NAVIGATING STRANGE WATERS.

For those who contemplate motor boat
cruises which will take them onto strange
waters more or less turbulent in charac-
ter, Ralph M. Pearson, who cruised from
Chicago to New York and return, gives
the following points in Recreation for
August:
Leading experts of the country on
navigation are the men in charge of the
various U. S. photographic Offices They
will give you any information you ask
for, including government pamphlets
with pilot rules, etc., free of charge,
but navigation is too much of science
to be learned in an hours interview, or a
day or week of interviews The best
way, if it is possible to do it, is to ar
range with the officer in charge for a
course of private instruction. Fifteen
or twenty lessons will give you knowl-
edge Of the subject, which, with the re-
quired amount Of experience will qualify
you for pilots papers. Rules of the road,
passing signals, lights, fog signals, COM
pass deviation and variation and how to
find them, how to change the true course
to the compass course, aZlmuths, storm
warnings, charts and buoys will be some
Of the subjects of study. A few months
of such study will give the amateur navi-
gator a solid foundation of nautical knoWi-
edge, with which he can sail the seas and
feel confident of his ability to meet emer-
gencies as they arrive.
Now that you have a staunch boat, a
reliable engine and a complete equipment
load on the provisions, fill up the gas
tanks, up anchor and get under way.
Pull out your first chart from we'll filled
chart case, lay your course for the first
portland see how near you can come to
it. Two, three or four thousand miles
need not stop you. When night comes
on, drop anchor in some quiet water, or
if out in the open get out your running
lights, see that everything, inside and
out, is snug and ship-shape, light up the
pinnacle and engine room and then hold
her steadily on the course till the first
light shows up ashore to give you your
bearings. Then if you are to make har-
Dor and it is strange harbor to you
study carefully the sailing directions in
your coast pilot and the lay of the chart,
then watch closely the bearing of the
lighthouse till the first range lights ap-
pear and point out for you with their
calm, steady light the straight and mar
row path to safety.

Another Lie Nailed.

One of Colonel Plaisted's assertions is
neatly punctured by Governor Fernald.
The Democratic candidate said nobody
knew how much the State debt was and
that the State institutions were increas-
ing it by borrowing money with authori-
ty. This is false, the Governor says. If
in anticipation of the payment of money
appropriated by the State an institution
borrows money to be paid back when the
State revenue comes in and is disbursed,
it no more increases the State debt than
the borrowing of money by man in an
ticipation of the payment of his salary
increases the debt of his employer.

MARITIME "REMINISCENCES.

Geo. L. Norton Under the Pen Name O
The "Bo'sn."
Very few men of the present day re-
| member that the eminent shipbuildel
John Roach's first job in iron work was
the construction of the irol pillars for
Bellevue Hospital, this city. His greatest
effort in land work was that of building
the big iron bridge over the Harlem River,
which will stand for years and years as a
monument to his thorough and efficient
workmanship. John Roach paid James
latter part of the 40's $500, which he had
saved from his small earnings, for the
privilege Of learning the trade of ma
chinist in the Allaire shops. over one
hundred frst-class steamships, many or
them in service to-day, bear testimony
as to how we'll he learned the art of hull
and marine engine building during his
busy life.
The youngster who contemplates follow
ing the sea for livelihood should start
out in sailing vessel, if possible, with
this fact in mind, that handy bow be-
comes favorite on shipboard as quickly
as in an office. There are all manner of
odds and ends in constant demand at sea,
and if an officer of the deck sings out for
a marlinspike, run for it-don't wait for
an old salt to get it. Pick UP the ships
tools whenever you see them lying about
the deck, put them in the places assigned
for them and remember where that is, so
dark night. Keep your pockets full of
Irvine and rope yarns; they are always
being called for. The fetching, carrying
and finding is the light work which boys
are shipped for. Get yourself liked by
the old sailors through your willingness
and they in turn will teach you the art of
sailorizing, until the first thing you know
you will be in the position of a petty Of
ficer, which is the first step toward the
quarter deck

halcyon days of the famous clipper ships.
