his Bolt, and begins to play on the Pipe: the Pastinaca is much taken with it, and socomes to the top of the water, and another lays hold of him with his Engine.

Grampels by Mustek# e enticed on land.

Fishermen catch Grampels by Mustek: some lie hid, others begin to play with thePipe: when the Grampels hear the Mustek, they presently come forth of their holes,as if they had been dunned ; and they are so ravished, that they will come outof the waters. These go back and play on the Pipe, the others run and catch themon dry Land.

Chap, V.

Fishes are allured by light in the night .

A Mongst the many Arts to deceive Animals, Light is one : for at night, whensome Fish rest, Fishermen carrying Light in their Boats, draw these Fish tothem, and so strike them with a three-forked Spear, or catch them alive. WhichOpian knew.

Hither at neon , or when the Sun doth set,

Are Fishes caught , or else in the dar knight,

By burning torches taken in the 'Het -

For whilst they take such pleasure in the Light,

The Fisherman doth strikp them with his dart,

Or else doth catch them tfoen by some such Art.

Many men have been much troubled how to make a Fire or Light under Water,that Fishes feeing it afaroff, might swim to it. I have done it thus : I made a Pil-lar of Brass or Lead , three or four foot diameter: it was sharp or pyramidal below,that it might fink the better into the deep ; and it was bound about with iron hoops,that being funk by its weight, it might be drawn under the water: I set on the top aPipe that was fifteen or twenty foot long, and one foot broad. The middle of thisPillar had many open windows, five or six, and these were Glass-windows , wellpolished and fitted to them , and the joynts were well glued with Pitch, that nowater could come in. I funk the Pillar by its weight in a place fit for it $ but themouth of the Pipe stood at least two foot above water : then 1 let down a lightedCandle into the belly c f the Pillar by the Pipe, with a cord; and it was so provided,that what motion soever it had , it should always stand upright. The Light passedthrough the windows into the waters, and by reflection made a Light that might beseen under water very far: to this Light, abundance of Fish came,and I catched themwith Nets.

Chap. VI.

That by Looking-Glasses many Creatures *rc brought together .

I F Females be wanting,Looking-Glasses may serve to make reflexion of themselves;

so these Creatures, deluded by their own pictures, are drawn thither. Also Li-quors may serve in stead of Glasses.

The Cuttle is taken with a Glass.

Glasses put into wood are let down by a cord by the Fishermen into the waters;and as they store, they are drawn by degrees : the Cuttle feeing himself in it, castshimself at his own image; and laying fast hold ok the wood with his daws, whilsthe looks upon his own picture as enamored hy it,he is circumvented by the Net,andtaken.
