“Help, masters, help; here’s a fish hangs in thenet, like a poor Man’s right in the law.’—Pericles of Tyre.
Jones the fishermen prepared to launch their boat, which had been seen in the background of the view, with thenet carefully disposed on a little platform in its stern, ready for service.
To his great surprise, he found himself in a hugenet, amid a crowd of fish of all kinds and sizes, who were fighting and struggling desperately to free themselves.
When the Fisherman pulled thenet out of the sea, he cried out joyfully:
"Here's a bit o'net, then, for you to look at before I tie up my pack, just for you to see what my trade's come to,--spotted and sprigged, you see, beautiful but yallow,--'s been lyin' by an' got the wrong color.
He went every day to fish very early, and each day he made a rule not to throw hisnets more than four times.
A FARMER placednets on his newly-sown plowlands and caught a number of Cranes, which came to pick up his seed.
They came to draw up thenets that had been laid all night.
"You must soon get under thenets or you will be eaten alive!" he told Tom.
While engaged in this discourse they were making their way through a wood that lay beyond the road, when suddenly, without expecting anything of the kind, Don Quixote found himself caught in somenets of green cord stretched from one tree to another; and unable to conceive what it could be, he said to Sancho, "Sancho, it strikes me this affair of thesenets will prove one of the strangest adventures imaginable.
Exciting times are the lot of the fish patrol: in its history more than one dead patrolman has marked defeat, and more often dead fishermen across their illegalnets have marked success.
