Till I RAW L'S COM 1KNTS When the net is filled with fish to such an extent that it can not be handled, in the manner above described, a hole is cut in the back, as previously stated, and enough of the catch is bailed out with a. dip net to allow of the trawl being taken in. Occasionally it happens that large stones are caught in the trawl and. getting into the "cod," hang down with such great weight that it is difficult, if not impossible, to raise the net in the ordinary way. At such times a long rope slip-strap, or a "clench," made with a running bowline, is put loosely around the trawl and sunk with the deep sea lead, which is tied to the bight of the strap. When it is low enough it is hauled taut, taken to the capstan and hove up alongside. The heaving up of a trawl on the single masted cutters is about the same as that which has been described, the principal difference being that the warp is taken forward and comes m over the bow, the vessel lying head to the wind, the light sails and stay foresail being taken in before the work begins. Mr. R. L. Ashcroft, of Southporl (near Liverpool), England, writing under date of November 11, 1884, gives the following description of the methods of handling a beam-trawl on the west coast of England: "I was out trawling from Fleetwood a fortnight since, with one of the large boats. 1 should like
