About This Book

A comic travelogue recounts a canoeing cruise undertaken by a quartet who share roles as statesman, editor, artist and scribbler, with contributions from a commodore and a cook. Episodic chapters describe setting out, seamanship and coffee-making, a wreck, encounters with garrison towns and Acadian landscapes, sudden storms and swift rapids, and practical mishaps afloat and ashore. Narrative voice blends anecdote, practical observation and self-mockery, redistributing real incidents among companions to emphasize camaraderie, skillful improvisation and genteel folly, supplemented by vivid sketches and illustrations.
