Mole, without looking up from his task of watching, in case the shark should again show itself. "A fact, sir," said Sam Mason.
He in whom that feeling is destroyed, and taken out with the very root, finds rest by day and by night. There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.
We are not the men lazily and avariciously to anchor our hopes on a pearl fishery; we rouse the natives to cultivate their salt fish and shark fisheries. Tea will soon be cultivated more hopefully than in Assam. Sugar, coffee, cinnamon, pepper, are all cultivated already.

I carefully measured my distance, and exactly at the right moment jammed my helm hard down, hauling in the main-sheet as I did so. The Lily shot into the wind, just clearing the buoy by a hair's- breadth.
The other seals tossed their heads wildly, jumped about on their fore-flippers, and barked in lively dismay; and in a few moments, as if the matter had been put to vote and carried unanimously, they betook themselves in haste to one of the inner islands, where they knew that the shark, who hates shoal water, would not venture to follow them.

He made a quick, fierce stroke with his long knife. The shark gave a leap upward. The water was tinged with blood. The next moment Asgeelo went down. "What now?" was the thought of the brothers.
