sectionized by being divided lougi-
tudinally, and then each half cut into
sections about eight feet long. Two of
these sections were put together spoon

when ready for shipment the boat was
about as bulky as a buggy, although
it perhaps did not weigh more than SO
pounds, SAYS an exchange.
The accommodating freight clerk
proceeded 10 take the cubic dimensions
Of the crate. the shipper looking on in
