PORCUPINE CAGE HAS OCCUPANT : SEVERAL VISITORS INSPECT CAMP The Delawares spent a few spare Last week we told you of our first trip with our new ship, Argo, which as you remember we were bringing it home from navy pier Chicago, Our second drill came on Wednesday, One. of the crew was absent but we managed the boat well. We went two and oneâ€"half miles south to the Evanston Coast Guard station where our friend Captain Frickie gave our boat an inspection with . favorable comments. We returned to the harâ€" bor after dark. For those who haven‘t seen the boat here is a description of it. It is a surfboat as used by the U. S. Coast Guards. (It is 25 feet 9 inches over all, pulls eight cars, is self bailing and carries a mainsail and jib, altogether about 230 square feet of canvas. It is seaworthy in any sea. We took our mast and oars to Skipper Arden‘s house to scrape oil and varnish them on July 7 where they were finished and kept until Friâ€" day, July 11 when we went on our third drill. . On this trip we had our first experience with rough water. It wasn‘t such hard work and was a lot of fun. We rowed north to the Vista del Lago and back. ‘Skipper said that we rode the waves nicely, Our fourth trip was for pleasure‘s sake. Skipper and three of the crew with three passengers aboard took the ship to the beach. We beached the boat so skipper and one of the passengers could change to their swimming suits. Then we took her out and moored her about 100 yards off the high dive stand. Skipper soon came out and we had a nice time. Boy Scouts Take a Swim We held the scout meeting at Ray‘s pavillion Tuesday night. We‘all went in for our second swim of the season. When we came out we had a game of ball and our scout master drilled us on nature study, for first class work. After that we got our lineup (Continued on page 30) At 10 o‘clock we again beached the boat and picked up the skipper and passenger who had changed back to their clothes. We arrived soon at the harbor. Tuesday evening we are going out for another drill and Friday we are going to take the Ship committee for a ride. ‘Skipper has drawn up a set of regulations which if carried out by the crew we will be as safe on the water as on land. Tuesday eveâ€" ning the starboard watch will preâ€" pare the boat for use and then will be under the command of starboard stroke (coxwain) Scout Kunz. The port watch will clean up the boat, moore it. They will be under comâ€" mand of Scout Arden. Mr. Dubbs of ‘the Ship committee has lent us aâ€" dingy for the season. We are grateful to him for it because we needed one. Two of the scouts are in camp. They are Yoeman Scout Hass and Scout Blaylock.â€"Written for the Yoeman of "The Argo" by scouts, Bob Hall and .Don Hall, Ship 4%, Wilmette.
