ou ork no,fish,he thought.'ll take you at the turn.
he sea had risen considerably.ut it as a fair-eather breeze and he had to have it to get home.
“'ll just steer south and est.”he said.“ man is never lost at sea and it is a long island.”
t as on the third turn that he sa the fish first.
e sa him first as a dark shado that took so long to ass under the boat that he could not believe its length.
“o,”he said.“ e can't be that big.”
ut he as that big and at the end of this circle he came to the surface only thirty yards aay and the man sa his tail out of ater.t as higher than a big scythe blade and a very ale lavender above the dark blue ater.t raked back and as the fish sam just belo the surface the old man could see his huge bulk and the urle stries that banded him.is dorsal fin as don and his huge ectorals ere sread ide.
n this circle the old man could see the fish's eye and the to gray sucking fish that sam around him.ometimes they attached themselves to him.ometimes they darted off. ometimes they ould sim easily in his shado.hey ere each over three feet long and hen they sam fast they lashed their hole bodies like eels.
he old man as seating no but from something else besides the sun.n each calm lacid turn the fish made he as gaining line and he as sure that in to turns more he ould have a chance to get the haroon in.
ut must get him close, close, close, he thought. mustn't try for the head. must get the heart.
“e calm and strong,old man,”he said.
n the next circle the fish's back as out but he as a little too far from the boat.n the next circle he as still too far aay but he as higher out of ater and the old man as sure that by gaining some more line he could have him alongside.
e had rigged his haroon long before and its coil of light roe as in a round basket and the end as made fast to the bitt in the bo.
he fish asing in on his circle no calm and beautiful looking and only his great tail moving.he old man ulled on him all that he could to bring him closer.or just a moment the fish turned a little on his side.hen he straightened himself and began another circle.
“ moved him,”the old man said.“ moved him then.”
e felt faint again no but he held on the great fish all the strain that he could. moved him,he thought.aybe this time can get him over.ull,hands,he thought.old u,legs.ast for me,head.ast for me.ou never ent.his time 'll ull him over.
ut hen he ut all of his effort on, starting it ell out before the fish came alongside and ulling ith all his strength, the fish ulled art ay over and then righted himself and sam aay.
“ish,”the old man said.“ ish,you are going to have to die anyay.o you have to kill me too?”
hat ay nothing is alished, he thought. is mouth as too dry to seak but he could not reach for the ater no. must get him alongside this time,he thought. am not good for many more turns.
es you are,he told himself.ou're good for ever.
n the next turn,he nearly had him.ut again the fish righted himself and sam sloly aay.
ou are killing me fish,the old man thought.ut you have a right to.ever have seen a greater,or more beautiful,or a calmer or more noble thing than you,brother.ome on and kill me. do not care ho kills ho.
o you are getting confused in the head,he thought. ou must kee your head clear.ee your head clear and kno ho to suffer like a man.r a fish,he thought.
“lear u,head,”he said in a voice he could hardly hear.“ lear u.”
ice more it as the same on the turns.
do not kno,the old man thought.e had been on the oint of feeling himself go each time. do not kno.ut ill try it once more.
e tried it once more and he felt himself going hen he turned the fish.he fish righted himself and sam off again sloly ith the great tail eaving in the air.
'll try it again, the old man romised, although his hands ere mushy no and he could only see ell in flashes.
e tried it again and it as the same.o,he thought,and he felt himself going before he started; ill try it once again.
e took all his ain and hat as left of his strength and his long gone ride and he ut it against the fish's agony and the fish came over onto his side and sam gently on his side, his bill almost touching the lanking of the skiff and started to ass the boat,long,dee,ide,silver and barred ith urle and interminable in the ater.
he old man droed the line and ut his foot on it and lifted the haroon as high as he could and drove it don ith all his strength,and more strength he had just summoned, into the fish's side just behind the great chest fin that rose high in the air to the altitude of the man's chest.e felt the iron go in and he leaned on it and drove it further and then ushed all his eight after it.
hen the fish came alive,ith his death in him,and rose high out of the ater shoing all his great length and idth and all his oer and his beauty.e seemed to hang in the air above the old man in the skiff.hen he fell into the ater ith a crash that sent sray over the old man and over all of the skiff.
he old man felt faint and sick and he could not see ell. ut he cleared the haroon line and let it run sloly through his ra hands and,hen he could see,he sa the fish as on his back ith his silver belly u.he shaft of the haroon as rojecting at an angle from the fish's shoulder and the sea as discoloring ith the red of the blood from his heart.irst it as dark as a shoal in the blue ater that as more than a mile dee.hen it sread like a cloud.he fish as silver and still and floated ith the aves.
he old man looked carefully in the glimse of vision that he had. hen he took to turns of the haroon line around the bitt in the bo and laid his head on his hands.
“ee my head clear,”he said against the ood of the bo.“ am a tired old man.ut have killed this fish hich is my brother and no must do the slave ork.”
o must reare the nooses and the roe to lash him alongside ,he thought.ven if e ere to and samed her to load him and bailed her out,this skiff ould never hold him. must reare everything,then bring him in and lash him ell and ste the mast and set sail for home.
e started to ull the fish in to have him alongside so that he could ass a line through his gills and out his mouth and make his head fast alongside the bo. ant to see him, he thought,and to touch and to feel him.e is my fortune, he thought.ut that is not hy ish to feel him. think felt his heart,he thought.hen ushed on the haroon shaft the second time.ring him in no and make him fast and get the noose around his tail and another around his middle to bind him to the skiff.
“et to ork,old man,”he said.e took a very small drink of the ater.“ here is very much slave ork to be done no that the fight is over.”
e looked u at the sky and then out to his fish.e looked at the sun carefully.t is not much more than noon,he thought.nd the trade ind is rising.he lines all mean nothing no.he boy and ill slice them hen e are home.
“ome on,fish,”he said.ut the fish did note. nstead he lay there alloing no in the seas and the old man ulled the skiff u onto him.
hen he as even ith him and had the fish's head against the bo he could not believe his size.ut he untied the haroon roe from the bitt,assed it through the fish's gills and out his jas,made a turn around his sord then assed the roe through the other gill,made another turn around the bill and knotted the double roe and made it fast to the bitt in the bo.e cut the roe then and ent astern to noose the tail.he fish had turned silver from his original urle and silver,and the stries shoed the same ale violet color as his tail.hey ere ider than a man's hand ith his fingers sread and the fish's eye looked as detached as the mirrors in a eriscoe or as a saint in a rocession.
“t as the only ay to kill him,”the old man said.e as feeling better since the ater and he kne he ould not go aay and his head as clear.e's over fifteen hundred ounds the ay he is,he thought.aybe much more.f he dresses out to-thirds of that at thirty cents a ound?
“ need a encil for that,”he said.“y head is not that clear.ut think the great iaggio ould be roud of me today. had no bone surs.ut the hands and the back hurt truly.” onder hat a bone sur is,he thought.aybe e have them ithout knoing of it.
e made the fish fast to bo and stern and to the middle thart.e as so big it as like lashing a much bigger skiff alongside.e cut a iece of line and tied the fish's loer ja against his bill so his mouth ould not oen and they ould sail as cleanly as ossible.hen he steed the mast and, ith the stick that as his gaff and ith his boom rigged,the atched sail dre,the boat began to move,and half lying in the stern he sailed southest.
