ounce rod and nine-thread line; and
the difficulty experienced in learnin.
the situation of the fishing grounds.
Nod and reel fishing was compare
lively unknown. No boats were rigge,
for it. There was no regular supply
bait. Everybody said I would have t,
go to MOlOkini island, seventy-five mile,
away, in order to obtain any sport.D
But Mr.. Jump ran across Jack Youn,
and the two went scouting in the le,
Of Oahu. Catch of an ulua settled tn,
question: the fish were there; "thp,
took the hook; they fought; they coul,
be brought to gaf on rod and reel. "
Mr.. Jump becomes a word painter
and ends general description of tn.

not all Of fishing to fish"
