Your flag will have two grommets at top and bottom inside corners. Pre-make a couple of "toggles" or two pointed sticks with a grove cut round the center of each, stout enough to take a strain, say about the size of your index finger with the groove cut about a quarter of the stick diameter into the stick all around. Into your flag halyard, tie a slip knot at the location for the top grommet and pass the "loop" the knot forms through the grommet and then pass one of the toggles through the loop. When you pull the halyard tight the loop will try to back out of the grommet but will be held by the toggle and thus will be locked in place at that location. Proceed to tie another slip knot at the appropriate location for the bottom grommet on your ensign and again pass the formed loop through the grommet and the second toggle through that loop of halyard, pull tight and there you have it. You can probably get by with any handy short length of stick for the toggle but it would be a workman like job if they were carved from good wood in the form indicated. You could also tie a permanent loop in the halyard for each toggle location, with a smaller lanyard coming off the main line, securing each toggle at that location for future use, eliminating the necessity of finding a new stick each time. The two toggle lanyards would come off the flag halyard and be secured to each toggle through a hole at one end and of course made of much smaller line. If you need further explanation I am your Servant Sir. YMOS Capt.

Jensen" Subject: MtMan-List: Books of Buckskining Hello the Camp, I have wondered while looking through the Books of Buckskining, that a lot of the arcticles have been writen by AMM Members, I also know that a lot of knowledge men and ladies are on this list. Why could we not publish a series of books on our combined knowledge? And with that money help pay for the land. I think Allen Hall has this same idea and I think it is a good one.

Is there a report on it? a Web site, how about a list of the things found on it? I think that it went down in the 1830's. Does anyone have any Knowledge?

Ole, it was the Arabia, I believe. It is on dispay in Kansas City, MO. It sank and the river over the years changed its course and it eneded up about a mile-and-a-half in a farmers corn field. Might try using www.google.com and type in kansas city. Its in the old town area. Great display they have there. The display literally shows tens of thousands of items found on the boat...
