After it is light

He thought i will work back to the forty fathern bate

and cut it away too

and link up the reserve coils

I will have lost two hundred fathoms of good cataland cardel and the hooks and leaders that can be replaced

But who replaces this fish

if i hook some fish and it cuts him off

I don't know what that fish was thot took the bate just now

It could have been a malin or a broroad bill or a shark

I never felt him

I had to get rid of him too fast aloud

He said

I wish i had boy

But you haven't got the boy

He thought you have only yourself

and you had better work back to the last line now in the dark or not in the dark

And cut it away

and hook up the two reserve coils

So he did it

It was dafficult in the dark

and once the fish made a surge that pulled him down on his face

and make a cut below his eye

The blood ran down his cheek a little way

But it coaggulated and drag before it reached his chin

and he worked his way back to the bow and rested against the wood

He adjusted the sacc and carefully work the line

So that it came across a new part of his shoulders

And holding it anchored with his shoulders

He carefully felt the puol of the fish

And then felt with his hand

The progress of the schiff through the water

I wonder what he made that lurch for he thought the wire must have slipped on the great hill of his back

Certainly his back cannot feel as badly as mind does

But he cannot pull this gift forever

No matter how great

He is now everything is cleared away

That might make trouble

and i have a big reserve of line

all that a man can ask fish

He said

Softly allowud i'll stay with you

until iam dead

He'll stay with me tio

I suppose the old man thought and he waited for it to be light

It was cold now in the time before daylight

and he pushed against the wood to be warm

I can do it as long as he can

He thought and in the first light

The line extended out and down into the water

The boat moved steadily

and when the first stage of the sun rose

it was on the old man's right shoulder

He's headed north

The old man said

The current will have set us far to the eastward

He thought

I wish ha would turn with the currint

That would show that he was tiring

When the sun had risen further

The old man realized that the fish was not tiring

There was only one favorable sign

The slant of the line showed he was swimming at a lesser debt

ihat did not necessaruly mean that he wauld jump

Bet he might god let him jump

The old man said

I have enough line ined handle thim

Maybe if i can increase
