Mine. Men'ilouca is quite different from
the other American ladies in the diplo

like a foreigner, but she speaks like one,

hard to belies e that she leally was born

little sloop, with hi'i partv of three, float
ing with the slow ebb of the tide out
from the shelter of the bay past (he
massive headlauil of Point l.oinu into

night, stietched ourselves upon the
cramped deck under the quiet starlight
and slept. At V! o'clock in the blurred

little (Ireek and sat upon the deck, lie
iilicudy had a little lire burning in his
nhect iron stove, and the air was full of
lift' odor of colVce. There was no time
to lose, for at II the barracuda would be
gin to bite. There was no wind; only a
111 fill hi coze stirred the Hap of the sail
intcriuittciitlv, ami we were put at the
oars, where we tolled painfully for an
hout, struggling to pass the matted kelp
beds which inclosed us Then the wind
fieslieued, and we slid again into the
open sea.
Already a dozen sails were Hitting
back and lot lh, phantoiulike. in the deep
shadows of the inisl. "Portuguese!" the
little (Ireek said scornfully as he busied
himself in rigging Ins lines. His boat
cariied four of via vards in length,

long, curved throughout then- length so
that they will flash ami tliit through the
water deceptively. A fresh, strong wind
was tugging at the brown sail and send
ing the salt spray dashing over the low
deck, and with one of the men at the
tiller the sail was hauled into the wind,
and the boat leaped forward, dragging
its four lines through the water.
The barracuda were hungry. 1, un

fierce struggle with the powerful fish
securely hooked at the other end. The
man was sinewy and muscular, but the
llsh was strong too. Back and forth
it dashed, now diving until the line
stretched straight down into the green
depths beneath the boat and then tin ow
ing its great, slmiinu', beautiful body
half a dozen feet into thenir. lashing the

He was '-' inches over I feet long, game
to the core and every inch a gentle
man. And then came another and an
other and another in ipiick succession.
The wind was down the coast, and the
boat made a succession of sharp tacks,
dodging now far out into the sea and
then back again, while the water giew
rough under the touch of the freshening
breeze, and it was with ditliculty that '
we could keep our feet. I
Two hours more, and daylight began '
to break, but still we fished on, and the
gasping mass in the bottom of the boat
came half way to our boot tops. Then '
as the dawn brightened we could begin ,
to see the fish when they rose from the j
depths of the green waters to take the
hooks, sometimes a dozen of them trail- i
ing along behind the tempting bait '
doubtfully, until one or two would dart
forward and snap. Many times two or '
three would be hooked at once, and j
twice we were hauling in all four of the
lines at tic same time. j
