on. DR.. NorcrOSS happened to be more

the seclusion of his room during the

TALLY of a light, pointed main Sec

wood platform two feet long to a
fiat tail 80 feet long. The forward
section contains the motor, from
which a shaft runs to the propeller
in the tail. The rear end of the tail
is almost submerged. while the for
ward end and the main boat float on
