How Two Men and Heavy Boat We

How Two Men and q Heavy Boat We're
Carried Along by a Fish.
The other rod lay between me and
my boatman, under his supervision. I
was Keeling in my line after short
abortive cast. when suddenly Pierce
made an exclamation, and l turned to
see his line running out rapidly. so
rapidly in fact that the handle OF the
reel knocked piece out of his fore
finger. He reached me the rod, and
just after l had seized it, taking care
to exert no pressure. a large silvery
mass leaped out of the water straight
into the water and fell back again.
"a tarpon, and big fellow" cried
Pierce.
In considering any statement as to
the height a fish jumps out of
water. it is important to know whether
the narrator has included the length
OF the fish in making up his figures.
That is to say, if fish is six feet long
and jumps from its native element so
that the tip of its tail is two feet clear
OF the surface. good story-tellers will
claim that it has jumped eight feet out
OF water. Others will take oath to
only two. 1t is sufficient to state that
the tarpon in question jumped either
two feet or eight, according to the in
dividual preference of the reader At
that time he had taken out with veloci-
ty about fifty yards of line; the leap
terminated his first rush, and had an
opportunity to reel in about fourth
OF the amount before he started off
again. Meantime my man had hauled
up the anchor and we were in
process of being towed by the big fish,
whose frantic efforts to escape were
making the reel revolve at a famous
