ter, dive through the breakers,
and dodge behind reefs and
rocks, where the enemy cannot
follow, and enables the owner to
get home and feed his hungry
family, if he was lucky enough
to get some fish before he was
chased off the grounds.
The designer of the “Missing
link” has another model to be
patented soon to be used when
the enemies are increased, mak
ing it dangerous to go fish pi
rating. A full description can
not be given before the patent
is applied for, but the main fea
tures may be told without any
danger of infringement. The
hull resembles a diving bell, with
two compartments, one for the
operator and the other for his
family. The engine is a new in
vention and its motive is sour
dough. You have to get the en
gine drunk before it will oper
ate. The most valuable as well
as the most complicated part of
the whole mechanism is an at
tachment for regulating the en
gine’s antics after it gets drunk.
This new appliance is intend
ed for the purpose of diving to
the bottom of the ocean, where
there generally is an abundance
of sea eggs, starfish, crabs, cut
tlefish or octopus crawling on the
bottom, for which there is no
punishment in the law for
catching. An attachment, to be
patented', will, pic)k up these
fish by suction, eject the water,
and pull the fish into the family
compartment where the owners
can live in security on the fat of
the land as long as they can sup
ply sourdough to keep the en
gine drunk.
A temporary colony will be es
tablished on the bottom of the
ocean where the poor fishermen
of Alaska will congregate and
await the time when the fish
traps have exterminated the
salmon, and the fish trust has
removed their establishments to
other places on the globe. When
that time comes, if there is any
fish in the ocean fit to eat, that
we will move back to dry land
and take possession of our form
er homes, and live in hopes of
being free from persecution by
greedy, unscrupulous, millionaire
cannery owners from the States.
