. The complete wildfowler. Game and game-birds; Hunting. 290 THE COMPLETE WILDFOWLER to have to turn in to sleep on a vessel heeling over. The situa- tion besides is also dangerous. Although, in the face of all argument, the steam vessel is admirable for a few days' trip to a certain wildfowling quarter, it is not to be compared with a sailing craft for lengthy cruises. Yachts which have to be propped up when aground are useless for wildfowling purposes. They would be a death-trap on a soft shore. Besides, with HOT TO Sail Plan of Cutter for Fishing- and Shooting deep keels, they do not permit the shooter to search up the channels and lie in the very haunts of the birds. For wild- fowling the craft must have a shallow draught and lie to ground almost plump. As to the rig, the yawl rig is the most in favour for this work. The cutter may be faster, but for 9omfortable working the yawl is more suitable in our opinion. Really fast sailing is not a necessity when on a wildfowling cruise.
