Text Appearing Before Image:
It consists — as you see—of a strong net, shaped like a purse,and fastened on to a strong iron frame. The bottom of the frameis flat, like a scraper, and a scraper it is, too.

When brought up from the depths of the sea, these tanglesare often one mass of living creatures. I have found in somepaper, a description of the hauling up of the Dredge, which isbetter than I can tell it to you, and I will give it to you just as Ifound it. Prof. Verriirs invention—the Cradle Sieve — is semi-cylin-drical ; about three feet long, fifteen inches wide. While the Dredgeis coming up, this Sieve is hung over the side of the vessel, and ulti-mately, the Dredge is lifted over and into the Sieve. The lower endof the Dredge net is then untied and opened, and the Dredge lifteda little, and the entire contents
