. The complete American and Canadian sportsman's encyclopedia of valuable instruction. Camping; Fishing; Hunting. About Boats One of the most essential things for the duck hunter in partieular, sports- men in general, is the possession of a staunch yet light and portable boat. These are made in infinite variety of aluminum, she e t steely canvas or wood. It .should be capable of car- rying a good, load safely and require but little water, so as to slide safely over shallow places; beside this It must be capable of being easily lifted on the shoulders and carried from point to point', be a sea or rough water boat and capable of standing lots-of hard knocksâin short have the carrying capacity o/a srow, a\\ the ease of propulsion so noticeable in the clinker boat, and without- its crankiness. It must be a safety so as not to sink, safe on treacherous streams and rapids, capable of not being damaged by snags or rocks. The birch bark canoe has all these points except for dura- bility. Hence a score of rnanufacturers vie with each other to produce an all around boat. To those desiring to purchase, I advise a perusal of the various grades illustrated herein or in the 'â ^Fisherman's ManuaL\^ recommending particu larly those that can be packed in small> conven lent compass, and stored in a chest, so as to be.; shipped as baggage. Some of these boats (not^ ably the Clark-Devine) are so arranged as to; form a packing case for tent and other portions of a sportsman's outfit; or if a still more portable boat is required, the Osgood Foldiug Canvas Boat is all that is to be desired. Another excellent boat extremely popular is the Mullins Steel Boat; or 296.
