Craft.
Richard Leathers yesterday finish
ed for Duncan Mcyeigh the largest
and most improved fishing boat so far
built, 1t is 2S feet long and Of eight
feet beam and has a five horsepower
gasoline engine installed IN the stern
The net will be slowed and fished
from the bow, For this purpose the
rudder is made to be shipped at either
end of the boat, SO that in laying out
the net the captain can have his en-
glne backing up and can handle the
tlller and the net at the same time
from the bow. The fish boxes are also
Of an improved pattern, being lined
with galvanized iron and made to take
out for cleansing, which prevents slime
from reaching the bllge and insures
a clean boat. There being no CENTER
board, gangway is provided through
the center Of the boat fore and aft
Altogether 1t marks a new era in the
construction Of fishing boats and spells
the doom Of the old-style craft, as wei
as Of the lusty boat pullers.
