

Charles R. Patterson’s model of the fishing
schooner Columbia is interesting as an accurate
record of these fast craft, one supposes will not
be with us much longer. The same may be said

This is cataloged a topsail schooner and is replete with
quaint anachronisms and odd features

of the Block Island boat made by Irving R. Wiles. Block
Island, is named for one Capt. Adrian Block, who in 1613
built the first New Amsterdam vessel, called the Onrest.

The collection of twelve canoes lent by Alfred C. Bossom
were very interesting as being real native American. They
were made by the natives of Vancouver Island, British Co-
lumbia, Queen Charlotte Island and Alaska, and show the
types they use for seal and whale hunting and the artistic
way they decorate them with carvings and paint. Accom-
panying these was a collection of canoe paddles from the
same neighborhood, also finely decorated.

E. W. Ottie’s Spanish Galleon and Dutch ship are con-
scientious work, giving a fine decorative effect, as is Fred-
erick Stern’s Spanish ship of about 1588, made from a paint-
ing by Aert Van Antum, in the Rijks-museum, Amsterdam.

A few oddities, ancient and modern, serve to relieve the
intensity, such as the Amphisdrome, mentioned; the vessel
with a very modern racing hull, topsail schooner rig and a
complete set of brass cannon as an afterthought, or the line
of battleship constructed entirely of paper.

Some of the marinalia other than models are quite fasci-
nating and range from an admiral’s hat or a sailor’s ditty-
box to a Japanese compass.

Whitney Warren showed some fine old astrolabes of the
sixteenth century. They are beautiful workmanship, but I
would not like to have to navigate with their aid only. The
eighteenth century octant dedicated to King Louis XVI is,
however, quite a practical instrument, though very heavy.
Interesting also is the original drawing of a ship in drydock,
French, seventeenth century, from which Mr. Warren had
his inspiration for the facade of the New York Yacht Club
building.

Clarkson A. Collins, Jr., lent a scale model of the foremast
of H. M. S. Victory, of 1756, showing the effect of the shor
after the battle of Trafalgar. It is made from a piece of the
original mast, removed after the battle.

Not the least interesting to those technically inclined were
the old books of navigation and ship construction.

credited. In-1910 Dixie, one
time winner of the Gold Cup,
was powered with an eight
cylinder motor that weighed
over a ton! At the time her
motor was considered the last
word in marine engine prac-
tice, and with all this weight
it developed but a trifle over
200 h.p., turning but 900 r.p.m.!
Even at that Dixie was good
for at least 36 miles an hour.
Put in one of these little jewel-
motors like the Wright Gold
Cup modei, or the Packard of
the same cylinder capacity, in
place of the old lumbering
motor that propelled Dixie to
fame, and that same old craft
would make the miles fly!
Looking at the problem from
the forty different angles pos-
sible the same conclusion is
reached, namely, that it is the
wonder motors now made,

The hydro-foil types of rudder which would seem to have
many decided advantages over the older type rudder

and the attention given to the little details, that make
high speed on the water possible; the present form of

hull being a secondary consideration.

There does not seem to be a new thing under the sun

and so for the items men-
tioned below I am not
claiming originality, as I
have no desire to blossom
forth as an inventor. In-
ventors are always being
imposed upon by capital,
and the iron heel of the
almighty dollar is forever
going into the other man’s
pocket; no, I am no in-
ventor,-and the other man
can have the dollars.

It seems to me that
some one should start the
ball rolling away from the
present trend of runabout
design, if for no other rea-
son than for the fun of the
thing, which my old friend
sill Nutting says is the
best reason in the world.
And so I am contributing
the thoughts shown here-
with and in the sketches so
that everyone may see
them and those who will
may profit thereby.

Beginning with Fig. 1 I show the kind of runabout I
should build for competition in the Gold Cup Races
scheduled for the last of August on Manhasset Bay. She
would be 27 feet 9 inches in length over all; 25 feet 10
inches on the water line; and have a beam of 5 feet 7
inches. The freeboard at the bow would be somewhat
less than amidships at which point it would be 2 feet.
The hull would be of the double end type with all parts
above the bottom stream lined after the practice of aero-
nautical engineering. Rather than the usual concaved
bottom sections which seem-to have become current
practice without exhaustive experimentation for com-
parison with other forms I should design the boat with
absolutely straight buttock lines running parallel to the
keel and the sections would have the form shown in Fig.

it must be remembered there is nothing new

for speedy craft in particular. Some one has figured

stern was saved, a matter of
50 to 60 pounds; that at least
another 50 pounds were saved
by the elimination of the bot-

tom construction, and the
deck; 100 pounds, at least.
Then there is a saving in
wetted surface, better turning
ability, and far better ability to
keep going at full speed in
water that would be too rough
for the square-sterned type to
go at all. Another advantage
of the sharp stern is that a
great reduction is made in the
wind resistance. This is a
matter that, until the last year,
has entirely escaped the de-

Next Month—A Flat Bottom
Cruiser

An unusual little craft has been de-
signed by William Atkin to appear in
next month’s MoToR BoatinG. This
is to be a novel cruiser of 21 feet
length and 6 feet 11 inches beam. It
is of the flat bottom type, which makes
it simple and inexpensive to build, and
not being in the high speed class will
require only a small engine to drive it
Boats of this type

each of which turned out to be supe-
rior to the one before it.
tions of this little boat are very good,
and there is also sufficient room in the
cabin to make it useful.
it will be quite the equal of any other
shallow draft craft of its

The construction shown on
the plans is of the sim-
plest kind, having 13 frames
spaced 1 foot 6% inches for
athwartship strength; with
clamps, stringers, keel, and
planking for longitudinal
strength. The planking is laid
double, :inside running diag-
onal at angle of 45 degrees to
the keel, and outside normal to
the keel; with nothing between
but a coat of Jeffery’s liquid
marine glue. Only a few days
ago my friend George W.
Smith, Jr., who had charge of
the Naval Aircraft Factory,
Philadelphia, during the war,
told me that the flying boat
hulls built after the manner of
Cannonball were the ones that

The propor-

As a sea boat

speed of 20 miles or more
should be to some _ extent
streamlined, for the boat so
modeled will be faster than her square-sterned sister, or
her sister that carries a lot of projections above the deck.
Another thing to consider in connection with the sharp
stern is the fact that it has greater strength than the
broad transom, is less prone to leak, and that it is much
easier to build as well, requires less lumber, fastenings,
and paint. Then from the standpoint of appearance it is
far better than the chopped off stern. With the weights
of the motor, gasoline and crew placed somewhat for-
ward of where these would be in a wide-sterned boat,
the trim and balance, while the boat is under way, will
be quite all right.
It will’ be noticed from the plans that Cannonball is
20 feet 11 inches in over-all length, 19 feet 5 inches on
the water line, 5 feet 414 inches in breadth, and draws

lasted longest, ar4 were light-
er, than the ce:aplicated bent
frame type, having a thousand
little members fastened with a million, so to speak, screws
and rivets. I was rather glad to hear this as I have also
found by experience that the same is true.

If there is a difficult question to solve it is the
one concerning the best motor to use in a_ boat
of this kind. As I see the thing, and if I could
afford it, I should use a Wright Gold Cup motor, 260
h.p. on a weight of less than 400 pounds, providing the
reverse gear is dispensed with. Cannonball would then
come within the 625 cubic inch cylinder displacement
class limits of the Mississippi River Power Boat Asso-
ciation rules and would be fast for that class. My esti-
mate of her speed with a motor of this size and weight
is 58 miles an hour, and that is moving. However, as
I am far from the Ritzy state of pocket that brings a

Wright motor within my means, I should go to the other
extreme and install a three or four-cylinder Pierce-
Boutin two-cycle motor, direct connected to the shaft,
or at most with a one-way clutch. The three-cylinder
of this size would propel Cannonball at a speed of 35
miles an hour, and the four at a speed of 40 miles. In
this matter I am assuming that the two-cyclers are to
be of the high-speed type. There are a lot of motors in
between these that will give good results, among them
being the four-cylinder Hali-Scott, the F-6 Scripps, the
Fay & Bowen L. N. 42 special; the Robert’s model A;
N. J. M. model 8, etc. The motor should not weigh
much over 575 pounds and the more turns it makes the
more the speed of the boat will be.

There seems little use in my advising the proper size
and form of propeller for Cannonball now. Those who
contemplate building the boat may write, giving name
and model of the motor which they have in mind for the
job. With that iniformation I can prescribe the size
propeller which seems best for the boat. ae

3y all means lay the lines down on your building
floor to full size, for in building a boat of this kind it
is absolutely necessary to follow the dimensions to
within a very small limit; the slightest hump or hollow
in the bottom of any hydroplane is fatal to its perform-
ance; the edges of the chines must be fair and exactly
like the lines, otherwise the results will be disappointing.
Do not change the design, nor the details of construc-
tion. Materials, however, may be substituted, for as in
some parts of the country it is impossible to secure those
shown on the plans. In making substitution, though,
bear in mind that it is imperative to keep down weight
and so use as light woods as it is possible to buy. Their
long life is not so important, because boats of this kind
will not stay together for more than four or five years,
and even poplar will last longer than this in and out of
the water. ;

The keel should be made first; this is in two lengths,
as shown, these being separated by the step. The keel
will be made of 1% by 6 inch oak or yellow pine and
will be rabbeted % inch deep and 1% inches wide, thus
forming a secure and wide landing for the inner edge
of the larboard planking. The after end of the keel will
be an absolutely straight line, while the fore member
will be straight from the step to a point a few inches
forward of station 3. From this point it sweeps up to
form a fair line with the foot of the stem, as shown in
the drawings of the lines. The sweep can be bent in
the fore part of the keel when it is set up on the build-
ing stocks.

The stem will be made of a hackmatack knee 233
inches thick and dressed down, as shown. At the deck
it will be moulded 3 inches, and at the foot about 31%
inches being tapered between to form a fair line. If a
hackmatack knee cannot be secured, the stem can be
built up with yellow pine, spruce or fir, making it of
three pieces so as to eliminate cross grain. The rabbet
must be cut to the thickness of both layers of planking,
or 7-16 inch. The stem will be fastened to the keel with
two %-inch galvanized flat head iron bolts having the
heads let into the keel flush with the bottom; nuts inside
Over washers.

The stern post will be made of a piece of 2% by 3%-
inch oak and fastened to the keel by the 1%4-inch thick

Tasdsve

hackmatack knee shown, using %-inch bolts for fasten-
ings. The two bolts into the stern can be removed later
and made to hold the strut to the stern. The post will
be rabbeted for the reception of the side planks, this
rabbet being exactly the same for the length of the post.
The after face of the stern will be finished 134 inches
wide.

The thirteen frames will be made after the manner
shown at section of frame 6. Sides and bottom mem-
bers will be made of white oak % by 2 inches and
doubled up on the bottoms with the %-inch thick floor
timbers. These timbers will be fastened to the after
side of each frame with %-inch galvanized iron bolts.
At the corner of the chine the frames will simply butt
together, being held secure by the floor timbers. I
should not cut the notches for the clamps, chine piece
or seam battens until the frame is entirely set up.

The rudder should be made and fitted before the
planking is applied; this will be made of steel with a
post made of 11/16 inch diameter shafting with the
lower end slotted to take a steel blade % inch thick.
The blade will be 9 inches long by 10 inches deep, and
having the lower forward corner rounded off as shown.
The blade will be riveted to the post. A wedge-shaped
block will be fitted under a regular light pattern stuffing
box and fastened with bolts. There must be a thrust
block above the top of the stuffing box to prevent the
rudder from twisting and splitting the keel. This will
be fastened in later and joined to the motor stringers
with metal angles as shown. Notice that the rudder
post rakes aft.

The step log will be made of a solid piece and cut to
fit the shape of the bottom of the boat and also having
the deep rabbet cut in forming the step. This log will
be made of white oak, for it must be strong, because
this is structurally the weakest part of the boat. The
keel ends, and the ends of the chine pieces will be bolted
to the step log and also set in marine glue. Here if
any place the craft will leak, and therefore the fitting
and fastening cannot be too well done.

I should use one of the Hubbard Ericcson’s adjustable
bronze shaft logs and stuffing boxes for this part of the
work, for this is easy to fit, and if the bronze base is
bolted to the keel with a canvas gasket laid in glue the
thing will remain water-tight for the lifetime of the boat.
Another thing, the adjustable stuffing box will simplify
aligning the motor and the shaft, a difficult thing to
accomplish at best. The shaft need not be over 1 inch
in diameter at most, even with the 260 h.p. motor men-
tioned above installed; %-inch diameetr will be ample
for any motor developing under 50 h.p.

A boat of this kind can be built either bottom side
up or bottom side down; there are advantages both
ways. But however the thing is done, one must be care-
ful that the frames are set square with the center line;
plumb with it, and that they are exactly spaced and cen-
tered. If these matters are not taken care of the boat
will be unfair and unlike the plans; therefore unsat-
isfactory.

The chine pieecs will be made of 2 by 2%-inch yellow
pine with rabbeted corner to take the planking. These
will be let into the corners of the frames and fastened
with %-inch diameter galvanized iron bolts. The fore

ANY of their friends in the boating industry will be interested and pleased to learn that
Wilbur H. Young and Louis J. Hall are again associated.
Mr. Young has always been well known as a yachtsman and in the boating industry.
He was the first representative of the Van Bierck Motor Company and did much to build up
the reputation of Van Blerck Engines. He was President of the Gasoline Engine Equipment
Company and established an enviable reputation during the war. He was also Vice-President of
the College Point Boat Corporation and built twenty 110-foot submarine chasers for the Govern-
ment. In 1919 he became associated with Mr. Hall as Vice-President of the Columbian Bronze
Corporation and did much to build up their sales until November, 1921, when a physical break-
down made it necessary for him to give up business entirely. He has recently. been active as a
manufacturer’s agent, handling boats and engines, and has also been very active as the first
commodore of the Regatta Circuit Riders Club.

Mr. Hall first became prominent in the boating industry in 1908, as President and General
Manager of the Columbian Bronze Corporation, manufacturers of the well known Columbian
Propellers. Mr. Hall became President of that Corporation when the entire working force
consisted of one man and a boy, and in 1920 the plant covered 38,000 square feet of floor space,
and the volume of business amounted to nearly a million dollars per year. He withdrew from
that company in 1922.

The new company is known as Young and Hall, Incorporated, with offices at 522 Fifth
Avenue, New York City.

Through an arrangement with Leon L. Tripp, who has been well known for many years as
President of the Albany Boat Corporation, the new company will act as Sales Department for

Solving the Carbon Problem

Some Simple Devices Which Will Reduce Trouble from This Source and An Analysis of the
Reasons Back of Its Formation

Answers to the Following Question Published in the March Issue

“Describe and illustrate any unusual precautions or kinks you have devised to minimize the formation of carbon deposits in your
marine motor during the 1925 season.”

Minimizing Carbon Deposits

(The Prize-Winning Answer)

112 formation of carbon on the piston head and
in the combustion chamber of an internal combus-
tion engine cannot be prevented by any means yet

devised. Carbonization is the result of incomplete com-

bustion of the fuel and the residue left from the burning
of the lubricating oils. In automobile engines, dust
drawn in through the carbureter also contributes to its

formation. The rapidity of the formation depends upon
the efficiency of the piston rings in preventing oil from
working up past the piston, and the ability of the car-

bureter to supply a mixture that will burn clean at all
speeds. The carbureter must be of proper size and design
for the particular engine upon which it is used and nicely

adjusted to supply a mixture that will just prevent back-

others are introduced directly into the combustion cham-
ber while the engine is hot. Those in the former class
will generally give best results in retarding the deposits.
In using those in the latter, only such cylinders as are
on the beginning of the firing stroke, at which time the
piston is at dead top center and both valves closed,
should be treated at one time. After the specified time
the engine should be run at full speed to blow out the
loosened carbon. Pitting and improperly seating valves
due to particles of carbon becoming lodged under the
valves and the dilution of the crank case oil, are the
drawbacks to this method. If you find a good prepara-
tion to be mixed with the fuel that will reduce carbon
deposits without other effects on the engine, worse than
carbon, use it regularly.

Denatured alcohol has been found very effective in
removing carbon and its use can be recommended. After

firing at any speed.

too rich a mixture will cause rapid carbonization.

taken for granted that a good
grade of lubricating oil and a
well compounded fuel is being
used.

Idling and improper car-
bureter adjustments are re-
sponsible for half the carbon
troubles. Adjust the carbu-
reter for best results with the
engine hot. Many marine
engines are operated far too
cold for efficient results and
the richer mixture required
for the low operating tem-
perature accelerates carbon
deposits. The most efficient
temperature is about 180 de-
grees Fahrenheit, or just be-
low the boiling point of
water. Have the carbureter
properly adjusted and don’t
idle the engine more than is
necessary, as the first step
towards carbon deposit re-
duction.

three seasons’ operation with much idling, a two-cycle
engine that had been treated regularly with an ounce

of denatured alcohol every
two or three weeks was found
to contain but very little car-
bon and the top rings were
not stuck. After the alcohol,
the crank case was drained
and a little oil introduced
through the priming cups be-
fore starting. The same treat-
ment would hardly be practi-
cal for a four-cycle engine
unless the crank case was
drained each time.

The most successful meth-
od of reducing and retarding
carbon deposits is to intro-
duce water vapor with the
mixture. Water in its nat-
ural state will loosen the car-
bon, but the excess of water
will dilute the crank case oil
and do more harm otherwise
than the carbon will. By
vaporizing the water and in-
troducing it as steam, carbon
deposits will be reduced and
prevented to a noticeable ex-
tent and the operation of the
engine will be improved. You
may also expect a slight sav-
ing in fuel. On a hot, foggy
night the engine will run

There is a little oxygen which combines with the red

hot carbon particles, forming water gas with the hydro-

gen present. The water gas burns, supporting combus-
tion, and the products of the explosion, carbon monox-
ide and carbon dioxide, pass off through the exhaust.

Chemically, gasoline is several carbon and hydrogen
compounds mechanically mixed. Air is almost one-fifth
oxygen (QO) and four-fifths nitrogen (N). The nitrogen
is inert and passes off uncombined. Water (H,O) is
hydrogen (H) and oxygen (QO) in proportions of one
part hydrogen (H) to two of oxygen (O) and requires
intense heat with the presence of other elements for its
elements to combine with in order that it may be broken
up into its elements. Water gas is made by passing
steam through an incandescent mass of burning coal,
where it is broken up by the intense heat into its ele-
ments. The hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) combine
with the car-
bon (C) of
the coal form-
ing water gas
(2H + CO)
and carbon
monoxide (C
O). Any ex-
cess of hydro-
gen (H) pass-
es off uncom-
bined. This is
practically
what happens
when water
vapor is ad-
mitted to the

bon in the en-
gine.

not be necessary to

is necessary to use a coil to get the benefit of the hot
exhaust gases before they strike the cooled portion oi
the exhaust pipe, make a flat coil and set it horizontally.
A large oil cup or a tank with a needle valve to regulate
the supply answers very nicely as a water reservoir.
Arrange to feed the water at a point farthest from the
engine. The pressure of the steam and the suction of the
engine will assure the vapor being drawn into the com-
bustion chamber. Where the tubing passes through the
exhaust pipe, use tubing connections without cutting the
tubing. This device supplies practically superheated
steam.

An arrangement of annealed tubing around the hottest
part of the exhaust pipe, covered with sheet brass and
then asbestos pipe covering, will be very nearly as effec-
tive. The simple expedient of a hot air intake device,

drawing hot air from around the exhaust pipe with the
casing tapped or otherwise arranged to support a large

smoother and quieter due to the moisture in the air.
The moisture is drawn in through the carbureter, and
being finely divided is broken up into its elements by
the heat of combustion. The hydrogen and oxygen unite
with the fuel mixture, causing more perfect combustion
and preventing to a great extent the formation of carbon.

oil cup from which water is allowed to slowly drip onto
the het pipe will give pretty good results.

Still another device that will do much to keep down
carbon deposits is composed of an airtight container of
about three quarts capacity. At the center of the top
is soldered a three-eighth-inch tubing connection. At a
distance equal to about half the radius solder a Diece
of quarter-inch brass pipe each side of the center con-
nection. Drill the lower end of the pipe full of eighth.
inch holes and cap. Hook up the center connection to 4
similar fitting on the intake manifold. To put the device
in operation, pour water through the air pipe until the
tank is two-thirds full, or until, with the engine running,
bubbling grows less. Air must bubble up through the
water and the proper level is best determined by experi-
ment. A pet cock at the high and low levels will assure
their relocation and indicate when the tank is low. The
principle of the device is: as air passes through the
water in the tank it is humidified, producing practically
the conditions of foggy weather. ‘

Opinions differ as to where the water vapor is best
admitted to the intake, however, there seems to be
but little difference in the results whether the vapor
is admitted
through the
carbureter air
intake or di-
rectly into the
intake mani-
fold. With
any outfit of

An Analysis of the Carbon Problem

f is a peculiar thing, but ask various boat owners of
I operators what has been their experience with cal-

bon and how they have overcome any difficulties
arising from that source, and the conflicting replies you
will receive certainly are surprising. For instance, one
owner who has had had continuous trouble with carbon
deposits blamed it all on poor fuel, and claimed that his
motor has always been maintained in first class mechani-
cal condition, while another, whose motor is hardly tw
jumps ahead of the scrap heap, never was troubled with
carbon formation, and so on, including the man whe
installed and used every device or compound known t
aid in preventing carbon, but whose motor was the most
chronic trouble-maker of all. Upon finding conflicting
conditions like these, it is natural for one to wondet

Coanvasing and H inishing the Deck

Useful Information and Suggestions for Keeping Canvas

Deck Coverings in Good Condition and Preventing Cracks

Answers to the Following Question Published in the March Issue
“Explain your method of canvasing decks and finishing the canvas so that it will remain watertight and not crack.”

Canvas in One Piece Is Best

(The Prize-Winning Answer)

HEN a canvas deck is to be laid, get canvas of

good quality, weighing not less than eight ounces

for a piece 29 by 36 inches. Canvas is manu-
factured in various weights, and in widths from 29, 36,
40, up to 120 inches.

It is a good plan to get it all in one piece if possible.
However, it may be made up in strips sewed together
and applied in one piece. On large boats where this
method is impractical, it is laid in strips with each seam
tacked, same as on the upper decks of ferry-boats and
steamers. If the canvas is to be tacked down, be sure
the ceiling boards are thick enough to keep the tacks
from showing underneath.

It is a good plan to get a treated water-proof canvas.
Treated canvas, having less suction than the untreated
canvas, will be easy to paint, and will also require less
paint.

To apply the canvas to a new deck, first set all nail
heads, then plane the ‘surface smooth free from projec-
tions or depressions. If the deck is used for walking,
projections and de-
pressions will cause
the canvas to wear
rapidly at these

points. Then paint
the entire surface
one coat of white

lead and oil paint.
When dry, fill all nail
heads with stiff, pure
linseed oil putty.
Give the entire sur-
face a second coat of
paint, consisting of
good mixture of
white lead and lin-

seed oil. Lay the
canvas over the wet
surface, stretch it

snugly, and tack the
edges with copper
tacks 34 inch on cen-
ters. When nailing
into a narrow strip,
Stagger the tacks to

prevent splitting
the strip. Paint
the canvas _ with

thin lead and oil
paint and then apply two coats of good deck paint.

All deck fittings, such as wash-boards, companionway
slides, skylight and hatch combings, stovepipe irons,
ventilators, deck chain pipes, cleats, awning, stanchion
flanges, etc., should be set on top of the canvas in a bed
of thick white lead, and should be screwed or bolted in
place so as to permit easy removal for replacing the
canvas at some future time.

\t a stationary member, such as a samson post, trunk
cabin side, etc., the canvas should he cut and tacked to
the deck, snug against the upright surface. The joint
should be covered with a strip of wood with a tapered
seam against the upright surface. Set the strip in white
lead and secure it with screws. The seam should be
lishtly caulked with cotton, painted and filled with seam
compound.—A. G. W., College Point, N. Y.

Paint Under Canvas Is Good

OST all small boats—by this, we mean boats

under fifty feet in length—have a certain amount

of deck. Even if it be an open boat, in most
cases there is some part of it given to deck space.

A canvas-covered deck usually makes the best job for
the amateur. Not only is it simpler, but its cost is much
less, and lasts longer without giving it attention than
the polished mahogany stripped deck with white seams.

We shall begin by planing and smoothing the wood
deck, which in this case is usually made of tongue and
groove white pine. This is very necessary, as any slight
irregularity on the surface of the wood deck will appear
through the canvas covering if not smoothed down, and
will tend to wear away only on the high spots.

Assuming that this has been done, we will now apply
a coat of thick white lead paint. This will help to stop
the deck planks from warping and also help to bind the
canvas to the deck, providing the canvas is applied while
the paint is still wet.

Ten-ounce canvas should now be laid and stretched

- CAWKAS DQLCK DETALLS*

A. G. W. illustrates several useful details in fastening canvas on decks

the long way on the deck, beginning at the center line
and running parallel to it, as shown in the sketch. _

The center length of canvas must lap at least one inch
over the adjoining lengths on each side, and each adjoin-
ing piece must lap one inch over the next, and so on.
This, of course, must be done before tacking down.

Use one-half or three-quarter-inch copper tacks, de-
pending on the thickness of the wood decking, and space
them one-half inch apart. The canvas is to be pulled and
stretched over the deck while being tacked down. :

All openings in canvas, such as for hatches, skylights,
vents, etc., must be cut at least two inches shorter than
their actual measurements. One inch less all around.
This allows enough canvas to be afterwards clamped
down to the deck, coaming, and sides of hatches
by means of quarter round wood strips. Trim all

surplus amounts of canvas with a sharp knife or scissors.

After all seams and elges of canvas around openings
are tacked down, the outside edges of the deck may then
be completed. This should be done last.

To paint the canvas deck covering, apply one priming
coat, consisting of linseed oil and turpentine (half and
half) with very little white lead. Allow two weeks for
drying before applying any more paint.- All work must
be sheltered from the weather.

A very handsome job can be had by applying hard-
wood filler on the canvas after the priming coat has
dried. Wood filler may be smeared on the canvas with
a wide scraper or else thinned a trifle and applied with
a brush so as to fill in all the pores. This is to be rubbed

entirely. When covered, the surface will be quite |

is in
lengths about a foot longer than the deck widths to be
covered. Spread the canvas out in the sun and you will
find that you will be able to stretch it tighter and more
easily.

Tack one end of the canvas to a piece of 2 by 3, abou
three feet long. Begin at the after end of the deck
and lay the first strip evenly athwartships. Tack the free
end of the canvas over the side, so that the tacks will
be covered later by the half-round moulding. \Vhen

When all is down, get two old-fashioned flatirons and
have them hot. Go over the entire deck with the irons
until the marine glue has sweated through and all the
lumps under the canvas have disappeared.

The canvas is now ready for a priming coat. Make this
of white lead and boiled linseed oil, with just enough
turpentine to cut the lead. Use the priming coat pretty
thin, and work it into the canvas when brushing.

The following day the painted surface will show a
fuzzy or hairy appearance, due to the fine threads stick-
ing up all over the canvas. Rub this all smooth with
No. 0 sandpaper, dust clean, and cover with the second
coat of paint, three-fourths white lead, one-fourth zinc,
mixed in boiled linseed oil, to which add a little turpen-
tine. Allow the second coat two or three days to dry
thoroughly. Sand the surface lightly with No. 0 sand-
paper, and apply the third coat of paint, mixed like the
second; this should be as near the finished color as
possible.

Between the third and fourth or final coat, sand very
lightly with No. 00 sandpaper, and apply the finish coat
mixed in the same proportions, with the addition of a
little drier. If you give this deck a good sanding each
spring and apply a good coating of lead and zinc paint,
it will last for years—F. W. E., Oakland, California.

buts when there are virtues—the work of con-

struction must be accomplished in a proper man-

ner if the job is to retain the features outlined above.

Some Comments on the Winter’s Racing Activities and Other Pertinent
Matter - for the Improvement of the Sport of Motor Boating

By WILBUR H. YOUNG

LOT of us who are mixed up in motor boat racing
may be inclined to think that it is all there is
Racing is a splendid crucible for

the development of hulls, engines, ideas, accessories, and
inventions and its importance cannot be overestimated,

to the game.

but the real backbone of motor boating is the thousands
of family cruisers moored in units of from one to a
hundred in the various harbors, bays, lakes and rivers
throughout the United States and Canada. Racing is
fun, and is essential to the general development, but
cruising represents the real meaning of motor boating
and the real meat of the motor boat industry. Racing
alone would not support the industry, and therefore
could not be indulged in if the rest of boating were
eliminated.

by motor boat racing, it was

would convince anybody that the amateur pilot could
learn a lot from the fellows who make racing their liveli-
hood. Can you imagine a motor boat regatta without
a single protest? And yet, that is exactly what was
staged at Miami Beach. Such a revolutionary turn of
events should receive the most ardent study of motor
boating solons in other parts of the country. The pro-
test has become the bane of motor boat racing. In fact,
this has been true since the very earliest days of the
sport. All hail the entrance of automobile racing drivers
into motor boating contests. An interesting fact con-
nected with the racing of the Biscayne Babies is that the
only opportunity these drivers had to become acquainted
with their boats was the day before the races, when each
one was given five gallons of gas and told to go out and
become acquainted with his boat, and when that five

gallons were gone they had to quit.

All this, in spite of the fact that the races had been
announced in the newspapers, giving the list of entries,
drivers, ratings, etc., and programs were printed and
distributed.

It seems from the above that it is very essential that
a lot of publicity be given to the races ahead of time, so
that everybody will be informed, the same as they have
been in Detroit.

Imagine how motor boating would grow almost over
night if the people in other parts of the country realized
its value and advantages the way the commercial popu-

whole article could be written without telling the entire
tale at that.

I’ll take back all I said in a previous issue of this pub-
lication about automobile racing drivers as pilots of
racing motor boats. You don’t remember it, of course,
but I said I had vague doubts that the automobile fellows
would make good motor boat racers, basing my deduc-
tions on previous efforts of a few of the automobile
racing clan. The clever seamanship and, above all, the
splendid sportsmanship of the automobile drivers who
piloted Carl Fisher’s Biscayne Babies at Miami Beach,

boating go totally unrewarded
and unnoticed by the very people to whom it means the
most—the manufacturers of boats and engines, as a
whole, rather than those particularly interested in each
exploit. The handsome trophy donated by Commodore
William E. Scripps of Detroit and raced for each year on
the Great Lakes accomplishes a great deal in this direc-
tion, but there should be more of them held in other
localities.

This winter’s racing in Florida has shown a tremen-
dous increase in the activities on the West Coast. At
Tampa the meet was held Jate in February; early in
March the Sarasota Races were held and St. Petersburg
ran off a spirited series on March 28. In all of these
races boats from the Davis Island Yacht Club of Tampa,
the St. Petersburg Power Boat Association, Sarasota
Yacht Club and the Safety Harbor Yacht Club partici-
pated. A one-design, 26-foot runabout class, locally
built, was entered in all these races and furnished thrills
for the crowds which the events attracted. The enthusi-
asm developed amongst the yachtsmen and the general
public in those localities augurs well for a spirited season
next year. Great credit is due Commodore C. F. Irsch
of the Davis Island Yacht Club, Commodore W. G. Selby

Elgin Unit
Control

NE of the most inter-
esting fittings which
has been brought out

for motor boat control, is
the unit control board, being
made by the Elgin National
Watch Company of Chi-
cago. This instrument board
contains in one attractive
panel all of the various in-
struments necessary to give
a complete record of the en-
gine’s performance at all
times. There is an amme-
ter, reading from zero to
twenty, charge and _ dis-
charge, an oil pressure
gauge, a temperature re-
cording device, and an air-
pressure gauge. In addition
to this there is a tachometer
so graduated as to accom-
modate any desired engine
speed. The whole unit is
indirectly lighted so that all
instruments may be plainly

seen at night without any
additional lamps. Another
unique point is a_ small

opening at the back of the
board, which lights the foot-
board, so that the starting
motor button can be readily
located. Practically all of
the yacht builders specializ-
ing in high-class work are
using this unit arrangement
on their better jobs.

alias, nom-de-plune, etc., & she becomes my better three “4s
under the name of Sea going Susan, & she writes that same
on Kid Neptunes green writing paper. Relieve the suspense
on you who must be obeyed and pass on to me the score sheet,
showing how many goals I’ve gotta be knocked for before 1
can take her forth (of fifth s'no matter) & hunt a coconut &
roll among it. I’m consumed with an all enduring envy of
these lucky birds, who have 1950 thingamys & dont need to
try the dollar down & dollar when you ketch me plan. If you
have a plan whereby I can own her personally by 1925 lead
us to it, we will yet on the Sea going Susan.

Gives to her me regards, the sassy lil devil & tell her I'll
propose soonts I can.

Yours for the sport till Mr. Gabriel calls mess on his bugle.

New Starter for
the Universal
Flexifour

HE new type electric
starter adopted by the
Universal Motor Com-

pany for its Universal Flex-
ifour 15 h.p. motor is the
Bosch auto type 6-volt, 2-
unit starting and lighting
system. It consists of the
6-volt starting motor with
Bendix drive, generator, dis-

tributor and coil; starting
switch, ammeter, ignition
switch, etc. The manufac-
turer claims that the new

type of starter is a decided
improvement over the old
type single unit 12-volt sys-

tem formerly used. The
former 12-volt single unit
system could be used

only on model C-2 and C-3,
while the new 6-vo!t two-
unit system may be mount-
ed on all of the manuiac-
turer’s models. The new
starting and lighting system

can also be furnished at a
lower price than the old
system.

For all types of water-craft— Valspar

Old Town Conces axe Velsporred, of W HETHER it’s a canoe or a yacht, the appearance of a
ee Se oe boat plays an important part in your satisfaction and enjoy-
ment on the water. You naturally want your boat to look well,
and to keep looking well — which means you should use the best
varnish you can buy.

(Photo by courtesy of Old Town
Canoe Company.)

Perhaps the experience of the Old Town Canoe Company,
manufacturers of the famous Canoe that bears their name, will be
of interest in this connection. They write:

“After testing a great many varnishes we have finally decided
that we can get nothing better than Valspar.

“Varnish, to meet our requirements, must have the utmost
durability and brilliancy and must be 100% waterproof. Valspar
Varnish meets all these tests and there is furthermore the
positive assurance that it “won’t turn white.”

Valspar is the ideal varnish for every form of water-craft. From
speed boats like Miss America I, II and III to giants like the
Leviathan, from championship sailing canoes like the Maris to
every one of the International Six Meter Boats, Valspar was the
unanimous choice.

What more need be said!

New York Canals Open

It was announced by Commissioner of Canals and Waterways,
Royal K. Fuller, that unless flood conditions prevent, the
Erie, Oswego and Cayuga-Seneca canals would be opened to
navigation at twelve o’clock noon, Wednesday, April 22nd.

In this connection, shipping interests and boat operators are
reminded that the usual spring freshets affecting the canals
have not occurred this year and there is still a quantity of snow
in the Adirondacks which with continued rain may make it
impossible to open the canals as early as planned.

The Champlain Canal cannot be opened before May first on
account of two repair contracts; one at Lock 7, Fort Edward,
and the other at the Glens Falls Feeder.

Secause of the recent Government regu-
lations, an approved type of fire extin
guisher is now required in every motor
boat before a license will be granted, and
as the Pyrene hand fire extinguisher meets
to the fullest the Government regulations,
leading motor boat manufacturers are mak-
ing this extinguisher part of their stand-
ard equipment.

The Pyrene hand fire extinguisher is
made in 1 quart and 1% quart sizes.

In addition to the Pyrene hand fire ex-
tinguisher, the Pyrene Manufacturing
Company are manufacturers of Phomene,
foam type, 2%-gallon extinguisher. This
extinguisher when inverted generates ap-
proximately 20 gallons fire quenching
foam. It was developed to take care of
the larger oil fire hazards, thus affording
ample fire protection and safety to oil
burning motor boats.

Improvements in Steering
4
Gear

Kainer & Company of Chicago, who
have been manufacturing boat steering
mechanisms for many years, have made
some radical improvements in their boat
steering gear which increase its value and
efficiency greatly. The steerer is adjust-
able to different angles, which adapts it
to easy adjustment to suit the bulkhead of
the boat. It is so arranged that the angle
of the steerer may be so adjusted to the
position of the boat to suit the personal
desires of the user. The steering column
is of larger size than previously, with a
heavy tube inside the main column, to
which the drum is keyed. The steering
wheel itself is of walnut, with an inserted
metal spider, and is very finely finished.
Their special catalog describing this, and
other specialties, will be mailed to readers
otf MoToR BoatinG who write to Kainer
& Company at 761 Mather Street, Chicago,
Itlinois.

ALL-SCOTT engineering has produced notable refine

the same 5” x 7” bore and stroke, rated 200 H.P. at 1700
R.P.M., but minor changes add materially to the efficiency
and convenience of installation and operation.

A new system of carburetion has been developed by
Col. E. J. Hall in collaboration with Harry Miller of Los
Angeles, famous racing car builder. The intake manifold

is hot water jacketed in a unique way. Crankcase breathers
lead to the carburetor intake, eliminating all possibility of
oil smoke or odor in the engine room. <A heavier crank-
shaft avoids torsional vibration. The water circulating pump
has larger capacity and runs at lower speed. An improved
housing is provided for overhead camshaft and rocker arms
Spark and throttle control attaching levers are more con
veniently arranged, and the emergency hand starting lever
has been rearranged

in 4 and 6 cylinder models.

Commodore Irsch gave some of us a most delightful outing
on Tampa Bay late in March.

Ira Hand and I were stopping at the Tampa Bay Hotel, that
eight-million-dollar creation of Commodore H. B. Plant, which
is set in a grove of palm trees, and faces the Hillsboro River,
when the telephone rang and the Commodore asked if we would
like to take a run down the bay and have a fish dinner. Would
we? You said it! So in a few minutes the Commodore arrived
in one of his Bearcats and we started.

The river winds down into Hillsboro. Bay, passing Davis
Island, with its Yacht Club and Yacht Basin in the process of
construction, and then into the bay. It was a beautiful day
and we bowled along, ten or twelve miles, and then followed
the channel marks up in the Ala Fia River, the mouth of which
is filled with a large number of little islands covered with palm
trees and live oaks.

We landed at a pier and the Commodore summoned Captain
Bob Nichols, who lives in a bungalow located on the shore line.
Captain Bob managed to produce a half dozen fish of the red
snapper variety, which he proceeded to cook for us along with
other good things. We were served on a table out under the
palm trees on the edge of the river and just as we were sitting
down, who should blow in but Art Utz, who had been inquiring
for us and drove down in a motor car.

After eating our fill of the most delicious fish, we lolled
around under the palms for an hour or so and then proceeded
back to town, feeling very comfortable and very happy over a
most delightful outing.

* * *

Don’t you remember when you were a youngster, how good
those hard-shelled clams, now called little necks and cherry-
stones, tasted when you swam off after dark to the clam float
carrying a case knife in your teeth and proceeded to eat your fill?

The flavor was a vast improvement to that of the clams you
could buy at the fish-house for a cent a piece. Down at Key-
port, New Jersey, twenty years ago there was a fleet of from
fifty to sixty clam sloops which came into the harbor every
night with the day’s catch and they all unloaded into large floats,
from which on the following day they were gathered up and
shipped to market. Today, due to the fact that so many large
cities are polluting the rivers emptying into Raritan Bay, the
fleet has entirely disappeared and the clam and oyster business
in that location has been practically destroyed.

This matter of pollution of the rivers and bays with sewage
and obstructions of driftwood is becoming a most serious prob-
lem, and very vigorous and drastic action will undoubtedly have
to be taken if we still wish to have our waters in such condition
that they may be navigated by anything but ocean liners and
tugs. This was brought forcibly to our attention when it was
found necessary to take the Gold Cup Races away from the
otherwise most logical and desirable point, the Hudson River,
solely on account of the above mentioned difficulties.

An Interesting Hudson River Race

The Colonial Yacht Club is planning a cruiser race to take
place on the 2lst of June from New York to Bear Mountain
and return. This race is to be a sanctioned event, and to be
run strictly in accordance with the rules of the American Power
Boat Association of 1925. Commodore J. Heilner has presented
a very handsome trophy, which will be competed for in this
race, which is to be open to cruisers and fast cruisers as define
by the new rules. In selecting this day for the race, the commtt-
tee in charge have been guided by the fact that the tide will be
favorable in both directions of the course, and boats competing
will be sailing with this advantage practically throughout the
entire race. The Chairman of the Regatta Committee, H. C
Foster, will be glad to supply details.

Huck Says Good Bye Miami

(Continued from page 17)
a Chance Race and somebody what was not from Detroit
gets up, timid-like, and = says, “I'll bite—what is aq
Chance Race?” Schantz, Kotcher and six other fellers from

Detroit, they tells him in chorus, so that you understands noth.
ing, but at that point we gives up; you puts it to vote, and it js
unanimous. Then everybody, they is satisfied and the meeting
it breaks up with everything arranged just the way you has i

all arranged anyways, before the meeting.

The only suggestion that I has to make is, why bother
have the Midwinter Regatta at Miami anyways? Why not
have it in Detroit next March, in a bathtub, and give the prizes
to the fellers what could make the most speeches. It would save
a lot of time and money. Then we could all come down here
afterwards and get the air.

After the meeting I sees Ira Hand talking serious-like to a
feller what was a reporter and trying to find out what it was
all about. The reporter says, “Is you the Hand of V_ bottom
fame?” “No,” says Ira, “I is Hand with the round bottom
and the feller he walks away, puzzled-like, figuring that Ira js
sort of nuts, which it is a fact.

Then they all stampedes down to the Casino and _ goes
swimming and pretty soon they is all talking with some of ther
sunburned babies, what splashes around so pretty-like, and th

minds, they was no longer on the race, they wasn’t. I gets s
exhausted with all this social swirl that I goes up to Pah

Beach for the day to get a rest. Everything it was going al

right and I was sitting out on the piazza of the Poincianna
when somebody gets careless and sets the Breakers on fire, a1
of course the young woman what I was accompanying, she |
to be entertained and so we rushes over and gets there just
they is starting to throw wardrobe trunks out of the windows

I never sees such heroism. While the roof was burning, a
lot of guys was pushing the trunks out of the windows. Th
trunks they would land on the corners and bust open and all the
clothes would blow back into the flames. Otherwise than tha
they done great work, but [ did see one guy carry a case
genuine Scotch whiskey out in his arms, to safety, but befor
he could put it down on the ground, twelve fellers each grabbed
a bottle and was off like the wind. Now at that time, that
famous yachtsman, Harry Greening, he was stopping at the
Breakers. When he comes back from playing golf, he finds
that the hotel, it had went up and all his clothes they was gone
and all his money except two dollars what he had in his gol
pants. Now you well knows, Chap, that they is nothing what
you can buy in Palm Beach for two dollars, but Harry he isa
optimist and so he starts to do some window shopping and hi
comes to a store what was having a mark-down on canes. He
goes in and he buys a stick for two dollars. This, it makes
him look so respectable-like that he walks into another store
and buys eight hundred dollars worth of clothing on credit.
The moral of this, it is, that you gets away with anything 1!
you looks respectable.

\fter that. the Palm Hotel, it gets afire too, and we rushes
down there so we doesn’t miss nothing, but by that time it was
getting dark and I steps over a joint in a fire hose, which tt
leaks and a stream it shoots aways up my trouser leg, and after
that I loses interest and I says, “Let's go,” which we done, only
we loses the way back to Miami and doesn’t get home unti
about two A. M. and then we has to sit up half the rest of the
night and tell what a hero I was.

Well, the next day the races they starts. Now just what
happens, I doesn’t quite know. You appoints me a judge at t!
turn, opposite the Flamingo, and I anchors Kex out there
That puts me off by myself where they isn’t any danger of my
saying anything while you is trying to read the stop watch,
like what I done last year. I guess my watch, it musta been a
little bit slow, because just as I starts to row out from the dock
a gun goes off and a Coast Guard boat, it yells at me. I tells
them where to go because I is a judge at the turn and keeps
on rowing. I gets to the turn just as Gar Wood and Webb Jay
does. I doesn’t know whether they passes by me or over me,
because when I comes to the surface, they was half ways around
the course, and I just gets in behind the buoy by the time thev
is there again. So I doesn’t know whether they cuts the buoy
the first time or not.

After I gets aboard, I doesn’t see anything anyways, partly
lecause I has to go below and put on some dry clothes and
partly because they was so many patrol boats flying officiows
Hags in the way, that I never sees the buoys and only once ™
awhile the boats. After awhile, though, I notes that Webb Jay,
he has broke down, and so Gar Wood he has his own way, 4
usual, and it don’t matter which side they went.

I doesn’t remember anything else but the Chance Race. =
this when Schantz proposes a Chance Race, I am going to stant
up and cheer in the first place. It was the best race the

Regatta. They was everything in it from a outboard motor to
a Baby Gar. The big boats, they runs into the small boats:
the fast ones, they drowned out the small ones. Then one of
them Biscayne Babies, it started to sink, and the driver, he
climbed up on the bow, just the way I crawls up on the neck
of a horse when I tries to ride, and the crowd, it gets a swell
thrill. This, it was hardly over, before one of the speed boats,
it takes fire and they is a elegant bunch of smoke and flame
shoots up. One hero he runs his boat up alongside of her,
just as the fireboat it runs up along the other side. The water,
it was rougher’n the devil. They gets the chemical tanks going
and the first stream it hits the feller opposite square in the eye.
By this time, half the boats in the Chance Race, they has flocked
around and everybody gets a dose of yellow goozum out of the
fire extinguisher. All this time the driver of the burning boat,
he sits out on the back, over the gasoline tank, I supposes, so
he will get a free ride ashore when the tank it busts. But
they fools him. The fireboat, it gets into close quarters and
they not only puts the fire out, but the boat it runs in the race the
next day, better than ever before! Now by this, I doesn’t sug-
gest that you sets your boat afire, if you wants to tune up the
engine, as they tells me, that if you burns a hole through the
bottom, the boat it is apt to sink.

All things considered, I hands you a certificate for running a
swell lot of races. The only thing I suggests is that the next
time you arranges to have a Chance Race every day, has a lot
more boats burn up and makes it a condition that the drivers
all run into each other, at least every lap, because it is a helluva
lot more fun watching this kind of stuff. These things they
could be accomplished by having a weak link inserted in every
steering gear, that would let go on the turn, sooner or later,
and a time fuse connected with every carbureter, that would set
off a swell fire at a time unknown to the driver. Then you
and I, we could go fifty-fifty on the movie rights and make a
elegant bunch of coin.

Don’t Fly the Yacht Ensign Ashore

(Continued from page 14)

Many of our yacht clubs have adopted the practice of flying
the Yacht Ensign on their shore staffs and flagpoles. This
practice is decidedly in error and should be abandoned. The
law, as well as yacht etiquette, is perfectly clear on the point
that only the American Flag should be flown ashore.

In a recent communication sent us by the Secretary of the
Navy, he emphatically states that the Yacht Ensign is not flown
ashore, and, in fact, is so emphatic upon this point that he en-
tirely ignores any suggestions as to proper hoist on shore where
the Yacht Ensign may be flown.

On the tables shown on these pages will be found the proper
practice for flying the Club Burgee, the United States Flag,
and various other flags, as well as the Flag Officer’s Signal, the
Coast Signals, Jack, and other flags which it might be neces-
sary or desirable from time to time to display from the Yacht
Club station.

It will be seen that, generally speaking, the Club Burgee should
always be flown on the masthead and that the U. S. or National
Flag should be flown either from the gaff or yard arm. The
only instances where the U. S. flag is flown at the masthead
is where a staff or flagpole is rigged without yard or gaff. In
this case, the U. S. flag is flown from the masthead and the
Burgee just below it, but preferably on another hoist.

A study of the data on these pages, which are supplied by
the Secretary of the Navy at our request, should be examined
carefully by all yacht club officials and orders issued by them
that this practice be followed absolutely during the coming yacht-
ing season.

An Interesting Letter

An enthusiastic user of Kermath engines writes to the Ker-
math Company as follows: “A well known kodak manufacturing
company uses these words in advertising their instruments: |
it is not an Eastman it is not a Kodak. I am of the opinion
that this is equally true of the marine motor; if it is not @
Kermath, it is not a motor.

“I have used a number of different makes, but have neve
seen one that I regard as anywhere equal to the Kermath. It
is my pleasure to own a 10-14 h.p..for the past twelve months.
I have used it frequently and it has never given the slightest
trouble, always goes, very economical in the use of gas
runs like a good clock.”

Scripps F-6—the Engine in
All the Biscayne Babies

WHEN Carl G. Fisher conceived the idea of a real one-design-class motor boat
race with professional automobile racing drivers at the wheels he in-
augurated a new era in motor boat racing. It was radical, new, untried—an ex-
pensive experiment perhaps. But Mr. Fisher carried out his idea and ordered
eleven boats identically alike, powered with Scripps F-6 engines, the engine
sensation of the day.

High Speed
$ 1 250 100 H.P.
with Low Speed
Electric Starter 50 H.P.

In the race the combined distance covered by the Biscayne Babies was over 750
miles, and the average speed was above 40 miles per hour. No engine trouble was
experienced by any of the drivers, in spite of the fact that the boats were not
turned over to them until one hour before the race. In other words, in an hour’s
time the drivers, none of whom had ever driven a high powered boat before,
became fully acquainted with the F-6 and the fine points of boat racing.

The 100% perfect score made by all the Scripps engines in this race proves
beyond the slightest doubt that the Scripps F-6 is the most reliable Six today in
the 100 H.P. class. As a consequence the Purdy Boat Works is now building
twenty more Biscayne Babies to be raced at New York this summer, all powered
with this same wonderful engine.

We don’t want you to get the impression that the F-6 is a racing engine, for it is
not. It is a sturdily built power plant designed to give service indefinitely in
cruisers and runabouts, as well as speed boats.

have been foremost in finding the solution with improved intake and exhaust
manifolds having gas passages of special contour. These are embodied in one

Average speed of boats in

The Gear—

The “Cross” Reverse Gear guarantees longer life, more power to
the propeller in both go-ahead and reverse positions, and an
absolute neutral such as you find in a high quality automobile.
The propeller positively cannot drag, and this combined with
precision craftmanship throughout the entire gear is responsible
for the increased R.P.M. over other gears—often ranging as high
as 10%. The shaft and gears are of high carbon chrome nickel
steel, brake band is manganese bronze, while the ball-bearings are
the finest in the world—large enough and strong enough to carry
the prescribed load with a 4 to 1 safety margin. The case in
enclosed models is of crank case aluminum, so designed and con-
structed that it is positively leak-proof and thereby forms an oil-
bath in which the gear runs with almost frictionless ease.

ACH boat entered in the Bis-
cayne Baby race had an
Elgin Unit Control on its dash
board. Cemered in one panel
under glass the following instru-
ments: Elgin Chronometric
Tachometer, Amme‘er, Oil Press-
ure Gauge, Motor Temperature
Gauge, Air Gauge, for gasoline
line, gave the drivers, at a glance,
the actual condition of the power-
plant.

The advantage of having all the
instruments in one unit, instead
of being scattered over the dash
board is readily apparent—instal-
lation is easier, quicker and natur-
ally costs less. Added to this is
the precision and accuracy of the
instruments and the elegance
that only Elgin can give to
appearance.

_The clamps will be made of % by 2 inch spruce or yellow
pine let into the edge of the frames and fastened with two
1% inch number 10 screws. There will also be a shelf or riser
inside under the ends of the deck beams made of 1% by 1% inch

spruce or yellow pine is not available one might use Douglass
fir, red wood, or Philippine mahogany. These are excellent
woods for boat building.

The motor stringers will be made of 1% by about 8 inch
spruce and will, of course, be spaced so as to permit the flywheel
of which every motor is installed to swing between. The
stringers extend over frames 1 to 11 and should be fastened
with one % inch diameter bolt to each frame. The bolts must
extend through the floor timbers. Notice that at station 6 the
floor timbers are doubled up, this being on account of the cut
out under the reverse gear.

There will be bed logs bolted to the motor stringers for the
length of the motor base and made to accommodate the dimen-
sions of the base. These will be made of white oak about 2 by
2% inches square. To keep the motor stringers in line there
will be several pieces of % by 6 inch spruce set between with a
long 5/16 inch bolt or rod each side to hold them in place.

inner being 3/16 inch cedar in 4 to 6 inch widths and laid
diagonally to the keel, with the outer layer % inch thick; but
laid fore and aft. Before the bottom is applied a bilge stringer
made of % by 2% inch oak will be run through the middle of
each bilge. The inner layer of planking will be fastened with
galvanized brads or small screws, just enough to hold the planks
in place until the outer skin is laid. The ends at the keel and
in the rabbet of the chine should be laid in marine glue or white
lead paint. Where the planking lands on the frames it will be
fastened with brass screws set at about 2 inch centers, and be-
tween the frames with copper tacks arranged to pierce the inner
planking near its edges. As each of the fore and after planks
are laid the surface between it and the diagonal planking should
be well painted with liquid glue; muslin or canvas between will
not be needed.

The planking on the sides will be laid in the same manner as
the bottom with the exception of the stringer. Here the
stringer will be fitted on the outside of the planking, having a
long rivet through each frame and screws let into the stringer
from the inside out. This outside stringer will be made of %
by 1% inch yellow pine and should be in a single length.

The deck beams will be made of % by 2 inch spruce and set
on the same centers as the frames. There will be a doubling
piece each end made of % by 6 inch spruce as shown. The
deck is to be laid with %4 inch plywood if it is easily obtained
and if not with % inch cedar or mahogany. In the latter case
the seams must be backed with battens made of % by 2 inch
spruce. The deck planks should not be over 7 inches in width.
I should not cover the deck with canvas; just paint it several
coats of some suitable color as a finish.

The coamings will be made of % by 6 inch white cedar
fastened to a 9% by 2 inch spruce carlin as shown. The coam-
ings should not project above the deck more than 2 inches. This
is ample for attaching a spray cloth if one becomes necessary.
There is a bulkhead between the motor compartment and the
cockpit which should be made after the manner of the planking;
two layers of % inch cedar laid diagonally. Across the top of
this there will be a finishing cap made of % by 1% inch oak.
The motor controls are to be set up on the bulkhead.

Flooring should be laid each side of the motor and abreast
it, using % by 4 inch spruce for the purpose. Similar flooring
will also be laid in the cockpit. Always leave one piece of
flooring so that it can be removed, using some suitable kind of
catches to hold the loose piece down. ;

There will be one seat across the cockpit made of a % inch
spruce board. This is to rest on a light rising each side as
shown. There will be a fore and after piece extending from the
seat through which to run the steering post, the lower end of
the latter being screwed into a floor flange in the flooring. Fit
a 6 inch locust drum on the post and connect up to the yoke on
the rudder post as shown. The cockpit is roomy and the seat
plenty wide enough to seat three in comfort.

The size of the fuel tanks will depend upon the amount of
power installed, for the smaller motors mentioned I believe that
two cylindrical gasoline tanks will answer very well. These
should be located where shown and if tanks of greater capacity
are fitted they should rest in about the same place.

») The strut must be of the single leg type and not heavier or
thicker than indicated. The base should be 134 inches wide, 12

Bosch Dependability
Clearly Shown in::-
Biscayne Baby Races

The eleven boats of the Biscayne
Baby class which made such a
wonderful showing in the Miami
Beach Regatta held recently were
all equipped with Bosch Starting
Motors, Generators and Battery
Ignition Systems.

These units operated under a
tremendous handicap, for every
boat in the fleet at one time or an-
other was partially filled with
water, due to leaks caused by hit-
ting submerged drift wood. The
Bosch Electrical Units were fre-
quently splashed with water
thrown by spinning fly wheels,
and were constantly swept by fly-

ing spray. In spite of these handi-
caps, the Bosch Units operated
perfectly. P

Whether you are buying—or sell-
ing—motor boats and engines,
specify “Bosch Electrical Units”
and be absolutely sure of long and
dependable service.

The Bosch trademark is a guar-
antee of high quality and depend-
ability.

Valve Tappets

Standard Equipment
on SCRIPPS Engines

Heads Guaranteed to Outlast
Any Motor

ALVE tappets, push rods or cam followers

(mushroom head type) are of the most
vital importance in marine engines. Their im-
portance is such that in the past replacement
tappets have been unprocurable except through
the engine manufacturer. In many cases on
ordinary tappet replacement it is necessary to
have a valve tappet especially made, or replace
the entire block of the motor, and sometimes
the guides.

Intra Valve Tappets eliminate these most
troublesome replacements because they never
wear out. They answer the long felt want of a
tappet that will withstand severe service, func-
tion reliably and continuously and with dur-
ability equal to the ever-wearing parts of the
better types of gasoline engines.

Intra Valve Tappets are now offered to the
marine engine industry, after a long and
thorough period of development has proven
their very superior merits over all other types.
A hardened and polished bevel plate of special
alloy casting is securely inserted in the recessed
head of the mushroom tappet. The tremendous
hammering action of the cam cannot wear or
loosen it.

Intra Valve Tappets are fully approved by
automotive engineers and adopted as standard
equipment by seven of America’s leading auto-
mobile manufacturers. Furnished in oversize
and standard sizes.

How I Would Design a Gold Cup Racer

(Continued from page 35)

as the rudder is submerged, thereby making it more effective as
it lowers into deeper water. On straightaways the rudders can
be lifted entirely out of water, thereby greatly reducing the very
considerable drag usually found here. Note in Figs. 4 and 5 what
takes place as the water flows by the hydro-foil sectioned rudder
blade and the straight sectioned blade. The former is many
times more efficient than the latter, and therefore can be of much
less area and weight.

Fig. 6 is an eye opener. Since it is a well established fact
that any propeller, either aeronautical or marine, will be most
efficient if it pulls rather than pushes I should turn the motor,
the struts and the propeller quite about and hitching, so to speak,
the horse’s head where his tail should be. This would locate
the propeller under the middle of the hull. It would permit
using a shaft of much less diameter because of the absence of
thrust, and the presence of tension. It would be possible to use
a cable laid wire rope for the shaft if desired which would be
an automatic universal joint for its entire length. It would re-
duce the likelihood of flattening out the blades of the propeller,
a condition caused by unequal pressures on the several blades
made by the two streams of water flowing into the pusher pro-
peller and set about by the propeller shaft as it slices through
the water in advance of the propeller. It would reduce the
torque. It would reduce the difference between the pitch of
the down going and the pitch of the up coming propeller blade;
in fact it would reverse this action, thus reducing the effort of
the boat to turn away from the direction of rotation of the pro-
peller. A boat with a tractor propeller will run a straight course
of its own accord. The tractor propeller will jump out of the
water—so will one under the stern, and so the score is even
here. Another thing, as the bottom raises to its planing angle
the motor takes a more nearly level position, and consequently
its functioning will approach more nearly the ideal conditions
found on the testing stand, something also worth having.

In a further effort to reduce windage to a minimum I should
arrange the cockpit to seat two in tandem, after the ways of air
craft. Then the other cockpit to furnish accommodation for
four all told, as required by the rules governing the racing of
boats of this character, would be forward and covered with a
flush hinged hatch. Cleats would be below decks with lead-in
holes for lines wherever needed.

The construction would be after the usual practice with double
planking with muslin between on the bottom, topsides and deck:
there would not be a projecting moulding on the boat and not a
thing in the air but the heads of the helmsman and mechanician.

they will always be ready to furnish boats of all descriptions,

The company is also acting as sole distributor of the well
known W-S-M Engines, as well as the Lycoming Engines,—
eight, six and four cylinder models.

These engines are sturdy and powerful, and built in the fol-
lowing sizes. The eight cylinder has a bore and stroke of 3%
by 4% inches, develops 56 h.p. at 1750 revolutions, and weighs
790 pounds. The six is 3% by 4% inches, develops 45 h.p. at
the same speed, and weighs 690 pounds. The four cylinder is a
little bit larger, being 4 by 5 inches, developing 38 h.p. at 1500
revolutions. Its weight is 570 pounds.

inches long and not over % inch in thickness; the leg must not
be over % inches thick at the hub and % inches near the base.
If it is 3 inches wide at top and 2% inches at the bottom it
will carry any propeller one is likely to use. The strut hub
should be 6 inches from the fore side of the propeller hub, thus
bringing the center of the blades 12 incheas abaft station S.

If the drawings are followed carefully and the weights are
kept as shown I feel that Cannonball will prove to be a very
fast and able kind of hydroplane. :

As a service to readers who might want larger copies of the
drawings for Cannonball to a scale of 1 inch to the foot, arrange-
ments have been made to supply blue prints at moderate cost.

Biscayne Babies are —
HYDE Equipped

Something different in boat racing, the Biscayne Baby Race at Miami Beach, Florida. All
the boats are one design, 18 feet in length and of equal weight. All of the boats were built
by the Purdy Boat Company. Each has a Hyde Wheel.

HE Biscayne Baby race might be really called the first motor boat

race where superior seamanship was the winning factor. Each boat
entered was identical in design, equipment and weight. The drivers,
famous automobile racers, weighed in before the start, sand ballast was
used to make the weight carried in each craft uniform.

Every part of the construction and equipment of the Biscayne Babies was
carefully selected by the builder and represents the best in their respective
classes. In nearly every important power boat race of the past the
winning craft was Hyde equipped; so it was only natural then that Hyde
Propellers were selected as standard equipment for the Biscayne Babies.
Hyde wheels have always proved winners where speed, efficiency and
reliability are desirable.

The combination of Hyde design, materials, balance and finish means
higher propeller efficiency and maximum miles per hour whether your
boat is designed for fast or slow work.

The AUTOPULSE is a magnetic
fuel unit which draws the gasoline
from the supply line and delivers
it to the carburetor by the pump-
ing action of a brass bellows, which
ts expanded by electro magnet,
energized from the battery. Out-

the carburetor float valve. The
rated capacity of the unit is eight
gallons per hour, but has a mazxi-

is a more desirable, more reliable, more
positive and safer system of supplying
fuel to the carburetor. It keeps the fuel
in carburetor at uniform level while
motor is running, regardless of speed.
Autopulse is the outstanding achieve-
ment of the age for promoting marine
engine efficiency.

When you use the Autopulse you can in-
stall the fuel tanks anywhere you wish
in the boat, either above or below the
carburetor level and any distance away.
Autopulse performs the same service as
a vacuum tank or pressure feed fuel
system, but the difference is that it
always works perfectly and without
attention.

Autopulse is used and recommended by
such prominent marine engine manufac-

position, which he held for the entire distance. Ray Harroun
in Fulford was seventh at the end of the first lap and s tayed
in seventh position to the finish. Closely astern of Harroun,
followed Louis Chevrolet in his Hialeah, and astern of him was
Phil Shafer, both of which were accorded points for finishing,

Eight boats started the fifth heat, led again by Tommy Milton,
In this heat Milton was careful to pass all turning buoys on
their proper side and led from start to finish, gaining all the

Biscayne

time over the second boat and finishing 25 seconds ahead of
Peter DePalo, who was in second position. Ira Vail finished
third, Ray Harroun fourth, Louis Chevrolet fifth, L. L. Corum
sixth.

The winner of the six heats was determined by the American
Power Boat Association racing rules for scoring in each heat

race. When the various points won by the boats in each of the
heats were added up, it was found that Louis Chevrolet was the
winner, having gained 1,654 points, Tommy Milton was second

with 1,472, Wade Morton third with 1,441, Peter DePalo was
fourth, Jerry Wonderlich fifth, Ira Vail sixth, L. L. Corum
seventh, Harry Hartz eighth, Phil Shafer ninth, Wm. Knipper

tenth and Ray Harroun eleventh.

The prize money was awarded in order of the points won,
together with an additional $250 to the winner of each heat
and $150 to the boat which came in second in each heat. Wade
Morton was the winner of two of the heats, Jerry Wonderlich
took one, as did Louis Chevrolet, Tommy Milton and Peter
DePalo. Wm. Knipper took one second, as did Tommy Milton,
Phil Shafer, Ira Vail, Peter DePalo and Harry Hartz.

From the above it will be seen that no boat had an advantage
at any time. The race was a test of seamanship from the start
to the finish. At all times, the drivers of the boats handled
their craft perfectly and at no time was there any unsportsman-
like driving apparent. The drivers accepted the rulings of the
judges and committee without protest and all appeared well
satisfied with their place in the race.

In the Fisher-Allison race, three boats participated. Baby
Gar IV entered and was driven by Commodore Gar Wood;
3aby Gar V, entered by Gar Wood, Jr., was driven by Phil.
Wood, and Adieu IV entered and was driven by Webb Jay.
Baby Gar IV took the race, which consisted of three fifty-mile
heats, winning all three heats without difficulty. Adieu IV took
the lead in the first heat and held it for seventeen laps of
2% miles each, when a clogged fuel line forced her out of the
running. In the second heat, Adieu IV also had mechanical
trouble and withdrew from the race again in the seventeenth
lap. Adieu IV failed to start in the third heat, the whole fifty
miles being covered by Baby Gar IV and Baby Gar V running
side by side.

The winner of the Fisher-Allison
second leg on this valuable trophy. Webb Jay also has two
winnings to his credit. It will only be necessary for one of
these owners to win one more race to make the cup become
his permanent property.

The race for the Dodge Memorial Trophy brought out four
starters as follows:

Miss Syndicate, a new boat, designed by Crouch and built
by the Horace E Dodge Boat Works, of Detroit, and entered
by the Dodge Bros.’ Dealers’ Association.

Baby Gar IV, which also competed in the Fisher-Allison race,
but for the Dodge Race was powered with a 1,350-cubic-inch
Liberty Motor instead of the 1,060-cubic-inch motor with which
she was powered for the Fisher-Allison contest.

Entered also in the Dodge Race was Baby Gar V, which also
raced in the Fisher-Allison Class, and Curtiss Wilgold II, a
new boat, entered and driven by R. V. Williams of Buffalo.

The competition in the Dodge race was the keenest of any.
Reg Williams, driving his first motorboat race, forced Gar
Wood in his Baby Gar V over every inch of the way. No bet-
ter driving or example of sportsmanship has ever been seen in
any race meet than that displayed by Mr. Williams in all of
the five heats for the Dodge Trophy. Curtiss Wilgold II is
only a 25-footer, powered with a 625-cubic-inch Gold Cup Cur-
tiss engine, and only being about one-half the size and power
of the other boats, yet the outcome was in doubt every moment
forced to

race gives Gar Wood a

from start to finish. At times, Mr. Williams was
stay between the two Wood boats and take their wash and
spray for miles at a time. However, being so small in size,

the Curtiss Wilgold lacked the necessary punch to get through

the wake and waves of the two Wood boats, and was, therefore,

forced to take second place. However, in the second heat, by

skillful driving, Wilgold II passed the boats at a turn and took

the lead and could not be overtaken by the Baby Gar V and

(Continued from page 98)

Baby Gar IV until the finish line had been reached. In the
other four heats, Baby Gar V finished a second or two ahead
of Curtiss Wilgold. Miss Syndicate, the Crouch boat, of which
so much was expected, was not able to show what she has in
her. Immediately after the start of the first heat, mechanical
trouble developed in the power plant, and she was obliged to
drop out of the race entirely. However, inthe trials before the
race, Miss Syndicate showed that she had a great amount of
speed, could turn well, and was manageable at all speeds.

On the Race Committee, serving with Carl G. Fisher, was
W. D. Edenburn, Detroit; Ned Purdy, of Trenton, and the
Editor of MoToR BoatinG.

Much of the success of the whole race can be credited to
Commodore C. W. Kotcher, of Detroit. Commodore Kotcher,
besides being Chairman of the Prize and Chance Race Commit-
tees, worked incessantly to complete all the Regatta details and
was largely responsible for the large entry list in the Chance
Race. Commodore Kotcher was responsible for the large num-
ber of prizes, which were given by the Miami and Miami Beach
merchants and enthusiasts for the Regatta. Commodore Kotcher
has been on the Miami Race Committee for the last ten years,

Biscayne Baby Class Still Attracts

(Continued from page 98)

Baby Gar IV until the finish line had been reached. In the
other four heats, Baby Gar V finished a second or two ahead
of Curtiss Wilgold. Miss Syndicate, the Crouch boat, of which
so much was expected, was not able to show what she has in
her. Immediately after the start of the first heat, mechanical
trouble developed in the power plant, and she was obliged to
drop out of the race entirely. However, in the trials before the
race, Miss Syndicate showed that she had a great amount of
speed, could turn well, and was manageable at all speeds.

On the Race Committee, serving with Carl G. Fisher, was
W. D. Edenburn, Detroit; Ned Purdy, of Trenton, and the
Editor of MoToR BoatinG.

Much of the success of the whole race can be credited to
Commodore C. W. Kotcher, of Detroit. Commodore Kotcher,
besides being Chairman of the Prize and Chance Race Commit-

HERE is nothing unusual, admirable or

remarkable about the brute strength of a
big heavy marine motor. It should give power
at the price—if the owner is willing to stand
the clumsiness, complexity of parts and run-
ning expense.

This thing boatmen call performance, power
and dependability doesn’t come in packages of
pounds, inches, parts and price. Given the
accumulated experience of yesterday and the
modern manufacturing methods of today,
some one maker is bound to rise above the
crowd with a product stripped of non-essen-
tials—unencumbered with the mistakes of
other engines of the past—free from bulky
size.

This Gray Model “Z” was built with no
other engine in mind—it followed no prec-
edent. This company walked off the beaten
path of “other days and ways” and built an
engine that gives results without depending on
size, weight and price.

Every essential detail; every tough, power-
ful unit is concentrated to make a compact
engine—that’s the reason for its smaller size.

Nothing is there that shouldn’t be, and
everything is there that should—that’s the
reason for its lighter weight.

The huge demand has increased production
to the point where these engines are built on a
“manufacturing line’—that’s the reason for
the lower price.

Consequently, the Gray Model “Z” has be-
come famous with boatbuilders and boat-
owners as the

SHORTEST

high grade marine motor in its power class
equipped with electric starter and generator.

The result is a motor that is completely
equipped ready to run without the necessity
of essential extras—a motor whose great fea-
ture lies in its extreme simplicity and a motor
that is economical to buy and economical to
keep going. All with the speed, power and de-
pendability of performance that has been
characteristic of all models and motors built by
the Gray Marine Motor Company.

Cruising on a Dredge
(Continued from page 15)

“My first boat was Mabel, back about 1895, a sixty-footer
with a pair of extremely heavy duty motors in her, that would
run once in awhile.” I tried to learn more about that first
boat, but I judge he had no affectionate memory of her, and
beyond engine trouble he did not seem able to recall anything
else, which checks up perfectly with all other motor boating,
thirty years ago. So I dropped that line of cross-questi ning
and he went on.

“My second yacht was the sailboat Norvis, of Rockport,
Texas. I had taken to tarpon fishing and racing. We beat
everything along the coast, and I became so absorbed in the
sport that mother (the late Hetty Green) called me down and
told me I had better go to work again. I followed her advice
for a few years and then got interested in automobile racing,
became an A, A. A. officer and ran the Vanderbilt Cup races.

“Mother got after me again about this time, so I went back
and built a couple more railroads in Texas.”

After that he owned a steam yacht called Texas, but by this
time his ingenuity in the matter of boats began to work, so he
purchased a lake steamer from the Crosby Steamship Company,
pulled her out on the railway and lengthened her to 300 feet.
She was known as the United States. Then he began to acquire
speed boats, fitted up the United States with a heavy equipment
of davits and adorned her with fast runabouts from stem to
stern, naming them after the country’s possessions. Before he
got through, he had decorated her with the following tenders:
Philippines, Hawaii, Porto Rico, Antilles and Alaska. The next
move was to acquire the sixty-foot houseboat Day Dream to
act as a comfortable means of reaching shore from the deeper
draft monster.

Either this fleet of tenders was too much for her, or they
offended her dignity, for eventually the United States ran on
a rock in Buzzards Bay, sank, and Colonel Green forthwith lost
interest in her. She was, however, subsequently raised, and is
now back on the Great Lakes running as a passenger vessel.

I then turned to the beautiful yacht on which we were sitting,
the Colonel. She is 135 feet long, 33 feet breadth, draws three
and a half feet, is fitted with every conceivable comfort and
immaculately kept up. Two 75 h.p. Dodge Diesels drive her at
fair speed. “Where did you have her built?” I asked her owner.

“In several places,” replied the Colonel, smiling broadly at
me, now that he had thawed out a bit.

“Such as what?” I urged him.

“Well, some of her was built in one place in Jacksonville and
some in another yard, and then I brought her down here and
had her finished at a third place.”

“How did you bring her down here—outside?”

“No, down the inside route.”

“You don’t mean to tell me you brought that leviathan down
the canals?”

“Sure,” said the Colonel. “I will try anything once.”

As a result of a series of questions, I found that he had
cruised the length of Florida on a dredge. He had left off both
upper decks, when she was first built, forward of the cabins.
Aft of this point she was a regular houseboat—I might say a
bear of a houseboat. Forward of that point, they built her
into a dredge with a big donkey engine, a great mast and derrick,
a three-quarter cubic yard dipper dredge, and a six-inch sand-
sucker. Thus armed, they started down the inside route. The
Colonel admitted she filled the canal all right. The suction was
so great astern that every time they would pass a smaller boat,
the latter would cease going ahead and come right along back-
wards after them. When they came to a bunch of trees that
had grown out over the banks, they put the derrick to work
and pulled them up by the roots. When they ran aground, they
either dug up, or sucked up the obstruction, or if it were not
too shoal, they would run a wire cable ahead a mile or s0,
hitch it onto a forest tree, start up the donkey engine, and skid
themselves over.

If anyone but a sober and responsible citizen had told me this
story, I would write it up in the form of fiction, not fact, but
it is a fact that Colonel Green made the trip in twenty-four days,
left a greatly improved waterway behind him, and then calmly
tore off the dredging equipment, had his yacht completed, and
now sits out forward and chuckles in a dignified way at his
adventures. He is my idea of a real yachtsman.

(Continued from page 20)

bordering long narrow reaches of water that were as flat and
blue in real life as upon the maps.” And as a sibyl of old saw
visions form in the fumes of her witch-fire, I gazed through the
thin blue smoke above a motor purposely over-oiled while it ran
off its factory stiffness and dreamed of a dream come true. Qr
rather, I had just got well started dreaming when Tellander
spoiled it all by beginning a recital of how, four days previously,
his yawl had been hove-to all night in a sixty-mile gale just a
few miles to the north.

“You probably won’t see another day like this to the end of
your voyage,” he added in conclusion. That from the man ]
had taken along for comfort and reassurance. And yet he
was quite right, as the sequel proved. Never again were the
conditions altogether right to conjure up once more the typical
Great Lakes picture which had persisted through the years
finally to lure me to plan the quiet water voyage upon which
I was now embarked. But it was something to have the start
melt into the ideal composition of the old picture anyhow.

A couple of miles of Milwaukee suburban homes, moulded
persuasively to the contours of the hills back of the bluffs,
was followed by a zone of ampler country estates, and these
by great, rich, rolling farms, with endless lines of cattle winding
down sylvan lanes to the big red barns and the milking sheds,
The white beach and the green-streaked brown bluffs still ran
on, but with few signs of life. Boat-houses were conspicuously
absent. The lake-front was evidently the back-door of the
countryside, and a very slightly used one at that. Along the
open west shore of Lake Michigan the use of small boats is
almost entirely confined to the insignificant stretches protected
by break-waters.

The little motor was hitting smoothly and steadily, driving
the heavily loaded boat at a speed which a check over a known
distance between two points proved to be better than eight
miles an hour. While this was much better than I had hoped
for, especially until the motor had been thoroughly run in, |
knew that the real test of power would not come until it had
worked out in the broken water that was to be expected far more
frequently than smooth. I was still somewhat dubious of the
ability of an outboard motor to drive a heavily laden boat against

hard seas, and I was distinctly apprenhensive of what would bk §

the effect of following seas slopping over it. Those were points
upon which there would be ample opportunity for enhanced
knowledge without long delay. For the present it was highly
encouraging to find that I was getting so satisfactory a speed
from a motor which could be tilted up at a moment’s notice and
leave me free to maneuver for a landing with the oars when-
ever the lake showed signs of developing a punitive mood. The
feeling that I had an outfit that could be beached in an emer-
gency, rather than to have to attemp to ride out a storm as
an alternative to making a perhaps distant harbor, was an un-
failing reassurance from first to last.

Passing Fox Point, fifteen miles north of Milwaukee, the
dark sage-green depths of the waters under the bow paled
through olive to glittering jade before a flutter of golden-brown
light motes revealed that the sun was striking through to the
sand and rocks ‘of a rapidly shoaling bottom. Sheering sharply
off until the liquid color symphony began to run the reverse of
the scale toward the deeper green of ample depth, I headed
back on the Port Washington course again. This maneuver
was repeated twice or thrice in the next ten miles, where slender
knife-like shoals stabbed lakeward for a mile or more from
the shore. The shallowest of these had water enough and to
spare for a craft of my draught, but there had not yet been
a chance to study the chart and be sure. I had also been
warned that the lowering of the lake level by the Chicago
Drainage Canal made it necessary to deduct from two to three
feet from the last charted soundings, so was not bent on taking
chances in any event.

As a matter of fact, there are few if any shoals between
Chicago and Green Bay dangerous to a craft of less than three
feet draught at over half a mile from the shore. Beyond the
mouth of Green Bay it is quite another story. For unexpected
shoaling many miles from shore even the coral claws of th
Great Barrier Reef northeast of Australia is not more treacher-
ous than the north coasts of Lake Michigan and Lake Huror,
including Georgian Bay. There is nothing more beautiful thas
the shifting colors thrown back through clear water from 4
shoaling bottom, but the ideal vantage from which to view *
is an airplane or balloon rather than a scudding craft that
in danger of knocking off a propeller every time the color scale
is keyed a note above dun-green. That took the poetry out 0!

Nothing Takes the Place
of Power~,.

—Whether you want to be first to get to the fishing grounds,

—Whether you want to cross the finish line first,

—Whether you are hungry and want to get back to camp in
a hurry,

—Whether you want to give your friends a tow, or

—Whether you want to skip in ahead of a threatening storm,
nothing takes the place of Power.

And That’s Why—

no other Motor quite takes the place of Elto. With Full 3 H.P.
coming from its smooth-running Twin Cylinders in an endless flow, with its
clean stream lines cutting the water like a knife, with its Atwater-Kent Uni-
Sparker Ignition shooting long flashes of electric fire into the cylinders, with
the Propello Pump pulling a constant stream of fresh, cooling water through the
roomy water passages, no wonder Elto leaps across the waters with a speed
none cares to challenge. You buy an Outboard Motor first of all for Power.
You want a Motor that will drive your boat, with any load in any sea.
You want speed,—you want action. You want safe rudder steering— é

the thing even before I had bumped; after I had replaced
sheared propeller-pins all around the north end of Lake Huron
I was in a condition that set me pulling imaginary tiller ropes
every time a yellow patch of paper caught the tail of my eye
on the pavement of a city street. ,

A church-spire pricked in dark silhouette against the sunset
flush of the northwest was the first sign of Port Washington;
then the loom of factories, with the dark blur of jetties run-
ning out from the shore-line. A fixed red light flashing out
through the wine-dark shadows of the bluffs gave a bearing
for the end of the north pier and guided us into the entrance
of the channel of the artificial Y-shaped harbor just as the
purple of twilight was deepening to the velvet of night. The
last pop of the second filling of gasoline gave just way enough
to slide the boat along to a mooring against the rotten log
wall of the north basin. We had made the thirty-mile run in
a little under four hours, and on exactly two gallons of gasoline.

What we had taken to be a welcoming delegation of natives
waiting on the jetty to receive us turned out to be a party of
friends from Milwaukee, who had motored over in the Evinrude
car to bring some belated mail and, incidentally, a wonderfully
appetizing supper basket. Leaving the boat in the care of a
bunch of gamins, who swore to defend it to their last breaths
from a rival gang of pirates who rendezvoused in an old coal
hulk on the other side of the harbor, we kicked the cinders
of the jetty from our feet and made al fresco banquet on the
grassy banks of a cold spring above the beach.

Our gang was still on guard when Tellander and I returned
to the boat a couple of hours later. There is nothing like
giving street gamins a job and putting them on their honor.
I daresay this same little band of swashbucklers would have
looted our argosy from stem to stern had we tried to intimidate
them with threats. As it was they hung on till midnight
swapping yarns with us, and at dawn the next morning two of
them came back dragging an anchor and a roller which they
claimed had been the spoils of a recent raid on the craft of
their rivals. I declined the sprawling mud-hook but accepted
the roller with gratitude. It stood me in good stead on several
occasions of real need.

Sleeping on the bank beside our boat, we rolled out at day-
break and went over to the little town for breakfast. A distinct
overnight change in weather conditions was apparent as soon
as we came out on the lake-front. The sky overhead was still
clear, but a brisk, steadily purring, purposeful little breeze from
the southeast gave an unmistakable impression that it was going
somewhere to equalize the pressure in a sizable hole in the
atmosphere. With no place at which a weather forecast could
be obtained at that hour, we consulted the barometer in front
of a local drugstore, to find that the optimistic 29.55 of the
previous evening was down twenty points and still dropping.
Checking this with the notes under Wind-Barometer Indications
in the compact little handbook of the Lake Michigan Yachting
Association, we found a warning which seemed to fit the case
in the following:

“When the wind sets in from points between south and south-
east and the barometer falls steadily, a storm is approaching
from the west or northwest, and its center will pass near or
north of the observer within twelve to twenty-four hours, with
wind shifting to the northwest by way of southwest and west.”

While the threat was far from tangible enough to seem to
warrant remaining in port, there was plainly a day ahead on
which it was going to be in order to keep a weather-eye lifting,
especially along toward evening when whatever it was that was
brewing up to the northwest began to boil over. Accordingly,
we cast off at seven, determined to keep within easy reach of
the beach all day.

A half-hour’s spell at the oars by way of warming up proved
the boat’s pulling qualities all that her fine lines promised.
few miles north of Port Washington we came to the first pound
net, forming what appeared to be an impassable barrier reach-
ing from near the beach for a mile or two into the lake.
These nets are supported by lines run between piles and reach
from the surface of the water to the bottom. This completely
blocks the path of all fish entering the zone of a net, with the
consequence that they finally work along into one of the series
of traps or pounds, from which they are lifted by the fishing
boats. On account of the great cost of building and maintaining
the nets, this is perhaps the most expensive form of fishing
and is only warranted where sufficiently large catches are
calculated to pay adequate returns on the investment.

Exploring the first net barrier under oars, we found, just

VER since we manufactured
Paragon Reverse Gears, hun-

special work of lubricating re-

hard for ordinary grease. It didn’t
penetrate to every bit of meshing

—it ran out in reverse and was
thrown out on the forward drive.
It lubricated one part but left an-

GREZAGERE is a special grease for the one

It gets in between meshing gears and grinding

tough enough to hold its body and separate

ED BANK standardized cruisers are boats of quality, sea-
worthiness and comfort embodying standards which after
careful survey have proven the most preferred. In size, class and
speed there are no boats more completely equipped nor as strongly
constructed. Red Bank cruisers will ride the pounding seas with
the same ease and give the same feeling of security as though on
a calm lake or river.

Each type of cruiser is available in many speeds for instance; our 30 foot
cruiser is powered with engines giving 12, 17 or 28 miles per hour guaranteed
speed. Then there is the latest Red Bank cruiser, a 35 footer with a speed of
36 m.p.h. The construction of the 35 footer represents a distinct radical
change in boating. It has a double planked conventional V-Bottom but the
planking from the chine upwards is lapstrake. This boat has unusual carrying
capacity and with its extreme speed is a very desirable boat for many purposes.
We have excellent facilities for the handling of custom work in record time.

outside of one of the pounds, a place where the supporting rope
was lowered sufficiently to allow the passage of the boat. We
subsequently discovered that this opening was a regular feature,
provided to faciliate the movements of the small craft of the
fishermen in lifting a catch. By keeping careful watch, we soon
learned how to shoot the boat through by shutting off the
motor and tilting the propeller without recourse to the oars,

Slowed down materially by our zigzag course through the
almost interminable series of nets, it was eleven o’clock before
we headed into Sheboygan Harbor, twenty-five north of Port
Washington. We could have saved time by lunching in the
boat and pushing on ahead, but, with the wind freshening and
the clouds piling ominously in the northwest, it seemed wisest
to run in for a word of advice from the Coast Guard station.

Sheboygan Harbor is typical of practically every port along
the open west coast of Lake Michigan. The muddy estuary of
a little river breaking through the bluffs determined the location,
and the harbor—the earliest work upon which dates back over
fifty years—was made by dredging a channel through the bar
to the slough and protecting it with jetties. As the convenient
logs from the then near-by forests were used for piers and
jetties in the first instance, with repairs and replacements con-
tinuing to be made in the same perishable material, the works
of all, except the large terminal ports of Lake Michigan, are
far from modern.

The Coast Guard station, spotlessly white buildings in the
midst of green lawns, is located near the inner end of the old
north pier stub. The captain, who had already been advised
from Milwaukee to be on the watch for our boat in one form
or another, received us most kindly and appeared highly in-
terested in the voyage. He had received a warning of violent
thunder squalls accompanied by high winds, but from his own
observations was inclined to the opinion that the weight of the
onslaught would be felt farther south. As we would be run-
ning away from the center of the disturbance, he thought we
would be safe enough in pushing ahead, especially if we kept
in close and made a point of landing in event the west began
to look too black.

Knowing this was the advice of an old lake sailor, thoroughly
familiar with the coast and the limitations of our craft, we
had no hesitation in following it. The fact that he already
knew something of Tellander’s reputation as a small boat sailor
doubtless had a good deal to do with the fact that the captain
was ready to let us take the chance. Your average landsman,
under similar circumstances, would have greatly exaggerated
dangers of which he had no real comprehension and tried to
frighten us into keeping port for a week.

After having lunch in Sheboygan—a prosperous lumbering
and manufacturing town, backed by rich agricultural country
—we got under way again at two, hoping to make a direct
run to Two Rivers, where the next Coast Guard station was
located. The most direct course took us from two to three
miles off shore, and along this we bowled at a fine rate before
the small but lively seas kicked up by the freshening southeast
wind. An occasional lop flipped over the starboard quarter,
but considering her slight freeboard the boat made excellent
weather of it.

Toward four o’clock, with the thunderheads starting to boil
up purple-black from some devil’s cauldron over beyond the
western hills, I began to edge shoreward. Although the squalls
were plainly working southeasterly in a way that promised to
bring them to the lake some miles astern, I was too familiar
with the trick of their South Pacific brethren to work back and
spring an unexpected ambush to take too many chances. In
spite of an apparent tendency to maneuver for a little surprise
of this kind, the general direction of the storm continued just
southerly enough to give us a comfortable berth. But where
they were breaking upon the coast, but a few miles south of
Sheboygan, the effect was positively cyclonic. Shot through
and through with forked shafts of lightning, sinister cylinders
of cloud rose above the amorphous mass of the driving storm
like the turrets of a firing battleship. Mingled sunlight and
lightning filtered through the churning clouds to cast lurid
patches of glow, like the fumes from sulphur and molten copper,
on wind-flattened forests that were only less black than the
ebony waters of lake.

But all that turmoil was miles astern of us. The only time
we appeared to be actively threatened was when a wildly spin-
ning whirl of murky nimbus—a sort of looting camp-follower
of the main army—flew off on a tangent from the parent mass
and came charging down on us like a bull at a gate. That was

just the sort of an attack we had been expecting, and, already in
slickers and sou’-westers, we were making quick work of the
scant three hundred yards to a clear loop of soft beach when
the roaring amok succumbed to the southerly drive of the higher
air currents and was hustled back into line. It missed us by
a good quarter of a mile, with nothing but scurrying gusts
of icy air and a spiteful spatter of hail to show what had been
in pickle for us.

Inky clouds continued to boil up from behind the western
hills all afternoon, but without driving close enough to our
course to be more than potentially threatening. Not many miles
to the south, however, it was plain that a storm of near-
cyclonic intensity was raging. It was with no surprise, there-
fore, that we read in papers picked up the following day of very
conside ‘rable destruction by hail and violent winds in Milwaukee,
Racine and the farming region to the west.

On the whole, in demonstrating how comparatively easy it was
to get into a position to land before a storm became dangerous,
the experience was as reassuring as exhilarating. As a matter
of fact, it was just a bit too reassuring. A black, blustering
storm that one can see coming ten miles away is only one of
the fifty- -seven varieties of meteorological disturbances tucked
away in the capacious weather-bag of the Great Lakes to be
loosed with careless impartiality upon the wary and unwary
alike.

Our dodge shoreward had carried us well inside a shallow
bay that must have once been the harbor of the little picture-
book village discovered as soon as the passing of the squall
menace let us take our eyes off the heavens and bring them
back to land and lake. Doubtless a live lumber port many
years previously, the railroad and the steamers had passed it
by, leaving it in a back-water behind the rotting piling of its
once busy docks, just a straggle of apple- and lilac-bloom
smothered houses bordering a grassy road running down to the
beach. Alluring as a drop-curtain scene, as we saw it in the
transforming light of a calcium-like glow where the sun
strained through the silver lining of a storm-cloud, we were
saved the disillusionment which must inevitably have followed
a landing by the necessity of pushing on while the going was
good.

Two little sirens in gingham, perched Lorelei-like with idle
fish-poles on the end of the battered pier, volunteered that the
name of the dream-village was Centerville. When we begged
to know what it was the center of, they looked at us quite
blankly, entirely at a loss for an answer. I have met the same
surprised stare from the almond eyes of a Hangchow mandarin
when I asked why they called China The Middle Kingdom.
The pinnacle of unsophistication lies in fancying oneself in the
heart of the great central Whorl of Things; also of hyper-
sophistication. New Yorkers and Londoners are just a bit like
the founders of Centerville and China in that respect.

But this particular brace of rail-birds was emancipated, broad-
ened by travel and contact with the world. They had been to
Manitowoc, all the way round the next point. Now that was
a town for you; not like Centerville, which wasn’t no kind of
a place -nohow, with no movies or nothin’. Now Manitowoc
—we weren’t bound for Manitowoc, by any chance, were we?
And would we mind

Sensing the imminent descent of upwards of two hundred
pounds more of ill-stowable ballast into my overloaded boat, |
spun the fly-wheel with hard-flipped wrist and put a broaden
ing wake of bubbles between our stern and danger. It has
never been recorded what was said by the sirens of old when
the triple-banked oars of a galley backed water and slid away
out of danger. All this pair said was, “’Fraid cat! ’Fraid cat!”
many times repeated. They were quite right, too. I doubt if
the night-yodelling ladies of Scylla and Charybdis ever taunted
in better point.

The thunder squalls were still going over the top in their
charges from the western hills as we ran on north before the
freshening southeasterly wind. As the deep bay leading in to
Manitowoc opened up we had to decide between following the
coast-line or standing straight on across to Two Rivers, as
originally planned. With the west still full of dynamite, the
former would have been.the safer and more sensible course
It was the chance of spending the night at a Coast Guard
station and being five miles farther along in the morning that
decided in favor of the direct run to Two Rivers. It was just
the sort of thing that Captain Kincaide had warned against
doing in unsettled weather, and it was largely fool’s luck that
there was no penalty to pay.

(Continued from page 120)

The breeze augmented considerably in force as we stood out
across the bay, and in an astonishingly short space of time had
rolled up seas of real weight and bulk. The boat rose buoyant ly
to the lift of them, but from the troughs their sizzling white
crests loomed several feet above our heads. None of them was
quite able to put green water over the stern, though time an‘
again they burned their noses on the hot cylinders of the
motor in their eager attempts. The boat yawed wildly before
the quartering seas so that holding to anything like a straight
course became a difficult task. I was unfeignedly glad when
we drove in past the breakwater light and ran on in quiet water
to the Coast Guard station at the inner end of the north pier

The captain of the station, saying that the forecast was for
a heavy storm during the night, had our boat lifted out on the
slip and a place cleared for us to sleep in the boat-house. After
dinner and a walk about the low-lying but picturesque little
town, we returned to the station, where we sat up to a late hour
while the man on watch told yarns of his years of service on
the stormy north coast. There was less comfort in these re-
citals than I would have liked. According to the weatherbeaten
old veteran, the whole north coast was a wilderness, with the
shore rocky and shoal-beset, and with no inhabitants but a
few fishermen. I was a bit cheered when it finally transpired
that he had never really been there. I was soon to learn, how-
ever, that the altogether forbidding picture was by no means an
exaggerated one.

(To be continued)

In the next chapter the voyage of the 18-foot boat, driven
only by a little outboard engine, is continued. A_ picturesque
run along the lake to the canal at Sturgeon Bay and the en-
trance to Green Bay is followed by an interesting run through
this bay. A delightful camp site turns out to be full of mos-
quitoes and camp was hurriedly broken in the morning to escape
the pests. His passenger who had accompanied him thus far
leaves, and the journey is continued alone. A real test of the
seaworthiness of both boat and engine prove to be satisfactory,
and a stormy passage to St. Martin’s light is made without
mishap. The gathering storm comes in during the night in full
force, and the journey is temporarily delayed until it calms
down again.

Then slam bridge shut and train move over. Police boat nearly
broke his nose when bridge swing. He dam, dam loud but
bridge tender say ‘Who you are? What about these noise?

‘New York City Police Beat! You let us trough.’ Bridge
tender say—‘O! are you? You go to hell—in Jersey now.’

“’Nother time we unload on dock and two motor cycle cops
ride right on dock. We hear engines come and hide, then hold
’em up with gun 'till truck gets cases loaded. Then we take
spark plugs out motor cycles and trow overboard. Take guns
away from cops too. But they good fellows so we give each
hundred dollar and mail guns back next day.”

3ut were you never caught?”

“Well one time we got load and law got big boat faster and
can’t get away. They tie us up and tow in; put me and another
wop in hatch.

“Pret’ tight place. Snap lock on hatch outside. So no one
watch. Tell office got two bootlegger. Some fellows on dock
look in port hole and we say ‘You let us out this one time. We
no ask you again—sometime. Please mister, just this one time.
Nobody look, all busy wit talk—got two bootlegger, so fella open
lock and we out and go up hill. We look back after get breath
and they put five, six cases under dock and holler ‘Prisoners es-
cape! Prisoners escape!’ Run around, mix up everybody.
Some one start knock holes in hill with 45, but we on other side.
What they could do wit those fellas for let us out? Not’in ’s
right! How the law know who? Can’t prove notin’.”

When conditions were favorable Banty says he made $1,500.00
a night. He ran cargoes on the Jersey Coast and clear up to
Philadelphia. Some runs totalled 300 miles a round trip, taking
the whole night. These trips were usually forced by close watch
of inlets by prohibition men. He has been on the rocks, sal-
vaged his boat, had it dragged in on ocean bottom for three
miles, rebuilt what was left of the hull and started in again
He has made money and he won’t quit until the game gets him
He likes it.

Among the Glaciers of Alaska

(Continued from page 23)

preparatory to shoving off on a fifteen-day reservist cruise to
Alaska. Wiedey and I went aboard, and were assigned to
officers’ quarters—not as reservists, or members of navy per-
sonnel; but as guests of the Secretary of the Navy.

‘lhere were several reasons why we had decided to undertake
this cruise from Alaska to the United States rather than from
the United States to Alaska. The primary consideration was
the fact that by going over the route with a larger vessel than
our own, we would gain much information regarding salt water
river navigation—information of the kind that is not to be ob-
tained otherwise. We were getting away to a rather late start
for the brief summer of those northern latitudes. Thus, by
making the trip from the north, we were literally migrating
southward ahead of the encroachment of winter, instead of going
north to run into it. Consideration was also given to the fact
that the prevailing wind direction of this region at this season
of the year is south to southeast. So, by routing our trip
southward we were taking what advantage we could of the
prevailing winds rather than having them to contend with. We
later discovered that in making the trip with so small a boat,
these carefully thought-out advance arrangements were material
aids to the success of the venture—a venture that became AD-
venture many times before we saw Seattle again.

Eight days after the Eagle Boat left Seattle, we were landed
bag and -baggage at Juneau, the territorial capital of Alaska,
There we soon began to discover many things. Today, there are
two outstanding characteristics of Alaska among my memories
of Alaska and Alaskans. The first is the wonderful hospitality
of the people toward strangers in their land, and the second
is the long summer days—days of 18 to 22 hours of daylight,
with scarcely any night at all. The development of Alaska
seems to be largely in the hands of people of, Scandinavian and
Scotch origin. In this vast country—the last real frontier of
our country, these people seem to have found an environment
approximating that of their native lands, but with the opportu-
nities of the new and out of the way places. Family names
such as Olsen, Larson, Jensen, Bomark, Anderson, Otterson;
McKinnon, McDougal, Booth, McLachen, Dundas and Burns,
predominate and indicate the origins of nationality.

We spent a week in and around Juneau, and during that time
got acquainted with a major portion of the population of this
thriving Alaskan metropolis of 3,000 inhabitants—everybody from
Hon. Scott C. Bone, Governor of the territory, down to humble
old wharf-rats who had lost miscellaneous fingers, toes, and
ears, in the frigid winter climate of the back country. To the
last man, they seemed to be genuinely interested in us and our
affairs, and all ready to lend a hand to help us at anything
from a heave on a line, to volunteering useful information, or
inviting us in to have dinner. The writer has traveled on
five of the continents of this earth, but nowhere else have I
found such genuine whole-hearted hospitality as one finds in
Alaska. It is undoubtedly the rigors of the country and its
sparse population that creates this condition. People are simply
compelled to be friendly with each other in a country where
there are only about twenty-five thousand of them scattered
over an area equivalent to one-third of the continental United
States, and in some parts of which winter temperatures go to
60 and 70 degrees below zero with almost perpetual darkness.

A discovery about southeastern Alaska that the visiting yachts-
man is sure to make very quickly is that the region has some
enormous tides. Juneau is situated at the foot of precipitous
and perpetually snow-clad mountains and upon a great inlet
of the so-called Inland Passages known as Gastineau Channel.
In front of Juneau the channel is about a mile and a half wide.
Opposite is a little island—Douglas Island—about as big as the
states of Delaware and Rhode Island. Any ship ever built, or
ever likely to be built can dock at Juneau, but a few miles
up the channel toward Skaguay, the waterway ceases to be
navigable except for very small boats at high tide. The tides
raise and lower the water levels about forty feet, so, at high
tide, small craft may go on up the channel, and through the
shallows known as Canoe Passage into The Lynn Canal. Large
boats must go around Douglas Island, for Canoe Passage is high
and dry at low tide. Once into Lynn Canal, there’s about 300
fathoms of water up this ten mile wide canal for a hundred
miles to Skaguay. Just why this waterway—ten miles wide, a
hundred miles long, 300 fathoms deep, and bounded by mountain
walls towering to snow-clad elevations of 14,000 and 15,000
feet, should be called a CANAL, is a mystery. But, Alaska
is a land of enormities. Mountains up to 12,000 feet elevation
are only foothills. streams the size of the Mississippi at Minne-
apolis. are CREEKS; and the great fjord in front of Skaguay
is a CANAL. The only thing I found in Alaska that is really

Among the Ghasiens of Alaska
(Continued from page 126)

cred.ted with having size is the Alaskan mosquito. Even

Alaskans admit they've got ‘em, and that they’re the next thing
to twist-arill humming birds with saxophone songs. Morcover,
tue Milky Way is only a bit of space compared with their
numbers—these winger musicians that bite through your boot
soles, and carry one away in fragments!

We got acquainted with the tides of Gastineau Channel when
we attempted to launch our boat at Juneau. The little craft
had been brought up from Seattle on the deck of the navy
Eagle Boat. ‘the Eagle Boat docked at ten o'clock at night,
but it was still broad daylight, the sun being scarcely out of
sight behind the lofty elevations of Douglas Island. Our diminu-
tive craft was hoisted over the side, and set on the dock,
Wiedey and I went to the Juneau Hotel, engaged a suite of
rooms, and went to bed. Both of us were soon asleep. It
seemed that I had been asleep for several hours, when | be-
came awakened for some unknown reason. I opened my eyes
and looked around. It was daylight—about as light as it is
in New York City at seven o’clock on a mid-summer evening,
I reached for my watch. It was 11:30. I rolled over, and went
to sleep again. It seemed as if I had been asleep for hours
and hours, when I woke up for the second time. Daylight with
a harsh Arctic sun was pouring in the open windows. It must
be nearly noon, I thought. Yet, there was not a sound from the
streets below. Alaskans must be in the habit of sleeping very
late. I looked at my watch again. It was 4 A. M. Trying
to sleep through one of Alaska’s daylight nights reminded me
of the slumbers I used to try to get when my nights were
turned into days as a police reporter on the Los Angeles
Express. Alaskans live according to the clock, not by the hours
of daylight and darkness. At seven o'clock in the morning, but
with the sun almost where we'd expect to see it at noon, we
breakfasted, and went to the dock with the. idea of launching
our boat at high tide. The tide was up within six or eight feet
of the dock floor. There was a big hand derrick on the dock,
which the wharfinger had given us permission to use—so, launch-
ing the boat would be an easy task—we thought. But, such jobs
never seem to go off according to schedule. We fiddled around
for some time rigging a rope sling on the boat, hooked the
derrick block onto the sling, and hoisted the craft clear of the
wharf deck. We swung the derrick boom around, and got the
poat out over where we thought Gastineau Channel was going
to be. But, the water wasn’t exactly where we expected to find
it. The receding tide had lowered the surface just about 38
feet. We began lowering the boat, contemplating that we'd be
able to slide down the rope and go aboard. Once more we
learned something about Alaskan tides. Our tackle lacked just
about four feet of being long enough to set the boat down upon
the surface level of the low tide. We didn’t feel equal to the
task of trying to hoist the boat back onto the dock again with
the hand windless, so we left it hanging there in mid-air until
the tide came back to catch up with the craft from below

Once we got our boat in the water, we possessed ourselves
of the conventional mode of individual transportation which is
to the southeastern Alaskan about what the flivver is to the
Kansas farmer. With a boat in Alaska one is privileged to go
just about anywhere that human beings have any occasion or
desire to go. Without a boat, one has about the same degree
of locomotion as a Chesapeake Bay oyster before it reaches
the half-shell stage. Where should we cruise? That was the
next question to be decided.

We wanted to see Skaguay—100 miles away, that historical
old seaport that was the outfitting point for innumerable joys
and heartaches in the days of Soapy Smith, and the Klondike
gold stampede. So, we bought a few groceries, and shoved
off up Gastineau Channel on the high tide the day after we
got our boat in the water. Of course, we had to have a name
for our craft. We christened her Ikigihk, Atlin Indian for
Good Fishing, and cleared from Juneau with the Alaskan Capital
as her port of registry. We put-put-put-ted up Gastineau Chan-
nel, slipped through Canoe Passage on the hump of high water
slack, and coasted down the hill into Lynn Canal when the
tide began 4 fall. Lynn Canal resembles nothing quite so much
as it does Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. I’ve boated on Lake
Lucerne, and the Lynn Canal is just a second Lake Lucerne
done on a little bigger scale, and with salt water substituted
for the melted snows that flow down the River Rhine. But,
Lynn Canal is moody. It may be like a mirror of late glass
in the morning, and a seething, hissing, teakettle of commotion
in the afternoon. It can kick up a sea in which no small boat
can live when it is swept by a Taku, or Woolly Wind—those
peculiar windstorms that occasionally lash down between its
three mile high canyon walls from the tops of the Chilcoots.

New Jersey Motors, Inc.

Keyport, N. J. ,

Your letter handed to me in regards as to what I think of
your NJM Motors, as I am the party who handled the boat
and engines in which Zane Grey caught the largest fish ever
caught on rod and reel.

It sure gives me great pleasure to state that they are the
finest motors I ever used in my years as boatman for Zane
Grey. They worked great, and I want to state right here that,
if they refused to start the first turn or stopped during the battle
with these great fish, it would have been impossible for us to
have caught them, and I recommend them to anybody wanting
a reliable motor.

We are leaving here in a few days for the Islands in the
Pacific to look for some large fish, We have a 32-foot and a
28-foot launch loaded on board the Fisherman; both have twin-
screw NJM Motors. We are due in Los Angeles June Ist,

Among the Glaciers of Alaska
(Continued from page 128)

We were fortunate, however, in catching favorable weather
for our jaunt up Lynn Canal. Its surface was like a mill pond,
and we covered the hundred miles in two days. The trip could
have been made in less time, but we had no desire to hasten
through such magnificent scenery, and through boating conditions
so lovely as to fall a man’s lot only about once in a lifetime.

Years ago, Skaguay was a city. It was the largest, fastest
growing, and most thriving community in Alaska. It boasted
a population of 10,000, but like many a good town, whose com-
mercial life is founded upon a single industry, it began growing
in reverse gear when the Yukon gold bug turned all six of its
legs skyward and gasped for breath. Today, Skaguay has a
population of about 300 souls—a few commercial fishermen, a
few summer tourists, and a few thirsty sourdoughs heading over
the Chilcoot Pass to White Horse to buy a bottle of bonded
hooch at the Canadian Government liquor store. There’s no
housing problem there. Hundreds of houses are boarded up,
others are sagging, or falling down. Shingles that have known
neither paint nor nails for years are blown off in the Woolly
Winds, and they stay off. Windows have been the targets
for the small boy’s stones. The yachtsman who desires to spend
his summers in Skaguay may rent a furnished castle for $10
a month, or a dollar a month, if that’s all he desires to pay.
The glory that was once Skaguay’s is now only a memory—
but a memory that will live for ages in the fiction tales of
Rex Beach and Garrett P. Serviss.

Returning from Skaguay to Juneau, we didn’t have such good
luck with the weather. We had one day of good weather, and
then a day of rain, which we spent in camp on a tiny island
near Vanderbilt Reef, where a mast sticking up out of the
water is all that’s left of the S. S. Princess Sophia, which went
down in 1921 with a loss of 198 lives. The third day we got fair
weather, but along with it—a Taku, a wind that took Ikigihk
southward under reefed sail, so fast that we steered with the
rudder. No motor could have kept up with the sail. Although
we were running before the wind, with the waves of Lynn
Canal leaping at our stern like a pack of hungry jackals, there
were times when Wiedey decided he could heave water over-
board faster with a bucket than he could with a bilge pump.
Somehow or other we managed to keep our little cockleshell
afloat. We arrived off the entrance of Canoe Passage on the
right tide, but missed the hole before we could drop the sail.
There was no turning back. It would have been suicide to
have attempted it, so we hauled up the sail again, and ran be-
fore the wind completely around Douglas Island. We passed
up passenger steamers going in our direction, and seldom touched
the water except to bounce from the top of one wave to the
peak of the wave ahead. There really wasn’t much danger of
swamping because the waves simply couldn’t catch up with
us. Late in the afternoon we had ridden the Taku into Stevens
Passage, where the storm seemed to have blown itself out.
The sail became a useless rag. We installed the motor and
put-put-ed around the lower end of Douglas Island into Gastineau
Channel, and met the tide coming out. It took us from six
o'clock until eleven to push up the ten miles of Gastineau
Channel from Stevens Passage to Juneau. Nevertheless, it was
still daylight when we got there, cold, wet, and hungry.

Seattle was still a thousand miles away, and the long Alaskan
days were beginning to grow shorter—betokening the encroach-
ments of winter. There was no time to be lost, so we sailed
southward the following morning, with Twin Glacier Camp on
the Taku River, 35 miles south of Juneau as the destination
to be reached at the end of our first day’s southward cruising.
Twin Glacier Camp is the hunting lodge of Dr. H. C. DeVighne,
a Juneau physician and sportsman with whom we had become
acquainted during our sojourn in the Alaskan Capital. He gave
us a letter to Mrs. Felix Gray, caretaker of the camp; and
bade us go there, and make ourselves at home.

All morning we cruised down Stevens Passage, and toward
noon turned into the entrance of Taku Inlet. About this time
a monstrous mountain of emerald green and chalky white
loomed up ahead of us. It was the first iceberg encountered
on the southward cruise. This particular berg appeared to be
about five acres in area, and stuck up out of the water some
60 or 75 feet. We headed toward it to get a closer view, but
when we got within about three hundred yards of it, the berg
suddenly decided to turn turtle. It rolled over like a sick cow,
sank down almost out of sight, and then began bobbing slowly
up and down. By this time we had changed our course. We
were going straight away from the iceberg—boosted along on the
crest of monstrous swells that seemed to be higher than the
berg itself when we were alongside it. But, we’d learned some-

thing. We were assured that icebergs are dangerous playmates
for small boats.

Although we sought to give all icebergs as wide a berth as
possibile thereafter, a certain amount ot uncomfortably close
association with them was unavoidable in navigating Taku Inlet,
ine whole inlet was so full of floating ice that they could have
been avoided only by turning tail, and hauling out of the inlet.
ihese bergs are merely fragments of glacial ice that topple
otf the ends of Taku Glacier, Norris Glacier, Twin Glaciers,
and a miscellaneous assortment of glaciers that discharge into
taku River and Taku Inlet. The bergs ranged in size from
pieces of ice no bigger than a man’s head to great chunks of
iridescent emerald green and white as big as the biggest office
building in America. The big bergs, of course, were easily
avoided. It was the little ones that really endangered us. Any-
one who has ever observed a piece of ice in a drinking glass
knows that ice floats with only about one-eighth of its bulk out
of the water. So, a berg that appeared to be no bigger than
a man’s head on the surface, would in reality be a chunk weigh-
ing perhaps 100 or 150 pounds—all that would be necessary to
have torn the entire bottom out of Ikigihk’s spruce planking had
we run afoul of one full speed ahead. Before we had gone
very far up Taku Inlet, we found it necessary to adjust the
water pump on the motor to reduce the quantity of water
flowing through the cylinder jacket. The water was at such a
low temperature that the motor could not attain proper thermal
efficiency until this change in the water pump adjustment was
made. In adjusting the pump it was necessary for me to get
my hands in the water. Almost instantly every joint, and my
fingers, ached as if they’d been pounded with a mallet. In about
half a minute those members became totally paralyzed. Getting
overboard in such water is not a pleasant thought to contemplate.
No matter what kind of a swimmer one might be, he’d have about
the chance of a blind mouse at a cat convention. I had previously
learned that among native Alaskans only about one out of a
hundred can swim a single stroke. They virtually live on the
water, and do most of their travelling in boats, but it’s the
hundredth man who is a swimmer. If one is found among them
who can swim, he has learned to swim elsewhere.

We entered Taku Inlet on the inflowing tide. This helped our
speed, but added nothing to our safety from the menace of
icebergs. All the bergs that had gone visiting down in Stevens
Passage during the day, were migrating back up Taku Inlet
in the inflowing tide. Many times we found it necessary to
go dangerously near gigantic cornices of ice in order to pass
between two mountains of refrigeration material. In some places
the inlet was almost choked with ice, and as we wiggled along
through the floes, no peace of mind was added by the fact that
the shores were sometimes two and three miles away—and those
shores’ perpendicular walls of ice-scoured rock where a landing
would have been impossible. Moreover, when this mass was
hurtling along up the inlet on an eight knot current, the prospect
of getting caught between two bergs was anything but a nerve
tonic. Every now and then we'd see two bergs try to elbow
each other out of the channel. They'd strike with a roar that
set the surrounding landscape echoing for miles around. Down
into the water would go tons and tons of ice from the points
of contact on the two bergs, and then all the surrounding icebergs
would hurl back the accumulated echoes. The trip up Taku inlet
was a real adventure—a scene, and an experience to be re-
membered forever. But, while it lasted, I'll admit there was
some satisfaction in the thought that my life insurance policies
are of the incontestable variety—the kind that pays, even f
suicide !

We got alongside Taku Glacier just as the sun began getting
down to the point to produce sunset colors. Trying to descri
a live glacier is an almost impossible task. It is too much like
trying to describe the Grand Canyon of Arizona—a thing utterly
indescribable. Then put the sunset colors onto Taku, and the
finishing touch of indescribability is added. Imagine, yourself
if you can, sitting at the helm of a sixteen-foot motor boat,
cruising along the face of a perpendicular ice wall 350 feet
high, and ten miles long. You're pretty busy dodging floating
icebergs. Every few seconds a few million tons of ice topples
off the summit of the glacier and goes crashing down into the
water with a roar like a 16-inch naval gun. When these ice
masses come down, there’s something else going to happen soon

you're going to get a sample of what the north Atlantic
like in a sixteen foot boat in a storm. Tremendous waves go
hurtling out across the inlet from the face of the glacier. A
mountain of water.comes rolling toward you, and you swing tl
bow around to take it nose on. For a few breathless seconds
you’re out to break all altitude records—going up almost p¢
pendicularly. But the summit of the wave slides under the keel,
and your little cockleshell goes careening wildly down the bac!

Boats Instead of Autos?

Why not substitute speed boats for automobiles in cities where
it is possible to utilize waterways instead of congested boule-
vards?

“And why not?” asks William E. Scripps, head of the Scripps
Motor Company, Detroit, Mich., who is in Miami, Fla., spend-
ing the winter months and supervising the installation of motors
in speed boats which take part in a big regatta.

“In Miami especially,” says Mr. Scripps, “it would be per-
fectly plausible and sensible for the commuter to use a speed
boat in place of an automobile. I am thinking particularly of the
Coral Gables Waterway, which traverses a big residential sec-
tion and leads to Biscayne Bay. People living along the stream
— own a speed boat, operate it cheaply and save a great deal
of time.”

The Coral Gables waterway, of which Mr. Scripps speaks,
traverses Coral Gables, Miami Riviera, the largest suburb de-
velopment in the country. It comprises 10,000 acres.

Mr. Scripps is head of the company which designed and man-
ufactured the motors for the races. The motors are six-cylinder,
four-cycle, developing about 100 h.p. The boats are 18 feet
long and will carry two passengers.

Such boats as these were suggested by Mr. Scripps in speaking
of the commuting-by-water plan.

Longer Life for Reverse Gears

The first known friction started a fire. The savage made
good use of this fact and rubbed wood against wood to produce
a flame. Here can be seen the problem of lubrication that became
apparent when a cart wheel evolved from the cross section of a
rolling log. So the wheel was the first piece of moving machin-
ery that required a study of lubrication.

First came fats, then whale oil, then crude oil. Machinery
progressed with a sudden jump. Crude oil with the methods
of refining made possible fast moving machinery of various kinds
—and various kinds of machines required different refining of
crude oil to suit specific problems of lubrication.

What kept a set of ball bearings separated from their race-
ways would not do for a differential. What efficiently took the
rub out of a piece of shafting would not properly lubricate an
engine. Even different refining was needed for engines—one
kind of oil for warm weather and another for cold—heavy
duty and light duty, and so on. The refining of crude oils came
under the microscope of the chemist. Greases and oils were
built up to suit different speeds, pressures, conditions, weathers
and types of machinery. Each piece of mechanism now has its
own specially refined grease or oil, so that it can give the utmost
in power and speed with the least amount of effort and wear.

When a piece of machinery was forced to turn on a lubricant
that was adapted for some other purpose—parts wore out.
Either the body was too thick or too thin for the pressure and
the duty to perform. While this difference would not show
itself over a short period—the product designed by the manu
facturer to last many years went out of service long before
its time.

Selection of the right kind of lubricant for the right purpose
has been in practice among boatmen with their engine oils,
engine greases, shaft greases and other boat parts—with one
exception. The boatmen who took care that the right lubricant
went between the right moving part, used any kind of grease
or oil in his reverse gear. That this practice caused the wearing
of parts and shortened the life of the gear became evident when
letters were written to the Paragon Gear Works asking if there
was a special reverse gear grease made.

Five years ago this company combined its reverse gear skill
with the lubricating knowledge of the U. S. Oil Company and
made a complete investigation of the conditions a lubricant faces
when operating on reverse gears. The very nature of the duties
reverse gears perform, the many moving, interlocking, sliding
and meshing parts were found to require a special type of
lubrication.

When a lubricant is examined under a microscope, it is seen
to be made up of millions of molecules. It is these molecules
that form a cushion between parts and keep them from touching.
The worth of an oil or grease as a lubricant depends on the
toughness and ability of these molecules to act as a separator.
If they break down, the lubricant gets thin and parts touch. It
was, therefore, the problem of the Paragon Gear Works and
the U. S. Oil Company to build up a lubricant whose molecules
stood the conditions peculiar to reverse gear operation.

After five years of experimenting, testing and refining, a spe-
cial grease and oil has been perfected for the one specific duty
of properly lubricating ati makes of reverse gears. Consistency

was Worked out to suit gear conditions—thin enough to crawl
to every moving part and work between discs without gumming,
and thick enough to hold its body against the lashing of many
gears. This last point has been so successfully accomplished
that the grease does not run out of the gear joints. Formerly
this running grease was regarded by the boatmen only as an
annoyance that dirtied his boat. It can now be seen that this
was a sign that the gear parts were breaking down the mole-
cules which meant parts were wearing.

This special lubricant has been named Grezagere in both
grease and oil form.

For consumer purposes Grezagere Grease is packed in one
pound metal cans, in five-pound cans, and ten-pound cans. Grez-
agere Oil for enclosed type reverse gears is put up in one-gallon
and five-gallon cans. Both forms of Grezagere may be bought
from dealers or from the Paragon Gear Works directly at
Taunton, Mass.

For dealers, Grezagere Grease is packed in the following un-
broken cases of 48 one-pound cans each—24 five-pound cans
each—and 4 ten-pound cans, each Grezagere Oil—12 one-gallon
cans each.

World's Oldest Outboard Still in Use

The world’s oldest outboard motor has been unearthed—but
unearthed is hardly the right word to use, for this 15-year-old
horse-and-a-half Evinrude was still humming along, day in and
day out, when located. Its owner, Geo. H. Craig of Altoona,
Pa., was loath to part with it.

All this is the result of a contest held recently by the Evin-
rude Motor Co. of Milwaukee to discover how old the oldest
Evinrude was. Hundreds of motors were entered in the contest,
all from five to fifteen years old. Mr. Craig’s Evinrude was
the twelfth outboard to be manufactured. It was pieced to-
gether by the few members of the then newly organized Evinrude
Motor Co. in a little out-of-the-way blacksmith shop in Mil-
waukee, back in 1910.

In entering the contest, Mr. Craig wrote: “I do not care to
ship this motor unless I have a chance to win the prize (a new
1925 Champion Sport Twin), as there is nothing the matter
with it. It does not need any repairs, as I have it in use every
week-end—and it runs fine.”

It is a long stride from this rather crude piece of machinery
to the trim new 1925 Champion Evinrude Sport Twin which is
a true masterpiece in performance and engineering design. Ever
since old No. 12 was built, each year has seen new and greater
improvements. New devices which added more pleasure and
safety to the sport of outboard motoring. A flywheel magneto
was developed which rid the boatman of the old bother of lug-
ging around a heavy battery that only too often went dead far
from home. Then came the Sport Twin, to which a tilt-up
was added to prevent injury to the motor. Whenever hidden
logs, snags or shallows are encountered, all under-water Sport
Twin parts automatically tilt over the obstruction—snubbing the
shock, preventing damage to the boat, propeller and motor. The
tilt-up lock was added for convenience in starting and is an
exclusive Evinrude feature. This is an instant tiller sctting
which holds the motor rigid for starting. There is no wob-
bling or sidesway. The Evinrude automatic, instantaneous re-
verse is tiller-controlled—merely a lift of the tiller sends the
boat full speed astern. If one is in danger of hitting the pier
or another boat this device comes in mighty handy because you
do not take your eyes from the course ahead or move the motor
a fraction of an inch. It also eliminates the old-fashioned idea
of stopping the motor and recranking in reverse.

Each year has seen new improvements in the Evinrude fly-
wheel magneto. It has been developed to a stage where it now
provides hot sparks eight times the usual spark gap requirement.
This magneto is entirely weather and waterproof. Anyone pre-
ferring timer-and-battery ignition can have the Evinrude Sport
Twin thus equipped—with genuine Columbia Hot Shot batteries
and at a lower price than for the famous flywheel magneto-
equipped model, however.

Another development was the Power-Focus drive to conserve
every possible ounce of the motor’s eager power and focus it at
the propeller blades, where it really counts. From crankshait
to propeller, ball bearings and matched, precision-cut gears are
used in power transmission. The Evinrude is the only outboard
so equipped.

Then the No-Clog pump eliminated another disadvantage
This new pump provides an absolute force feed of water to the
cylinder jackets whether going forward, reverse or loafing at 4
slow trolling speed. Its location up out of the way of mud and
sand eliminates any possibility of the pipes and water jacket
being clogged. (Continued on page 138)

The New Stearns Siz

Some tests recently made of the new six cylinder Stearns
marine engine have more than fufilled the expectations of the
designers. The results produced were such as were not pre-
viously considered possible with the type of cylinder heads used,
which were specially designed for this machine. The Link-Belt
chain which is used to drive the camshaft has an automatic
take-up, and is so large in proportion to the work it must do
that it will be guaranteed for the life of the engine, without
any attention or adjustment whatever. It is expected that this
drive is sufficiently durable to outlive two or three engines. Due
to the tremendous excess strength of the chain, the automatic
tension spring will hardly ever be called into play, and very
little wear will take place. ‘

After the preliminary running in of the new machine, a
short endurance run of one hundred hours at full throttle and
full load was conducted, and the engine ran without and inter-
ruptions, and all parts seem to be in perfect condition when
examined. The operation of the machine is very smooth, with
practically no vibration. In fact when pulling a full load with
wide open throttle, a coin can be balanced on its edge on the
top of the cylinder head without falling over. Photographs of
this machine will shortly be available, and it will then be
illustrated and described more fully.

An Improved Service Policy

Coincidently with the retirement of M. C. Kimball from the
firm of Bruns Kimball & Co. are announced some very im-
portant changes in the policy of this the outstanding company
among the marine engine dealers in the country.

The oldest and today the largest dealers in marine engines,
Bruns Kimball & Co. dates its inception to the shop of Wm.
Bruns in Jersey City, N. J., twenty-five years ago.

It can be said truthfully that in every step forward toward
the betterment of service, broadening of policy, protection o!
customers, etc., taken by the industry, this firm has been one
of the leaders. Now comes an announcement of even more
liberal policy, of even more generous treatment of customers, of
even more open and above-board methods of trading, so that
there can possibly be no other result than a customer 100 per
cent satisfied.

Wm. Bruns, perhaps the best informed executive in the
rebuilding industry, remains president of the company and
continues, as he has in the past, to act in an advisory capacity
to the hundreds of boatmen who come to him with their prob
lems to solve. He has instituted a new house slogan, which
will give an idea of the new attitude. It is Harmony and
Service and every employee and officer of the company i
the jump to live up to it.

J. S. Lobenthal, former general manager and a member ‘
the concern for a number of years, continues in that post in the
New York headquarters.

Frank E. Couch, manager of the Philadelphia branch, con-
tinues in that position, and also becomes a stockholder and
member of the firm, which means that boatmen in the Philadel-
phia territory, comprising Pennsylvania, South Jersey, Delaware
etc., will have the advantage of dealing with an executive of the
company and a man ready and willing at all times to give his
personal attention to all matters, large or small.

The Philadelphia branch, located at 102 South Fourth St
carries sample engines of the makes distributed, and a cordial
invitation is extended to call there, inspect the line, and become
acquainted with the genial Mr. Couch.

HE new Albany Model R-34, pictured above, is the
latest development in fast runabounts. It is a beauti-
ful boat, mahogany planked, copper and brass fastened

and double planked bottom. Dimensions are 34’ x 7’ x 28”.
with seating capacity for eleven passengers, on deep spring

upholstery, tailored for salt-water service.

The construction follows the highest standards of the boat
builders’ art while the design is a bit in advance of anything
in the water today. The underbody is the standard Albany
“V” bottom with broad, flat sections aft; the sides are grace-
fully molded to blend with the streamlined upper works and
new Albany streamline stern.

While beautifying the “V” bottom type, we hold fast to our
knowledge of practical salt-water requirements. For example,
no aluminum or nickel plating is used, but deck fittings are
genuine A B C metal. Albany safety features are built
in. The power installation is a story in itself of new achieve-
ments. Most completely equipped.

Engine is Sterling Dolphin Six Special, for speed of over forty
miles per hour—a proven marine motor good in salt or fresh
water—a smooth balanced six. Other possibilities are fifty-
five miles with Wright Typhoon, or fifty miles with Liberty
Twelve.

These are just a few of the Albany standardized types. If the boat you are

Analysis of the Carbon Problem
(Continued from page 40)

whether or not everything is as it was described by the owners,
For my own information, I investigated several of these cases
some months ago, and developed the following facts, which
should be of inestimable value to those who have been oul led
with excessive carbon formation.

First: carbon is the partially burnt residue (or heavier por-
tion) of our fuel or lubricant, which remains in the combustion
chamber after each explosion. These deposits gradually ac-
cumulate as time goes on, with the consequence that the more
carbon present, the faster new carbon deposits form. This is
due to the fact that the old carbon deposits make an ideal sur-
face for the new carbon to adhere to. In fact most of you have
already noticed that carbon first forms on any rough spots or
projections in the combustion chamber. Summing it up, carbon
is the remaining portion of incomplete combustion which lodges
on any place where it can adhere. Incomplete combustion may
be due to any of the following faults:

1—Compression

(a) Poor, due to leaks past rings, piston scored or worn
cylinders, defective gaskets, worn cams, or defective valves.

(b) Too low, due to improper design, leaks as described in
(a) poor valve timing, too small clearance in valve tappets,
worn cams, too small intake manifold or carburéter, or gaskets
obstructing some of the intake passages.

(c) Too high, due to improper design, engine loaded too
heavily, or poor valve timing.

(d) Varies in different cylinders, due to any of the above
faults, one cylinder larger than another, or some of the valves
sticking in the guides or by weak springs.

2—Ignition

(a) Improper timing, due to incorrect setting, slipping gears,
broken gear teeth, using separate coil for each cylinder which
gives sparks of different intensity to cylinders, worn contacts
in timer or distributor, sticking contact points, or bent control
rods.

(b) Weak spark, due to run down battery, defective or im-
properly adjusted spark plugs, worn or defective distributors,
and timers, or defective or improper wiring.

(c) Varying spark, due to wet wires, wires shaking and
touching hot portions of motor from vibration thus causing in-
sulation to fail and a short circuit to occur or leading high and
low tension wires through a tube, pipe or hose setting up
electrical induction.

3—Valve

(a) Improper timing, due to incorrect setting, slipping gears,
broken gear teeth, keys or pins sheared, worn cams, or too much
or too little clearance between valve stems and tappets.

(b) Irregular action, due to cams set on camshaft out of
sequence, bent or twisted camshaft, more wear on one cam than
another, more clearance between one valve stem and tappet than
another, sticking valve stems, or weak or broken valve springs

(c) Leaky, due to excessive clearance between valve stems
and guides, too little clearance between valve stems and tappets,
bent stems, sticking in guides, burnt or broken valve heads and
seats, warped valve heads from excessive heat, or weak springs.

4—Carburetion

(a) Too rich mixture, due to setting carbureter while moto
is cold, necessary owing to too high compression or overload
motor, flooding carbureter, running with throttle closed, sticki1
air valve in carbureter or condensed gasoline puddling in |
spots.

(b) Irregular mixture, due to worn or poorly fitting
bureter parts, sticking air valve or float valve, water
float, air leaks into carbureter or intake manifold, leaky intake
valve stems, puddles of gasoline forming in low spots, between
carbureter and combustion chamber generally traceable to im-
properly designed intake manifolds or pockets under intake
valves, or water and dirt in carbureter bowl or in pipe line
from tank.

(c) Poor grade of g
cheap fuel.

asoline, due to evaporation or purchase of

5—Lubrication

(a) Excessive amount, due to improper setting of feeds
pressure, too high an oil level in base or sump, leaking past
pistons and rings caused by scored or worn parts, oil feeds t
high on cylinder walls (where piped with individual leads
each cylinder), caused by bearing wear or improperly placed
leads through cylinders.

(b) Wrong grades or poor quality of oil, due to being too
light or too heavy for the needs of your motors, too low a flash
point for motors running hot, poor viscosity and breaks down
under heat, made from wrong base crude oil which contains a
large percentage of free carbon, similar to tar deposits, or 1
of cheap oil to save money.

OR 14 days in December last, 38 Lubri-

cation Engineers sat around a table
and analyzed and discussed the new models
of every known motor boat engine. Every
year this analysis is made.

The studies include engine design, com-
pression pressures, clearances, piston type,
location and design of piston rings, return
grooves and drain holes; the method of sup-
plying oil to each bearing, size and length
of oil lines, type and location of oil pump,
size and mesh of oil screen, capacity of oil
reservoir, means of regulating the oil pres-
sure. These and a host of other points that
have even the slightest bearing on lubrica-
tion are carefully studied.

Following these studies, lubrication recom-
mendations are made and checked for cor-
rectness by conferences with the makers of
the various types of marine engines.
Nothing is left to chance, nothing to
guesswork.

The lubrication recommendations take
practical form in the Vacuum Oil Chart
of Recommendations for Motor Boats. This
Chart tells you the scientifically correct
grade of Gargoyle Mobiloil to use.

Analysis of the Carbon Problem
(Continued from page 142)

(c) Poor lubrication, due to wrong setting of feeds or
pressure, stopped up leads, low level in base or sump, no oil or
not enough, oil too heavy so it does not flow properly in motors
where parts are a neat fit or where motors run cool, cylinder
leads placed too low on cylinders and the rings as well as upper
parts of pistons run dry, or dirty or diluted oil circulating.
(Poor lubrication causes a motor to run very hot crystallizing
or burning carbon deposits to the piston or upper parts of
cylinders and heads, which would otherwise be blown out
through exhaust. )

6—Improper use of motor

(a). Overloaded, due to misalignment, too large a propeller,
bearings and stuffing boxes set up too tight, boat too heavy for
motor, using heavy boats for work powered with light motors,
and fitted with too large a wheel, such as in towing or carrying
larger loads.

(b) Excessive throttling, over rich mixtures fed for long
periods, due to running under low throttle, particularly in boats
which are over powered, operating under adverse traffic con-
ditions, navigating around wharves and bridges, etc., or in cases
where boats are left tied up with the motor idling unnecessarily
for long periods.

7—Water cooling

(a) Running motor too cool, due to too large an amount of
water fed to the jackets which necessitates the use of a larger
percentage of gasoline to aid in the mixture.

(b) Running too hot due to pump or piping being too small,
worn or clogged, stopped up water strainer on out side of hull,
traps in water line causing steam pockets and hot spots to occur
in the jackets, rubber lining on inside of hose acting as a check
valve (running the motor under retarded spark for long periods,
and causing consequent overheating, is often times improperly
blamed on poor water cooling).

(c) Running first hot then cool, due to traps in line, dirt in
piping, partially stopped up strainer on outside of hull, collapsed
rubber hose, or where inside of hose comes loose and acts as a
check valve, improper piping to various cylinders so that each
does not get the proper amount of water, or where the overflow
is piped out ofjackets at some other than the highest point
(erratic cooling causes the motor to first require a lean, then a
rich mixture, with the result that for a portion of its operating
hours it is getting an improper gasoline mixture.)

Practically no motor will have all these faults, however, many
may have one or more of them, and faults such as these are
certain to either increase or make a nuisance of your carbon
deposits. Also, there is no motor known which has been entirely
free of it, providing it has been operated under average con-
ditions. Furthermore, there are no kinks, appliances, or com-
pounds which can be bought and used to eliminate carbons. If
there was the motor manufacturers would have adopted them
long ago. The point I am trying to bring out is this, if your
motor is of correct design, is in good shape mechanically, has
been properly installed, is of the correct type for your craft,
and the use to which needed, and is intelligently operated, then
carbon deposits will not be one of your worries. However,
when you find that carbon is becoming noticeable, check this
chart of troubles against your motor installation item by item,
and remedy the faults found by either repair, replacement,
adjustment, or by the proper use and intelligent operation along
with proper fuel, lubricants and cooling.

As much of this may ‘not be readily understandable to those
of you who are unfamiliar with motors and their design, a
little explanation as to how and why will certainly help. _

Compression in the ordinary gasoline or internal combustion
motor is the number of pounds of compression, the mixture otf
gasoline and air is subjected to when the piston is at the top of
its firing stroke. By turning the flywheel over in the proper
direction of its rotation, it becomes harder to turn it as the
piston nears the top of its stroke on the firing cycle just as if
you were compressing a heavy coil spring placed in the com-
bustion chamber between the top of the piston and the under
side of the cylinder head. Theoretically, the higher the com-
pression, the more power and economy the power plant will
have. However, in certain classes of motors, this compression
ratio, or number of pounds pressure per square inch of com-
bustion chamber space, has to be reduced to a comparatively low
figure. This is due to this class of motor working at low speeds
carrying heavy loads. In others, such as the high speed motors,
compression ratios are high, as the rotative speeds are in the
neighborhood of 1,200 to 1,800 revolutions per minute, and the
loads are lighter. In such motors compression can be as high
as 90 pounds per square inch, and still operate without causing
pre-ignition. If your motor is of an up-to-date design and
manufactured by a reputable concern, you can depend upon it

Baby Gar

The World’s Fastest
Most Reliable
Most Seaworthy

Standarized Runabout

BOATING May, 1925

9 West 40~ Street. New York. N.T.

“Baby Cub,” a three year old Baby Gar.

UR thought in racing Baby Gar runabouts is not merely to win the race but to demonstrate as conclu-

sively as possible the consistency, reliability and seaworthiness of these remarkable boats. As an
example, during the recent Palm Beach and Miami regattas there were six races in which Baby Gar run-
abouts were eligible to compete. Every Baby Gar which entered not only finished every race but took first
and second place, and also third place when more than two Baby Gars were entered.

In four of these six races, the “‘Baby Cub” took two firsts and two
seconds. This standard Baby Gar runabout has been used for three
seasons around New York, Miami, Palm Beach and Havana, and in
spite of many thousands of miles of service and many hard races is still
as good as new in speed, reliability and appearance.

Baby Cub’s regular schedule from New York to New London is 2
hours and @ minutes for the 100 miles. During the recent Florida
season Baby Cub made several runs through the open waters of the
ocean between Miami and Palm Beach, making the 72 miles in 1 hour
and 30 minutes.

At the Miami Regatta against 17 other entries, this same three-
season-old boat took first place in the Free-for-All Race, despite the
fact that it carried seven famous Indianapolis Speedway drivers as
passengers during the race.

Here’s What They Said—

**I have never had such a thrill, although I have been designing, building and
racing fast automobiles for twemty-one years.’’——Louis Chevrolet.

‘That ride alone was worth the four day train trip from Los Angeles to Miami.”
—Tommy Milton.

“This is my idea of great stuff. All kinds of speed with all kinds of comfort.”
—tIra Vail

“I got more kick out of that ride than running 135 miles an hour around the
track.’’—Harry Hartz.

“I am crazy over the way she banks on the turns.’’——Ray Harroun.

“Fifty-five miles an hour in the Baby Gar feels like two miles a minute on the

Analysis of the Carbon Problem
(Continued from page 146)

that the designer has given your motor its correct compression
ratio for the work it is supposed to do. Compression in each
cylinder is the same when the motor leaves the factory; yet
where it takes place as the motor is operated, more so on one
cylinder than in another, and the consequence is that after two
or three years’ operation the compression may vary considerably
in the different cylinders. It stands to reason that a motor in
this shape will not function properly. It is impossible to get
the same amount of mixture into the weak cylinders, as their
suction or vacuum is faulty, and further decreases the com-
pression in those cylinders. To take care of them a richer
mixture must be used, and as a consequence the stronger cylin-
ders are running choked up with too much gasoline. Operating
under this condition soon causes the stronger cylinders to collect
carbon, and in lots of cases operators will blame them as being
defective. If you were trying to operate a four cylinder motor,
equipped with carbureter for each cylinder, with each carbureter
set to give a different mixture, you would hardly expect to get
good results; yet there are thousands of operators who are
blaming their motors for giving trouble when these motors are
really working under the same identical circumstances. Where
only the rings are worn, these can be replaced with ones a few
thonsandths of an inch oversize. Valves can be reground or
replaced. Scored or worn cylinders or pistons call for regrind-
ing or reboring with fitting of new pistons and rings of the
correct size. Defective gaskets should be renewed, and the metal
surfaces to which fitted trued up of any bumps or hollows.
Worn cams for the intake valves can also cause a lowering of
the compression, as they do not open the valve sufficiently to
allow the full charge to enter, and a renewal of these on an
entire camshaft is necessary. In some of the older motors this
compression ratio was very high, even in the lower speed types,
due to the fact that gasoline sold then was distilled until it was
high test fuel and the heavier portions taken from it. As it
is possible to carry a higher compression on this kind of
gasoline, these motors were satisfactory then. However, in
trying to use them with the present day fuels of low specific
gravity considerable trouble is experienced. Pre-ignition or
fuel knock, caused by this high compression igniting the fuel
before the pistons are at the top of their stroke, make it neces-
sary for the operators to run under reduced throttle with a rich
mixture. Then the carbon troubles start in earnest, as the
carbon knock manifests itself just as soon as a little carbon
forms. This condition, however, can be very easily and
economically remedied by fitting a thick fibre or metal gasket
between the cylinder flanges and the upper base. In motors
where the cylinders and upper base are in one casting, two
gaskets in place of one, or a thick gasket of the copper and
asbestos type can be fitted under the cylinder head. These
gaskets will vary in thickness from one-eighth to one-half,
depending on the motor. However, it will be up to you to
experiment until the correct thickness is found.

The ignition system is a very important unit in the power
plant installation, as’ on it depends the proper firing and con-
suming of the compressed fuel charge in the cylinders. Unless
the charge is fired at the correct time, and as completely as
practical, the remaining portions of the unburnt charge will
remain to foul the fresh ones coming in on the next firing cycle,
and these unburnt charges are the basis for carbon deposits.
The firing sequence should be uniform in all cylinders, and
each spark should be hot enough to instantly fire each charge.
Timing the spark too late, and running under this condition,
seriously overheats the engine and burns those powdery or flakey
carbon deposits to the exposed metal surfaces in the combustion
chamber, which would otherwise be blown out through the
exhaust valves. Also, with a late spark, rich mixtures are
necessary.

Proper timing and functioning of the intake and exhaust
valves, determines the power output and the fuel consumption,
as they admit the fuel charge and allow the escape of the burnt
and expanded gases. It can be readily seen that any engine
whose exhaust valves open so as to retain a portion of old
burnt charge in the cylinder are certain to have excessive carbon.
In most engines the gears are punch marked so they can easily
be meshed to obtain the proper valve timing, and only in rare
cases can this timing be improved. Leaky valves are certain to
cause weak compression, dilution of the fuel charge and general
power losses along with carbon and other ills. _

Carburetion is the chief offender in forming carbon, and
much of it is due to poor adjusting and improper operation.
The agent or manufacturer who sells you an engine, and tells
you not to bother the carbureter setting, is laying the foundation
for unsatisfied customers, because there is no carbureter made
which will automatically adjust itself to allow for hot, cold, dry,
or wet weather. You have probably noticed that on damp days

Analysis of the Carbon Problem
(Continued from page 150)

in the summer you get better results with a lean mixture, while
on cold dry days more gasoline must be given to the mixture.
If you are interested enough to adjust your carbureter for
weather changes and after the motor has warmed up, you will
add immensely to your mileage per gallon, and carbon will not
trouble you in the least. Always strive to use the maximum
amount of air and the minimum of gasoline. Most carbureters
today have adjustments for both idling and full power running,
and these two settings should be made after the motor is warmed
up. Intake manifolds and valve pockets should be designed so
as to afford drainage of any condensed fuel back to the carbur-
eter, as low spots will collect puddles of raw gasoline, and foul
the mixture. Sharp bends or rough interiors also help to con-
dense the fuel from the mixture as it passes by, and should be
eliminated when possible. Air leaks around valve stems or
gaskets also cause trouble as they give the mixture too much
air. Intake manifolds or carbureters of the incorrect size will
give you much trouble, as with this combination it is impossible
to adjust the carbureters for the correct mixture. When you
find any faults, remedy them at once, even though they haven't
caused any serious trouble as yet. :
_Many people improperly blame all carbon troubles on lubrica-
tion, claiming that, as it contains more free carbon.or residu:
than gasoline, it naturally leaves more carbon behind. What they
lose sight of is the fact that if the engine is in fair condition
with the lubrication system working properly, a very small
amount of oil can get into the combustion chamber. The
lubricant should be of the proper quality and consistency for
your motor; the pressure or feed adjustments be properly made;
the leads or pipes should be properly placed, only the correct
amount of oil should be kept in the lubricator, base or sump;
and that oil should be clean and reasonably fresh, as dirty oil
will be sure to leave dirt behind it and carbon if it works up
past the pistons. Good quality lubricants are made from the
proper base crude oils and what carbon they make is invariably
sooty or flakey, which causes it to be blown out with the ex-
hausted gases. One of the first places to look at in order to see
if the motor is getting an excessive amount of oil is the valve
stems on the exhaust side, as they will be coated with a thick
gummy deposit as soon as too much oil works up into the com-
bustion chamber, and often times they start sticking in the guides.
Where cylinders, pistons, and rings are either worn or scored,
more oil is bound to be pumped up into the combustion chambers,
and regrinding with the fitting of new rings and pistons are the
only remedy. Oil pipes or leads to the cylinders are sometimes
placed too high on the cylinder walls, causing oil to work up
past the rings in the suction stroke (particularly in motors with
automatic intake valves), and in cases like this it is necessary
to place the lead a little lower. The proper place on motors,
which are slightly worn, is at a point on the cylinder wall oppo-
site the piston pin at the bottom of the stroke. Motors de-
pending on splash systems are very sensitive to over high oil
levels in the base or sump, while those having the pressure
systems will find it best to slightly lower the pressure as the
motor becomes worn. Splash plates on motors using splash
systems are but a sort of baffle plate fastened to the lower part
of the cylinder skirt and slotted to allow for rod travel. These
are very effective, but in many cases are so much so that the
cylinders and pistons do not get sufficient oil for their needs.
The best remedy, where motors need splash plates, is to have an
individual oil feed from the pump to each cylinder, so that the
cylinder lubrication can be adjusted properly even though the
splash plates keep oil from splashing up out of the base. Any
systems which use the oil over and over should be frequently
drained and fresh lubricant put in, so that the body of the oil
is always correct.

Improper water circulation can also add to carbon troubles.
If the motor is supplied with too much water it is certain to run
too cool, and cool motors use more gasoline than those operating
at a jacket temperature of about 100 degrees; consequently, the
more fuel used, the more carbon deposited where motors run
too hot, another condition exists, and that is where the excessive
heat retained in the metal walls of the combustion chamber cause
whatever carbon present to be burnt on these metal surfaces.
This class of flint like carbon stays put until it is removed with
a chisel, and is mostly incandescent. while the motor is in opera-
tion, calling for an over rich mixture, and reduced throttle
operation which continues to add more carbon very rapi ly.
Where the water circulation is faulty, forming hot spots from
steam pockets, traps or sediment, these spots will soon collect
a good deposit of this hard carbon.

Improper use or operation of any motor ranks second to
carburetion in carbon formation, and the fault lies solely with the
operator. High speed motors which are excessively idled or run
under reduced throttle for long periods of time soon beconv

An Engineering Masterpiece

HE record of W-S-M performance in scores of cruisers and work boats is selling more boat-
men every day on W-S-M value.

W-S-M engines are built to give the kind of service that keeps them out of the repair shop. The
design and quality of every item entering into the nape pgs of W-S-M engines prove this
statement. For instance, the renewable cylinder walls of the W-S-M can be completely removed
as easy as replacing a valye, whereas on ordinary engines a damaged cylinder usually means the
replacing of the entire cylinder block. You have to pay a great deal more to get such quality and
value in any other marine engine.

Analysis of the Carbon Problem
(Continued from page 152)

thoroughly fouled with carbon, unless the carbureter is adjusted
for this speed every time it is done. Running any motor under
constant overload calls for rich mixtures and trouble soon starts.
Such things as too large a propeller, misalignment, dragging
reverse band, bent shafting, too tight bearings or stuffing boxes,
and use of small light engines in heavy boats for towing or
carrying heavy loads are generally causes for overloading.

Water drip, steam or patented carbon removing and pre-
ventative systems are invariable and temporary remedies. Ili
they were half what their manufacturers or boosters claimed for
them, the motor manufacturers would adopt them as stock
equipment.

Where only a small amount of carbon is present, most of it can
be removed by pouring about a half pint of alcohol into a four
cylinder engine while it is hot, dividing the quantity equally for
each cylinder. A's soon as the motor is cold, start it up, run at
a good rate of speed and slowly feed about a glass of fresh
water through the air intake of the carbureter. After this has
been done, run for about five minutes with the pet cocks open,
and with an extra supply of oil feeding to the cylinders. This
will remove most of the carbon. The only sure way, however,
is to remove the heads and scrape it out.

As a sort of after-thought, remember to keep the engine room
clean and the air intake of the carbureter screened, as dust and
dirt sucked into the engine will gradually stick to any carbon
formations in the combustion chamber and accordingly increase
their volume.—V. L. S., Wilmington, Del.

Applying a Canvas Deck
(Continued from page 42)

The usual objection to a canvas-covered deck is the fact that
canvas, several years old, is apt to crack, causing a leak and a
most untidy appearance. Cracking is caused, first, by an im-
proper bond between the fabric and the wood; second, by the
wooden decking being too light so that it gives with the wrench-
ing of the boat and the weight of persons walking upon it; and
third, by a too thorough impregnation of the fabric with paint
so that the entire fabric becomes stiffened instead of the paint
simply forming a coating on the surface.

Let us consider these objections in their proper order. A
proper bond can be obtained by the intelligent use of a high-
grade marine glue, such as Jeffery’s applied, according to the
directions on each can. The second objection is one which must
be cared for when the deck is constructed, but, if the present
deck planking is light and the edges are not planed smooth a
satisfactory job can still be obtained by laying sheets of building
felt down in the glue and then glue again, and finally the canvas.
The system provides a soft pad between wood and canvas and
prevents the edges of the planks from cutting the fabric. Inci-
dentally, it is a good thing on any deck, for the surface is
smoother and much pleasanter to walk upon.

The third item, that of impregnating the fabric, can be
adjusted by sponging the canvas with fresh water after it is
stretched in place and before the paint is applied. The water
will fill the pores of the canvas and prevent the paint from
sinking through. In addition, always use as few, and as thin
coats of paint, as possible. As a general rule, not over three
coats of thin paint should be used on a new job, and not over
one coat used each year. After about eight coats are on the
job is ready for burning off and repainting with about two coats.

In originally applying canvas, it is always advisable to get
the entire piece in one width. If seams are necessary, have them
sewed by a sailmaker instead of trying to make a lap seam witli
tacks. First apply the glue according to the directions and then
stretch the canvas as tightly as possible, using a block and tackle
if the piece is very large and have plenty of helping hands.
3efore tacking over the edge of the deck, start at the center,
and, with smooth piece of wood, iron the fabric towards the
sides. This will increase the bond and take out all wrinkles.
After tacking, sponge the surface, wipe free of all visible drops,
and then paint immediately. This is the system used in many
of the best known yacht yards throughout the country.—W. C
T., New York, N. Y.

“The single cylinder 12% H.P.
Cummins Oil Engine, which I in-
stalled in my boat fourteen months
ago has been in continuous opera-
tion under the most trying con-
ditions, which is trawling for
shrimp in the Louisiana marshes
and Gulf of Mexico. I have not
spent five cents for repairs. Have
had cylinder head off but once for
grinding valves, and found engine
absolutely free from carbon. Fuel
consumption is about % pound per
brake horsepower hour, which is
very remarkable. I have just in
stalled my second 12% H.P. engine
and expect to install the 3-cylinder
engine within the next two weeks.”

Agencies Open

The International: motor which was formerly made by the
International Motor Company of Detroit, is now being manu-
factured by Sutter Brothers of New York, who have taken over
the entire production of these machines. They are seeking rep-
utable trade connections with dealers in several sections of the
East, to assist in the sales of these machines. Since taking over
the engine they have made several improvements in it, which in-
crease its value. Among these are American Bosch ignition
devices and an enclosed Joe’s reverse gear.

A Knock Down Catalog

An interesting booklet has just been issued by the Brooks
Boat Company of Saginaw, Mich., which describes and illustrates
a large number of their stock boat hulls which are furnished in
knock-down form. This is a popular way to secure boat mate-
rial, and many young men throughout the country are building
themselves boats suitable to their localities. The fact that many
of these boats are adaptable to being driven by the Gray model
Z and V engines, is also of interest, since the low cost of these
machines, and this economical method of boat building, permit
many to undertake a job, which would otherwise be beyond
their means.

Homelite Sets Abroad

The large French cruiser Saint Hubert, owned by France
Haincque de Saint Senoch of Neuilly y Seine, is one of several
boats owned by this gentleman, who is a member of the oldest
and best known families in France. This boat is equipped with
a Homelite electric generating set to furnish auxiliary current
for lighting, and we are indebted to Charles H. Ferguson, Presi-
dent of the Homelite Corporation, for the photograph and data.

Hall-Scott Sales Office Moved

Last month we mentioned that the Eastern sales and service
branch of the Hall-Scott Motor Car Company, which is in
charge of Arthur J. Utz, was preparing to relocate in New York
City. This move has now been completed, and the New York
office at 461 Eighth Avenue is in full operating order. Service
of all kinds can be secured on any of the Hall-Scott engines,
and a full stock of marine parts is kept on hand so that there
will be no delay in shipping them when required. A _ brief
mention has been issued of a new four and six-cylinder engine,
which is to be fitted with a sliding gear transmission, witir
positive forward and reverse control. It is intended that this
machine should drive a large size propeller at an approximately
three-to-one ratio, and propellers can be driven at as low as
75 r.p.m. for maneuvering and control.

A New Catalog

The Scripps Motor Company of Detroit, Mich.,. builders of
the Scripps engines which were used to drive the new class of
Biscayne Baby runabouts in the races at Miami, have issued a
new catalog, which contains a full and complete description of
all of the several types and varieties of engines, which they
build. Interested readers of MoToR BoatinG can secure a copy
of this booklet by writing to the Scripps Motor Company at
5819 Lincoln Ave., Detroit, Mich.

Try a Stearns Four or Six. It is quiet and vibrationless. From instant pick-up to
sudden retarding of motor, you get maximum power. It responds instantly to every
touch of the throttle.

Dependability for uninterrupted service is the ruling factor in the Stearns Four and
Six. Each part is manufactured with that thought in mind. The crankshaft is a very
heavy chrome nickel steel forging, heat treated to a scleroscope hardness of 50 to
secure an elastic limit of 140,000 pounds per square inch.

A Victory for Old Man Joe

News has just drifted in from Buffalo to the effect that Old
Man Joe of the Snow & Petrelli Mfg. Co. has won another big
victory in the great race of business.

. L. Grimm, President of the Peerless Marine Motor Co.
who has used the Joe gear on his famous line of heavy duty
engines, has now also standardized on the Joe’s duplex drive
gear for his new line of medium and high speed motors, which
created a sensation at the New York Show.

Mr. Grimm tells the Snow & Petrelli Mfg. Co. that he chose
Joe’s duplex drive gear for his new line largely because it
transmits the power direct from the motor to the propeller
through double friction clutches and not through locked gear
teeth, thus avoiding the strain and backlash of the gear teeth
on the forward drive, which wears, distorts, and works havoc
by breaking the teeth off.

Mr. Grimm is evidently not alone in the discovery of this
unique quality of Joe’s gear, as it is the same type of gear used
by Gar Wood, Col. Vincent, Harry Greening and other speed
kings. Its ability to reverse the propeller at 88% of motor speed
also apparently means more than a talking point to these experts.

A Busy New Plant

Furness Boats of Sea Bright, N. J., since starting in business
in January have found much demand for their boats, and a
number of 30, 35 and 40-foot lap strake cruisers are under con-
struction in their shops. One of these is to be powered with two
of the new six-cylinder 100 h.p. Kermath engines, and is intended
for Cheston Simmons, Red Bank, N. J. A smaller boat, 30 feet
in length, for H. Feuchtwanger in New York, will be powered
with one Kermath engine. Another will be fitted with a 24 h.p.
Standard engine, and a number of others are still open. The
shops of this company are large, modern buildings, and the per-
sonnel has recently been enlarged by the addition of Charles D.
Fish as construction superintendent. The little 25-foot stock
cruiser is proving to be very popular, and the plant is taxed
to the utmost to keep up with the demand.

The New Universal Flexifour

The Universal Motor Company of Oshkosh, Wis., who are
well known manufacturers of four-cylinder engines, announce
their new Flexifour industrial engine.

This new Flexifour industrial engine is a comparatively small
four-cylinder, four-cycle engine of 254-inch bore and 4-inch
stroke, of sturdy construction, yet with great flexibility and
smoothness of operation. The engine was designed for heavy
duty service and is furnished with various equipment, which
makes it adaptable for all industrial uses requiring up to 10 h.p.

The accompanying illustration shows the engine equipped with
Bosch magneto ignition, Zenith carbureter, governor and fly-
wheel. Various other equipment is supplied, such as radiator
and fan for cooling, disc clutch, reduction drive, and a sheet
metal house covering the complete unit.

The engine with all the various equipment is covered in
detail in the catalog published by the manufacturer, and a copy
may be secured by writing to the Universal Motor Company,
Oshkosh, Wis., requesting a copy of Bulletin 100F.

New Magneto for Outboards

Of extreme interest to the marine engine manufacturers, espe-

cially those producing outboard motors, is the announcement of
the Eisemann Magneto Corporation, of 165 Broadway, New York,
that they have now in production a flywheel type magneto.

This instrument is a high tension, wz aterproof magneto, which
is assembled into the flywheel. Its design is simple and its
quality comparable to that of the standard magnetos manu fac-
tured by this corporation. Tests have shown the unit to be
very efficient and to afford perfect ignition for these small
engines. It is particularly adaptable for small inboard and out-
board motors of the one and two-cylinder class, used in row-
boats, canoes and other small craft.

The Eisemann Magneto Corporation is the first American
manufacturer of the standard high tension magnetos to offer this
type of ignition for small marine and stationary engines.

The Caille Perfection Motor Company of Detroit, Mich., have
adapted this magneto as standard for their 1925 requirements
on their Caille five-speed lightweight twin outboard motor and
several other marine and stationary engine manufacturers have
tested this new product with most satisfactory results.
