canoeing, sits in the bottom of the canoe and close to the stern end,
though in fact a canoe is all stern and all bow, sailing equally well
no matter which end is in front
The Indian, and the white man who would learn the fine art of
canoeing, sits in the bottom of the canoe and close to the stern end,
though in fact a canoe is all stern and all bow, sailing equally well
no matter which end is in front. The Indian does not paddle on one
side and then on the other. He uses, as a rule, the left hand side. He
grasps the blade right hand at the top, left hand a foot or more down,
and then reaching the paddle forward, he digs it into the water with a
strong, firm grip, keeping it perpendicular and drawing it aft. When
the paddle is abreast his erect body, he suddenly turns the blade so
as to bring the flat against the body of the canoe. This acts at once
as a lee board and a rudder. With these graceful movements the canoe
is managed from one side, and can be made to go as straight as a
bullet to a bull”s-eye. Unlike the dingey or flat bottom boat, the
canoe is easily upset. Therefore the paddler and his passengers, if he
have any, must sit on the bottom. Never rise unless you are alongside
a float or dock. The boy or the man who ‘rocks the boat for fun’ is
either idiotic or insane; in either case he is unfit to care for
precious human lives. Now, the ordinary boat will stand a little of
such fooling, but the canoe refuses to be rocked. At the first insult
of that kind it very properly dumps out its occupants.

chest, back and leg muscles as does rowing
Properly done, there is no single exercise that develops the arms,
chest, back and leg muscles as does rowing. Whether your boat is a
dingey or an expensive rowing shell, always enter it, if the purpose
is pleasure and exercise, with the determination to get the best out
of it.

‘Candles, lamps and lanterns add to the luggage of a camper and may be
dispensed with, yet it often happens that you will need a light at

If he is successful, the striker is out. If, on the other hand, it
falls outside the circle, the striker places the cat inside the ring,
strikes it on one end, which causes the little piece of wood to fly up
in the air, and before it reaches the ground the striker endeavors to
hit it again and send the cat as far as possible.
