a frame of nets

frame nSuppose AA to be small capstans fixed on shore for the purpose of heaving the nets up and down, as occasion may require. BB, the hawsers leading from the capstans to the nets. CC, the water's edge, DD, strong nets running from the beach into the sea: they reach from the bottom to the surface of the water. EE, large casks, used to buoy up the outer or great net, which runs parallel to the shore. FF, small anchors, confining the outer net close down to the ground. The hawsers from the capstans being slackened, the smaller nets DD sink to the bottom, whilst the outer net remains fixed in its perpendicular position Great exertions are then made by the fishermen to drive the _seals_ between the outer net and the beach; when, on a due signal being given, the people on the shore heave up the small nets DD, by which means the animals become inclosed upon all sides.See cited quotation.PRINTED ITEM DNE-citUsed I and SupUsed I1Not usedIllustration on car
