as the Perai,_the_ miniature side
wheel model ot a steamship that
Paul G. Howes, the author-natural-
ist of Noroton. fashioned from the
hull of an old sneak-box, to conquer
the untroubled waters ot Gorham's
pond.
The Paral. named to: a cannibal
fish. has been .the topic of conver-
sation in and about Noroton ever
since it was launched, end whenever
the captain chooses to cruise. Bell
avenue. which runs pejeilel to the
pond. is lined with care and pedes-
trains.
“What is it?" is the question put
when first the good ship bustles into
view.
This novel and amusing cratt
evolved as the builder worked upon
it trom day to day, developing trom
e. 20 toot one design sail boat into
an amazingly accurate model of a
side wheel steamer. that operates
without difficulty. end is capable of
transporting as many as three pes-
sengers, or towing a row-boat with
an even greater number.
The construction of the boat from
top to bottom displays the ingenuity
and cleverness ot' the builder. The
boat is driven by a one and one halt
horse power term engine. It was Mr.
Howee's intention from the start to
proceed with as little cost as possi-
given the trip for their good work

successful. The wheels consist or
split wood pulleys, 11 inches in dis.
meter. and the guarde'ot galvanized
iron.
A cabin covers the engine amid—
ships and thaeven panelling ot the
sides was achieved by cutting in
halt an ordinary heavy door. Tho
steering wheel is located in the nit
cabin and the navigator either sits
in the cabin or stands in the tiny
hatchway and stccre with his foot.
Mr. Hones explained that the (n-
tire boat completed cost less than
8160 and the power equipment t'x-
actly 860. Any available material
was emplyed in the construction at
the cratt. irdm box wood for the
cabin to a broom stick handle {or
the flag pole. The boat is surprising-
ly strong and entirely practical and
an object of comment whenever it
makes 0“ from its miniature dock
to circle the pond.
Aware ot the fact that his boat
was subject to the laws of inland
navigation. Mr. Howes had her
equipped with life preservers, lights

ter. both tore and aft. a whistle and
a log horn that more than once has

avoiding the federal agents not so
much by the tremendous specd'lt
can attain as by the fact that it
might be entirely overlooked. An in-
veatigation however. dispelled the
rumor.
There is no straiigcr sight to be
seen than the Perni ploughing its
way doggedly through the peaceful
waters of Gorham's pond, its {logs
atlutter in the wind, its dcaicntiig
siren frightening away all the fishes
within a radius of ten miles. and its
builder and navigator standing in
the hatchway. twice as high as the
ship. surveying the surrounding
scene. It is the envy‘ of children and
grown-ups alike.
When asked what he intended do-
ing with the craft, Mr. Howes ex.
plained that he built her for pleas-
ure and not tor any practical pur-
pose, hilt that it was his ambition
to sail into the Stamford Yacht club
harbor. drop anchor, run up the ting
fire a salute and signal for the club
launch.
Mr. Howes is assistant curator of
the Bruce Memorial museum in
Greenwich and is the author of sev-
eral books. among them ”Insect Be-
Miller" and. with William Bebe and
Innis Hartley. "Tropical Wild Life in
