The current rises up above these, and passesforward into the vessel f, which we may term the extractor. This vessel contains the chipped wood—logwood, fustic, or whatever it may be. The water passesdown pipe g outside the vessel, and is delivered fromunderneath, entering in between the bottom of the vesseland a perforated grate h, which sustains the dye water, which is perhaps a trifle above the ordinaryhot water point, passes up through the wood and downanother pipe k, then discharging itself into the dye vessel. 128 DYEI
