He held the line tight in his right hand and then pushed his thigh against his rightced his left hand on it.
as body,putting all his weight onto his right hand, and he was asleep.
He did not dream of the lions but instead of a vast school of porpoises that stretched for eight or ten miles and it was in the time of their mating and they would leap high into the air and return into the same hole they had made in the water when they leaped.
Then he dreamed that he was in the village on his bed and there was a norther and he was very cold and his right arm was asleep because his head had rested on it instead of a pillow.
After that he began to dream of the long yellow beach and he saw the first of the lions e down onto it in the early dark and then the other lions came and he rested his chin on the wood of the bows where the ship lay anchored with the evening off-shore breeze and he waited to see if there would be more lions and he was happy.
The moon had been up for a long time but he slept on and the fish pulled on steadily and the boat moved into the tunnel of clouds.
He woke with the jerk of his right fist ing up ag the line and now it burned his back and his left handough line was still racing out and the old man was raising the strain to bthe cut slice of dolphin and heut only hways known this would happen and he tried to keep the cutting across the calloused parts and not let the line slip into the palm nor cut the fingers.

It is strange.
“You better be fearless and confident yourself, old mis left hand and his shoulders now and stooped down and scooped up water in over the side and then let it stay in the salt ht hand had been in the water longld of the line carefully so that it did not fit into any of the fresh line cuts and shifted his weight so that he could put his left hand into the sea on the other side of the skiff.
“You did notught that he knew that he was not being clearny,and he picked it up with his left hand and ate it chewing the bones carefully and eating all of it down to the tail.
Iwas rising for the third time since he had put to sea when the fish started to circle.
He coue pressure of the elling.
“It is a very big circle,”he said.“ But he is circling.”
Then the line would not e in any more andrudgingly back into the dark water.
e fish kept on circling slowly and the old man wase slanted he could tell the fish had risen steadily while he swam.
For an hour the old man had been seeing black spots before his eyes and the sweat saltedim.
t.I"ll say them later.
Just then he felt a sudch one can widen the opening of the hook wound and he can throw the hook.
“Don"t jump,fish,”he said.“ Don"t jump.”
The fish hit the wire several times more and each time he shook his head the old man gave up a le him mad.
After a while the fishinst the bow and,for a moment,slipped the line over his back again.I"ll rest now while he goes out on the circle and then stand up and work on him when he es in,he decided.
It was a great temptation to rest in the bow and let tthe boat,the old man rose to his feet and started the pivoting and the weaving pulling that brought in all the line he gained.
I"m tireder than
him.”
His straw hat was far on the back of his head and he sank down into the bow with the pull of the line as he felt the fish turn.
You work now,fish,he thought.I" was on the third turn that he saw the fish first.
He saw him first as a dark shadow that took so long to pass under the boat that he could not believe its length.
“No,”he said.“ He can"t be that big.”
But he was that big and at the end of this circle he came to the surfaceld man .
On this circle the old man could see they lashed their whole bodies like eels.
The oldhe was sure that in two turns more he would have a chance to get the harpoonlm and strong,old man,”he said.
On the next circle theout of water and the old man was sure that by gaining some more line he could have him alongside.
He had rigged his harpoon long before and its coil of light rope was in a round basket and the end was made fast to the bitt in the bow.
The fish was ing in on his circleI moved him,”the old man said.“ I moved him then.”
He felt faint again now but he held on the ps effort on, starting it well out before the fish came alongside and pulling with all his strength, the fish pulled part way over and then righted himself and swam away.
“Fish,water now.I must get him alongside this time,he thought.I am not.But again the fish righted himself and swam sw he could hardly hear.“ Clear up.”
Twice more it was teat tail weaving in the air.
I"ll try it again, the old man promised, although his hands were mushy now and he could only see;I will try it once again.
He took all his pain and what was left of his strength and his long gone pride and he put it against the fish"s agony and the fish came over onto his side and swam gently on his side, his bill almost touching the planking of the skiff and started to pass the boat,long,deep,wide,silver and barred with purple and interminable in the water.
The old man dropped the line and put his foot on it and lifted the harpoon as high as he could and drove it down with all his strength,and more strength he had just summoned, into the fish"s side just behind the great chest fin and then pushed all his weight after it.
Then the fish came alive,with his death in him,and rose high out of the water showing an he fell into the water with a crash that sent spray over the old man and over all of the skiff.

“Keep my head cledo the slave work.”
Now I must preout,this skiff would never hold him.I must prepare everything,then bring him in and lash him well and step the mast and set sail for home.
He started to pull the fish in to have him alongside so that he could pass a line through his gills and out his mouth and make his head fast alongside the now and make him fast and get the noose around his tail and another around his middle ave work to be done now that the fight is n the seas and the old man pulled the skiff up onto him.
