Several times I asked him to give an opinion as to the size of the swordfish, but he would not venture that until he had gotten a good close view of him. At four o'clock I made the alarming discovery that the great B-Ocean reel was freezing, just as my other one had frozen on my first swordfish the year previous. Captain Dan used language. He threw up his hands. He gave up. But I did not.
Murphy, the famous old Avalon fisherman and tackle-maker, had made me a double split-bamboo rod, and I had brought the much-talked-of B-Ocean reel. This is Boschen's invention one he was years in perfecting. It held fifteen hundred feet of No. 24 line. And I will say now that it is a grand reel, the best on the market.
Still, I knew I had him beaten, and I calculated that in another hour, perhaps, I could lead him alongside. Then, like thunder out of a clear sky, something went wrong with the great B-Ocean reel. It worked hard. When a big swell carried the swordfish up, pulling out line, the reel rasped. "It's freezing on you!" shouted Captain Dan, with dark glance.
