them in a tub of cold, fresh spring or pump 

 water which does not contain iron or other 

 injurious chemical solution. 



The young fish can also be carried long 

 distances, and this in almost any kind of 

 vessel. It is not- necessary to keep these 

 vessels steady ; moderate splashing of the 

 water helps to oxygenate it. Change the 

 water as often as you can, say every two 

 or three hours ; and if you see the fish 

 getting sickly, blow air into the water by 

 means of a common pair of kitchen bellows, 

 or by means of an ordinary shilling pewter 

 squirt ; or use the admirable, simple, and 

 inexpensive aerating apparatus sold by Mr. 

 Wright, fishing-tackle maker, of 376, Strand, 

 which the transporters of live -bait for jack- 



fishing have found so useful.
