(Cl. 43-56) The invention relates to means for. preserving in a plane with thebottom of the hell or extendminnows for fishermen while on long trips by ing therebelow, while the top of the flue stops a .motor on land, or by motor boat. It aims to short distance above the bottom and below the present a novel device for containing minnows normal range of the water level in the bell when 5 arranged to be maintained in thoroughly aerated quiescent. 5

It is a purpose to present the appliance in such n h use Of the last described form of the 15 form that it may readily be connected to various vice. the u k t being p op y fi d a d t motors, of automobiles and boats without difliws n o u d. the lid is pu i p ac as l sculty. Another object is to arrange the device so trated, and the hose l6 connected by a suitable that it may be quickly opened and closed for refitting with the a f of all internal 2 moval of bait, as required.
