to reach from the sternpost to three and half
inches beyond the top of the stem -Four
inches from one end of this tube solder a
strip half an inch wide, and one and three
quarters inches long, bending the middle of it
half round the tube, and bending the ends
outward; punch hole in each end OF this
strip; in this end of the tube cut four teeth
like saw teeth, oneeighth OF AN inch deep,
like Fig. ,. Put this tube in the boat thus:
Push the end without the tin strip. through
the hole in the sternpost from the inside OF
the boat so that the tube is flush with the
wood, and fasten the other end by driving
tacks through the holes in the tin strip into
the boat. Put some putty round the tube
where it goes through the wood, to keep the
water out. Now make the deck of board one
eighth of an inch thick; plane it, and fix it in
its place by pins, leaving gunwale of bali
an inch all round. Stop up with putty, And
mark with pencil the boards on the deck.
Bore hole near the stern onesxteenth of
an inch wide right through the deck and boat
coming out under the counter, one inch from
the sternpost. This is the rudder hole. To
make the rudder, get piece of brass wire one
sixteenth of an inch, and six inches long; cut
your rudder out of tin, and solder it ON to
the wire, so that the heel of the rudder is
flush with one end OF the wire. Now push
Los Angeles herald., 1906-01-21

the other end up through the hole in the
counter, and bend il down on to the deck;
this will form the tiller, and by pressing tight
ly on to the deck will keep the rudder firm,
and in its place for steering.
Two inches abaft the middle of the deck cut
hole three-quarters Of an inch in diameter
for the chimney, which is tube of tin three
quarters of an inch in diameter, and four
inches long. Bore two more holes in the
deck three-eghths Of an inch in diameter, one
halfway between the stem and chimney, the
other halfway between the rudder and Chin
ney; these are for the masts, which are made
Of wood, and should stand about nine inches
above deck. Put pin into the lower end of
each mast, and cut the head off, leaving about
half an inch Of the pin projecting Put the
masts in their places, and the pins will keep
them firm by being pushed into the bottom of
the boat.
Make the propeller out of circular piece
of stout tin two inches in diameter cut as
in Fig. 3 The dark parts are to be cut
away. The projections are to be three-quar
ters of an inch long. Punch a hole one-six.
teenth of an inch in the centre, and fix a

The sentence was duly carried out in the

which he was dismissed with the exhortation
to go and sin no more"
The most common form of punishment,
however, was that known as viewing" or
the beech SEAL and consisted in the appl,,
cation of green beech rod to the naked
backs of the Workers and their adherents.
This was humorously considered as con6rma-
tory of the great seal of New Hampshire,
which was affixed t rthe charter of all lands
granted by Governor Wentworth.

The ruse was favored by the darkness, and
the men scattered in mortal fear of the cata-

Monroe and several of his men found them
selves seized around the bodies by the stalwart

been given thorough ducking, they were lett
to swim ashore as soon as they pleased, while
the elated and victorious Green Mountain
Boys leaped into a boat, and soon placed the
lake between themselves and the discounted
and enraged Workers.
Sometimes the punishments inflicted were
trihing and ludicrous. rather than severe, in
their nature. A Dutchman of Arlington, who
had espoused the cause of the Workers. de-

which may have gone by the board off the
dangerous coast of the duck pond.
First. you must procure your boat but if
you should wish to make the boat yourself,
you will need no instructions from me- as
several capital articles on boat building have
already appeared in this paper
The only directions | need give are-that
your craft shall be very light, and followed
out as thin as possible; be twenty four inches
long. four inches wide at midships, and three
and half inches deep; the sternpost to be
about an inch and a half within the stern, to
be raking, and two and a half inches high,
as marked in Fig 1; strip of lead neeghth
OF an inch thick to be fastened along the bot
tom of the keel; the bows to be sharp, and
the boat to have a clean run aft.
When the boat is finished, paint it, and
