Brick-duftto two Parts of Rofin^ and melt 

 them as before dired:ed. Dip your Plug in 

 either of thefe, and put your Float immedi- 

 ately upon it, becaufe the Cement cools in an 

 Inftant. 



When you join two Floats together, let the 

 Plug be a little thicker in the Middle than at 

 the Ends, which Ends are to go into the 

 Mouths of the Quills. Dip one End in the 

 Cement, and put one Quill upon it •, then do 

 iht like by the other, and you have a double 

 Float. — Or you make it by dipping the Ends 

 of both Quills, when prepared, in the Ce- 

 ment, and Hxing them together, which, when 

 rhe Cement is cold^ will be very flrong. 



To dye Quills red, which for flill Waters 

 are better than any other Floats, take what 

 Quantity youpleafe of Urine, and put in it as 

 nfiUch Powder of Brazil H^ood as will make it 

 redden a Piece of white Paper : Then take 

 fbme fair Water, in which put a Handful of 

 Salt, and a little yfr^^/, and ftir them till dif- 

 folved ; then boil them well in a Sauce-pan* 

 When the Water is cold, fcrape your Quills, 

 and let them lie a little in it: Then fleep them 

 in the redden'dUrine for ten ortwelveDays, and 

 having dried them, rub them witha Linnen 

 Cloth. 



For Leading of Lines, the fmall round Pel- 

 let or Lead-fhot is beft, efpecially for ilony 

 Rivers, and the Running Line. Let it be clo- 

 ven, and neatly clofed about your Line.
