Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outing, Vol. 38: An Illustrated Magazine of Sport, Travel, Adventure, and Country Life; April 1901 But Bagley was game. He stuck to it. He put on all the strain he could and got in his line as the guide pushed the boat out toward the bar. As they approached it, Bagley found that his arms and fingers had become so lame he could do very little in the way of holding the fish, and the guide started back for the Pass. The moment he turned, and the fish felt the strain of the line, he simply bucked out to sea, right into the surf which was running high. The guide followed, pushing the boat out as far as he dared, while Bagley, unable to take another turn on the reel, had to sit there and see his line go out. All at once, however, the line stopped and Bagley began, cramped as he was, to reel in, thinking the fish had broken away. Then the fish broke water, coming toward the boat in leaps - no sooner back into the water than out again. He passed in a magnificent jump, breaking water alongside and within arm's length of the boat. Bagley was all alive now, and reeled in with might and main, intent on getting all the line possible. In fact, so intent was he that when the strain did come, it was with such a sudden jerk that the crank was knocked from between his thumb and forefinger, and spun around in the wrong direction with a scream that was really agonizing to the much enduring Bagley. He looked appealingly to Peter, the guide, as though to say. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
