They "are never permitted to walk on the ice of rivers or lakes, or near the part where the men are hunting beaver, or where a fishing-net is set, for fear of averting their success.
The two old people had bought nothing new at that time, and Sören had firmly refused to invest in a new kind of fishing-net an invention tried in other places and said to be a great success. Indeed, there were cases where the net had paid for itself in a single night.
"Give me that large fishing-net," said Essper to Vivian; "quick, quick." Vivian pulled down a large coarse net, which covered nearly five sides of the room. It was immediately unfolded, and spread over the fallen crew. To fasten it down with half a dozen boar-spears, which they drove into the floor, was the work of a moment.
Better success, fortunately, attended the labours of Hannibal, who boiled a piece of salt pork with the greatest skill. We had brought with us a fishing-net, which we determined to put in requisition the following day. The most prominent idea in the imagination of a settler on his first arrival at an Australian colony, is on the subject of the natives.
He wore a blue uniform, and sat yonder, beneath that fishing-net; the others were hid along the shore." "Was it here they landed, then?" "Yes, to be sure, at the Falaise; there is not another spot to land on for miles along the coast."
Our sailors suggested that it must be 'some sort of a New Year's set out. I ordered the 'Flash' to be got ready, and went with the children to make a closer investigation; and, as we approached, we could see that the pile that had puzzled us was a huge fishing-net.

Some of the beings of the sea were of more than human power and authority, gods, in fact; barbarian Neptunes. Such was the Pacific god, Rau Raku, who, being entangled in a fishing-net, was lugged to the surface, sputtering tremendously. Yet he had no grudge against the fisherman.
A laggard at the plough is often extremely industrious with the fowling-piece and fishing-net; and, whenever a man is an indifferent farmer, he is apt to be a first-rate sportsman. For catching shad and wild pigeons there were none throughout the country to compare with the lads of Sleepy Hollow.
While the prince was listening to this account, and secretly lamenting the loss of his good armor, which disabled him from making one among these valiant knights, another fisherman brought in a complete suit of armor that he had taken out of the sea with his fishing-net, which proved to be the very armor he had lost.
She waited, hoping it would turn about, and come towards her. She threw sticks at it, but in vain. The boys, who had set it sailing had gone into the woods for raspberries, would have laughed to see her efforts. Presently she took off her hat, held it by one string, and flung it in, as if it had been a fishing-net.
