Why, I offered to thrash him and his two boys only three weeks ago, for hanging around after dark where I had a trawl set.

Indeed, the pelicans enclosed the fish with their united wings in a regular line as close and compact as a trawl or drag-net.

There is some ship-building, some brewing, with oyster and trawl fishing; the fishery engages nearly seven hundred persons.

Five soundings were taken, and, on July 9, the trawl was put over in three hundred and forty-five fathoms.

We had been driving before a light westerly wind, when the trawl caught on the bottom and stopped the vessel.
