Captain Daley. I'VE were In the south chan

swordflsh were SO plenty that they rubbed
the sides of the vessel. We went away in
the dories before dawn and set four travis
to each dory. and after we began to ha al
the gear the battle began.
Baker felt the trawl go tug. tug. and
said: Daley, l am fast to prize Then
I gave him hand. Well. when the fish
found that he was fast for good he began
to kick up terrible rumpus. and no tow
boat ever dragged a dory through the
water as fast as that gent which Is lying
on deck. The fellow was a monster. and he
towed us for three hours before he got
tired. Then he came up easy. and I put
