double of the distance from one man to the other. 

 It must also be very strong, as the strain necessary 

 to keep the case from touching the water is very 

 severe, especially if the shores are low and far 

 apart. 



The other method requires only half the length 

 of stout line and a similar length of a lighter one, 

 that used as the shutter-release being just the 

 thing for the latter. As before, a " blondin " is 

 stretched across, but this time the case is not 

 made fast to it, but to a ring sliding upon it. 

 This ring and the camera attached to it can be 

 easily drawn along the " blondin " or stout line 

 which, of course in this case, does not move, and 

 may with advantage be passed back over one 

 shoulder and made fast round the waist. Then 

 both hands are free for hauling in the light line, 

 and by simply leaning backwards the " blondin " 

 may be kept very taut. If more convenient the 

 line may be tied to a tree or a rock.
