Adventures in a Canoe

II one wishes to get a passing glimpse
Of little-known region close to our
shores, and at the same time share In
the adventures of a most remarkable
canoe trip, he should read Frederic A.
Fenger's "Alone in the Caribbean"
Starting from Grenada, the nearest
island of the Lesser Antilles to South
America, he spent six months alone In
very small canoe, during which he
touched at almost every one of the
islands which separate the Atlantic
from the Caribbean. The last, Saba.
was the most interesting, for there
spread out on the floor Of an ancient
crater, was the prettiest village imagin-
able. Cosy little homes, New Eng
land village minus chimneys. all SEEM
ingly freshly painted white with green
shutters and red roofs" Much interest
ing information is given of the native
islanders some of whom live apparent
ly just as they did when Columbus
came. The book rs practically the re-
production of the writer's log, and to
all, except the expert sailor. much that
he tells of his sailing experiences. es-
pecially those when guiding his canoe
through the frequent tempestuous seas
will be difficult to understand. The
numerous illustrations, reproductions OF
his photographs, add much to the at
traction and value Of the book.

ACTOR HAS
LIVELY DAYS HERE

These are busy days for Conrad Ma
gel. Since he has been at the Adelphi
in "The Man Who Came Back" Mr..
Nagel has been as active off the stage
as on. Three days each week he puts
in a strenuous session boxing with Tom
Hewens at the Y. NJ. G. A. gym: and
each day he does his two miles around
the running track. And when not thus
engaged he is out at the University
watching the baseball and track candi-
dates getting their tryouts and enjoying
them. For back In Des Moines, where
young Nagel went to college. he used
to be something of ball player and
sprinter himself, and it Is to keep In
the same fine physical condition which
was his in those days that he has con-
tinued his training since he has been
on the stage.
After leaving college Mr.. Nagel was
for some time dramatic reader and
toured the Redpath chautauqua circuits
through the Middle West. That ex-
perience, too, he is finding beneficial.
For the last several Sundays at the
Philomusian Club he has been giving
readings before several hundred boys
| IN unitorb. He has been reading Serv-
| ices poems and some of George Fitch S
| Siwash stories. The reception accorded
| the latter, he states, would do Mr..
| Fitch's ears good. could he hear It.
