things he had done to help. but he
cut them short
There was no studying that night.
for no one was in the mood for 1t, but
Jack brought out maps and guide
books and the boys went through them
at will. Jack freely discussing the
places he intended to visit in a way
that showed more or less familiarity
with them. They We're all sorry when
bedtime came. and even that was de-

These he opened the train.
The first letter was from Ed. and told
of an automobile that the boys had
made.

turrets round stick painted black
or with gold point represents the gun
as at (g).
THE pieces IT, are sawed from a
round stick you have made a little
smaller than the hole Q and cut long
enough--or. rather, short enough-sO
that they will fit into the holes Q with
out coming quite to the top or surface
OF the block.
when all four of these are in place,
make a cover d the same shape as the
deckhouse. and fasten 1t on top with
brads. After it is cut to size and
finished, this piece A may be nailed
to its place on the boat hull. which
should be done before the turrets are
put in or the piece d fastened on top.
Now for the big turrets T just in
front and back of the deckhouse These
are just a piece of wood cut round-as
big around as the part A. which we
call the deckhouse, is wide. and just
a little higher--the top edge being
rounded off.
Into the center of the bottom a half
inch hole is bored and a wooden peg

quarters OF an inch in front would be
better.
Now outside of this line draw an
other coming clear to the edge OF the
block IN the front and rear. and In the
widest part OF the boat clear to the
side edges. These two shapes are
shown in the deck plan of Fig. ".
Putting the piece in wise, take a
keyhole saw or a 'draw-shave' and cut
out the outside outline. trimming the
whole piece down around the edge at
right angles TO the deck.
See that the curves are true and
with no corners.
