This book is the result of that vow, and the author earnestly hopes that it will glad den the heart of every boy who builds and sails a boat. There are probably few hap pier moments in a boy's life than when he sees his little model steamer proudly make her way across the park pond, or his little sail-boat respond to the summer breeze. The author takes this opportunity to thank his wife, who acted as his amanuensis in the preparation of this manuscript.
