The Adventure Club Afloat

CHAPTER III
13/17

Three steps led to the bridge deck, a roomy place which housed engine, steering wheel and all controls.

The engine, although under deck, was readily accessible by means of sectional hatches.

On the steering column were wheel, self-starter switch, spark, throttle and clutch, making it easily possible for one person to operate the boat if necessary.

Two seats were built against the after bulkhead, chart boxes flanked the forward hatchway and the binnacle was above the steering column.

Forward, the compartment was glassed in, but on other sides khaki curtains were depended on in bad weather.
