He can't have gone

He said

Chris knows he can't have gone

He's making a turn

Maybe hebeen been hope before

and he remember something of it

Then he felt the gentle touch on the line

and he was happy

It was only his turn

He said he'll take it

He was happy

Feeling the gentle puoling

And then he felt something hard ond unbelievably heavy

It was the weight of the fish

And he let the line slip down down down

anrolling off the first of the two reserve coils

As it went down

Slipping

Lightly tage rough the old man's fingers

He still could feel the great weight

Thought the pressure of his thurman finger were almost imperceptible what a fish

He said he has its sideways in his mouth now

and he is moving off with it

Then he will turn and swallow it

He thought he did not say that

Because he knew that if you said a good thing it might not happen

He knew what a huge fish this was

and he thought of him moving away in the darkness with the tuna held crosswise in his mouth at that moment

He felt him stop moving

But the weight was still there

Then the wait increased

and he gave more line

He tightened pressure of his thuumb and finger for a moment

and the weit increased and was going straight down

He's taking it

He said

Now i'll let him meat it

Well

He let the line slip through his fingers

While he rouched down with his left hend

and made fast the free end of the two reserve coils to the loop of the two reserve coils of the next line

Now he was ready

He had three forty fathom coils of line in reserve

Now as well as the coil

ae was using eat it i little more

He said

Eat it

Well eat it

So that the point of the hook goes into your heart and kills you

He thought cime vp easy

and let me put the heart poon into you all right are you ready have you been long enough at table

Now he said aloud and struck hard with both hands gained a yard of line

and then struck again and again swinging ing each i'm am alternately on the cord with all the strength of his arms and the pivoted weight of his body

Notheng happened the fish just moved away slowly

and the old man could not raise him an inch his line was strong and made for heavy fish

and he held it against his back

until it was so taught that beatds of water were jumping from it

Then it began to make a slow hissing sound in the water

and he still held it bracing himself against the fught and leaning back against the poor

The boat began to move slowly off toward the northwest
