| Summary: | billy 30. A "billy-tub" is an alternate form for"bait jack" and in my experience was never used to hold trawls or "bulltows" (I assume "brilloes" is an error) It would be of a size commensurate with 1/4 of a flour barrel but even if it were used to hold trawls instead of bait, as was its purpose, would _not_ accommodate 10 lines. (a 1/2 barrel was used as an 8 line tub) See cited quotation. DNE-cit JH 2/73 Used I and Sup Used I Not used Card is stamped DNE-cit, but its contents are not used. On first line of quote, 'us' has been edited to read 'is'.
