When in suitable position in relation to the herring school, the painter is released from the deck of the vessel and a sea anchor is put out from the skiff. This slows the skiff and starts the seine off the turntable as the boat proceeds. 3. The vessel is steered in a circle around the school as the seine pays out from the turntable. The purse line comes off the outboard drum on the deckhouse, through the purse rings lined up in a trough on the port side of the turntable and into the water at the bottom of the BRAILING HERRING FROM SEINE INTO HOLD OF VESSEL. 4. As the circle is nearly completed, the wing end of the seine goes off the turntable. This is attached by a shackle and swivel to the wing-end haul- ing line, which pays out from the inboard drum on the deckhouse. 5. A heaving line is thrown from the skiff to the vessel and the bag-end hauling line is pulled aboard. 6. At this point the following lines are hauled in simultaneously: a. The forward hauling line, which is attached to the forward purse line and to the bag end of the seine by the spring shackle (figure 18) is taken in on the forward gypsyhead and wound on the drimi at the port gvmwale. b. The aJt purse line is taken in on the middle gypsyhead and wound on the outboard drum on the deckhouse. c. The aft hauling line is taken in on the aft gypsyhead and wound on the inboard drum on the deckhouse. d. The bag-end cork purse line is hauled by hand in the seine skiff and coiled there. e. As soon as the aft hauling line is in, the wing-end cork purse line is hauled in on the aft gypsyhead and coiled on deck. f. Pursing continues until all the purse rings are drawn up to the seine davit. A wire rope strap is then put through them and they are hoisted up and laid on deck. 7. The position of the turntable is then
