"I was going to tell you I had an order from Winfield & Camby for a shipment of albacore if we can get them out right away. Suppose the fish do run to sea," he went on. "I'll back you to find them if any one can. And we're well equipped now to follow them up." Dickie was somewhat mollified but she took care not to show it. "You're not figuring on Mascola either," she began.
No albacore, no fish whatever, no bird, no living creature of any kind, was in sight at the setting of that sun; which, slowly descending, as it were, into the silent depths of the ocean, left them in the purple gleam of the twilight.
Hawkins placed a hand wearily over his eyes and lapsed into silence. Jack McCoy was at his wit's end. The fishing fleet from Diablo had just arrived, loaded with albacore. The captains reported a rough trip all the way over. They had seen or heard nothing from Gregory since leaving Cavalan. McCoy paced up and down the dock while he superintended the unloading of the fish.
To little William it was a matter of some surprise when the ex-sea-cook spoke so confidently, and acted, moreover, as if he had no fear of frightening the shy-looking creatures that were swimming alongside. "Why, Snowy?" asked the lad, "why is there no fear of their being scared off?" "Kase, lilly Willy, I hab de idea dar be something else not far off, dat dem albacore am more feerd on dan we.
"She's doing better than she ever did!" shouted Merritt to Tubby, who crouched in the center of the boat, ready to take any part in an emergency. The other nodded and kept his eyes ahead on the white wake of the other three craft. Suddenly the Albacore began to fall back. As the Flying Fish roared by her, Rob heard a shout of something about "missing fire."
Many boatmen and anglers believe that the broadbills follow the albacore. It seems safe to predict that when the albacore cease to come to Catalina there will not be any fishing for the great flat-sworded Xiphias. The worst that came to pass in 1918, from an angler's viewpoint, was that the market fishermen found a way to net the blue-fin tuna, both large and small.
Perhaps to this might be attributed the fact of his being still in existence: since but for the industry he had exhibited in collecting his stores, and his careful hoarding of them, he might, with his protege, have long before succumbed to starvation. While eating their frugal supper, Snowball expressed regret at not having a fire, upon which he might have cooked a cut from the albacore.
But as for the other fish swordfish, white sea-bass, yellowtail, and albacore their doom has been spelled, and soon they will be no more. That is why I say to fishermen if they want to learn something about these incomparable fish they must go soon to Catalina before it is too late.
"Halibut mostly, some barracuda. Haven't tried for sardines or albacore since your cannery shut down." The Petrel rolled lazily in the trough of the swell as she sped down the coast. Suddenly the darkness ahead was blurred by an indistinct shape and the man at the wheel put the vessel over sharply.
As he put the interrogatory, he pointed upward to the two birds, now within a hundred fathoms of the surface. "Surely they can't kill an albacore? If they did, they could never swallow it, I should think?" "'T ain't the albacore they be after," replied Ben Brace, "nor be the albacore afeerd o' them, not a bit. There be another sort o' fishes not far away, though we can't see 'em.
