bringing the boat up and putting her
OF on the other tack. 81 smell them!"
You smell, them?" said q member
Of the party in the boat. DO you mean
to tell me you can smell the flsh?"
Why. certainly" said the skipper,
as he got another little pull ON the
sheet. "or you can smell where they
are, which amounts to the same
thing.
You see." the skipper continued,

very voracious; he will eat about a
million OF the little fishes that you

fish, to feed on. and when he has

more or less, Of these little fishes the
bluefish will settle down on the bot

disgorged food, oily, floats up to the
surface. and that you can smell, and il
means bluefish; and can smell them
now. sure" And so the skipper got
an inch more of the sheet and peered
ahead and kept her a-going with every
inch drawing, Just a-humming and
a-hoiling, keen on the scent.
And did the party come up with the
bluefish and catch lots of them? A
