well populated with these boats They are con-

three logs, the middle one being the longest
dashed together 1t used by the natives OF
the Coromandel coast, particularly Madras and
also in the West Indies and the coast OF
South America
The Fiji islanders developed the catamaran
idea in their canoes, which consist of two
parallel logs Joined together with platform on
which is placed These boats are safe
and also very swift
The flying proa of the Ladrone islanders is
another type of the catamaran made with two
hulls of unequal size. The larger hull, which car
ries the rigging, is perfectly fiat one side and
rounded the other On this are placed bam-
boo poles projecting beyond the rounded side,
and to their ends is fastened boat-shaped log

set slightly to the front of the center, while
two others of still smaller design are set one
at the prov and-the other midway between the
two. The smallest of the sails is rugged at the

On the rivers of England and Ireland may be
seen several types of the wherry, which is very
popular in these waters Oars are used to aid the

The junk is the distinctive type of Chinese
marine architecture, somewhat unprogressive
science among the ce1estialS. Even before the
Christian era, John Chinaman voyaged from
port port in vessels of this build and rig The
sails are made of mating and reefed in
much the way Venetian blind is
raised. The junk is built along the lines of an
oriental slipper with the curved keel for the
sole and the drop aft for the heel. The COM
mon river boat or sampan is the even more
familiar model of the inverted fiat iron. The
modern large junk is a good boat and will
ride a severe typhoon in safety.
