the boatman that il he would give me

hook, and, when that was taken, we
would go in He gave me the nullet,

to start when l threw nay bait over

boat before there was mighty splash
Water was thrown all over me. and my
mullet was taken by tarpon. l was
scarcely prepared for him, but at the
same time prevented his getting too
much line, and the reel sang the pret-
| tiest kind Of song, until he had gone
about 90 feet, that l ever heard. At
this distance he jumped at least 10 feet
out Of the water, and, finding l had
him safe, gave him no more slack
whatever. He turned Immediately out
the channel to sea against the tide and
continued his rapid gait jumping clear
of the water every 100 feet or 80 until
he had jumped nine times. He kept up
the pace until he had gone miles to
sea and into very deep water.
II had no control of him whatever
and he had taken ON several occasions
during this outward sea movement
nearly all my line, Mt least 500 feet
After this distance he turned to the left
and went at least 2 miles, until ho
got into 3 or G feet of water. Then
he turned back across the channel and
went on the opposite side Of it, probably
~ miles After 2i6 hours he went
back into water 3lS or 4 feet deep, and
had some hope OF getting him into
water where could gaff him. But,
without warning he turned to sea again
and did not stop until he had gone l Il
miles. This fish took MS around ovei
