He slept late into the afternoon, but
that evening, when Selwyn and Ian

gone.
They waited another day for him.

sounded from depths unseen and the
reel screamed as he struck.
Up and down, under banks and over
shadows, rushed the invisible fish, and
Selwyn could do nothing for awhile
but let him go when he insisted and
check and recover when the fish per-
