0You can say "he pulled in a wooden box in his fishing net" but it's not good style to repeat the "in." 02br

00The others have differerent meanings, if they make any sense at all. Out and through don't make sense to me. If you pull on or at the box, you are tugging on the box itself, which is sitting in the net. Not what you mean.0-
