SHORT GREY MULLET. 213 



When inclined to examine the net, the framework may 

 be raised by the tow-rope high enough to lodge the wooden 

 beam over the edge of the boat's stern, — but higher than that 

 is unnecessary : the tail of the net is to be handed in, untied, 

 and the contents shaken into a tub for examination. The 

 tail of the net being retied, the frame may be lowered and 

 towed about as before ; and while the net is at work at the 

 bottom, the collector may be engaged over the contents of his 

 tub at the top.
