fish landed on deck to feed sew

contrary. Many days ! went
forward to the foot of the mast,
my regular place for fishing. and
threw the line out about 80 feet.
In the past. the bait often would
be struck as it hit the water.
But in these regions. nothing. L
threw again and again, and still
nothing. Sometimes ] stood up
for hours. beginning with the
first streak of dawn---the time
when I had had best success.
Then, when I would finally
give up and put the line away.
Meekie would complain bitterly
for a time. But she would be-
come quiet after a while. SEEM

had no choice, but to do so. III

night they watch: It Is the only
way they survive.
Each day. as soon as the light
filters from the sky and the sea
wakes UP, it begins again. The
bonitos spread out for many
miles, running about 90 feet
apart, tracking down any school
OF small fish. The doplin live
and hunt in families, although
one sees an occasional single
specimen. They swim near the
sharks, but the sharks are al

most flsh move In the cold cur
rents. The fish had been grow
ing fewer and fewer. Now they
had died out. From the time !
left the vicinity of the Mar
quesas-which I did not sight
until I had almost reached
Samoa, I had very poor fishing.
During this period, from about
the second week in September
until near the end Of the voyage
on october Is, I saw a fair
number of fish on only two oc-.
casions when I passed near
Flint Island and Suvorov Is
land. On many days found no
1ish at all-there were none
IN the sea.
It happened gradually. They
grew harder and harder to catch.
Sometimes, late at night, /
would hear one splash and break
out my line. For four or five
days at q time. and once or
twice, even longer, I could catch
no fish at all.
I lost weight. Even when I
made the occasional catch, I
could not keep the meat more
than q day before it went bad
under the equatorial sun.
But at no time did I suffer
from hunger, though my strength
was slipping away. I trace this
mainly to the incessant work
and sleeplessness. When I grew
hungry I ate my barley flour,
which proved a powerful food,
and my sugar. For Meekie, my
cat, there were the last cans
Of milk. She had lived mostly
on fish during the voyage and
now she grew so thin she was
forced to abandon her dignity
to the extent of eating old fish
"a meal that made her turn
her nose up.
Watches Sea Battles.
During the weeks I was slow
ly approaching the Marquesas.
the sea generally swarmed with
fish engaged in a constant strug-
gle for survival. The sea is full
of slaughter. I learned. Riding
slowly on my silent raft, close.
to the water, I could see the
battles we'll and spent many,
hours watching them.
Sometimes when threw my
hook into the sea, a fish would
take it almost Immediately. On
one occasion, I was using a slice
Of bonito meat for bait. It was
quickly taken by a bonito: /
could tell by the comparatively
light pull on the line. I hauled
In as quickly as possible. while
he tried to get underneath the
raft-they always tried that
maneuver--and this bonito did
get under.
Now the line felt as if / had a
