Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Depths of the Sea: An Account of the General Results of the Dredging Cruise of H. M. Ss; 'Porcupine' and Lightning During the Summers of 1868, 1869, and 1870, Under the Scientific Duration of Dr. Carpenter, F. R. S., J. Gwyn Jeffrey, F. R. S., And Dr. Wyville Thomson, F. R
Since we began these deep - sea investigations, inquiries have come in from all quarters, both at home and abroad, as to the implements and methods which we employ. To supply the desired informa tion, I have described, in detail, the processes both of sounding and dredging; and I hope that the special chapters on these matters - the result of considerable experience - may be found useful to beginners.
