I "That Boat"
! The editor rceeived a personal reply to a letter to Dr. and Mrs. K. P. Ketcham in which they spoke of be¬ coming motorboat enthusiasts. As we knew tidings from these former Free¬ porters would interest our readers, we wrote asking them to send a letter to our readers, especially about "that boat," and are pleased to publish Dr. j Ketcham's reply: !
You kindly ask us   to   give   account' of ourselves in our   summer   home   in the Canada woods,   especially   in   re¬ spect of "that boat."
Well the boat is about all there is for us, just now, as to ourselves or our friends. And how it hurts to say this as I recall—as not a few of our Freeport salt water frienda will also recall—my old animosity to a "stenchy, puttering, noisy awkward motorboat," and my self-righteousness in tri-: umphantly towing by the graceful and powerful''Cricket," dispirited com¬ rades in a disabled or cranky motor craft.
But I am converted, to be sure, and it was this little sixteen foot Mullins 1911 Special pressed steel launch with a three horse power F'erro engine that did it. After only twenty minutes in¬ structions we have now run her^every day for a month (Sundays excepted) and not once ha.s she halted or stopped or missed a single piston stroke in all that time and is "groat fun."
Still I will insist that for running down the F'reeport bay and out Jones Inlet and ten miles at sea in pursuit of blue fish, I should prefer the "Cricket" of happy memories to any motor boat that ever "puttered."
In general, although in the vicinity of devastating forest lires, and suffer¬ ing for want of rain, and now extreme heat and now extreme cold, we are having a genial and exhilarating season here. Such wildness, such sunset skies, auch woods, such (licturesque waters, auch cbeery neighbors, half C'anadians and half from "the States" living in an already established happy and unchallengable "reciprocity."
Then the wild animals so kindly. A timid stranger from "the States," picking raspberries is liable to the sur¬ prise of a big black bear on tho other side, similarly occupied, which how¬ ever upon beholding a timid U. S. lady will at once run away as fast in one direction as ahe does in the other.
Red deer have a run way across our six acre island, porcupines a home on it (for a very brief season) and flying a<iuirrels, chipmunks, partridges and a woodchuck are our neighbors.
Added to our shadowy yet sunny life here, is the weekly contribution of "The Review," with tidings from the sea and dear Freejiort, greatly and gratefully appreciated.
Kneeland P. Ketcham.
Night Water Carnival
As announced before, at 7 :30 to-mor¬ row, Saturday evening, motorboats, sailboats and every kind of craft cap- . able of being illuminated with Chinese lanterns, electric lighta and any other kind of illumination not dangerous to property or life, will assemble in front of G P, Ellison's hotel, Woodcleft Canal, near the entrance, and will proceed in line ou' of the Woodcleft Canal westward into Randall's Bay, and thence northward counterpassing in front of the South Shore Yacht Club House and disbanding south of the club: house, j
This carnival is under   the   auspices of the South Shore Yacht Club and  all club members and   non-club   members' are inviied   to   join   in   making   this novel feature a success.
No registration or entry   fee   what¬ ever   will   be   demanded.    The    boat owner may use his own taste in illumi¬ nations,     the club will give prizes for _ the best illumined boats, '
Neighboring clubs have been invited and it is to be hoped that as the parade is open to any kind of craft capable of being illumined, whether its owner be¬ longs to a club or not. tbat there will be a great many boats in line, and that Hempstead Bay will be well repre¬ sented.
This carnival is the first oi its kind to be given, we believe in the waters of Hempstead Bay. Let eyery boat¬ man show his interest by rigging up his craft and taking part in the parade. Sail boats and all craft having no engines will  be towed.
After the carnival those who have participated -are cordially invited to attend a dance at the South Shore Yacht Club House.- Excellent music will be provided and the privileges of the club will be extended to its guests for the evening.
