It was not until the 20th December, after having been tried by many storms, that he was able to cast anchor in Port Desire, where the crew killed in a few days a quantity of dog-fish and sea-lions, as well as more than five thousand penguins.
"Oh, Massa, dis coast is only fit for seals, porpoises, and dog-fish, but not for gentleman, nor niggars, nor ladies. Oh, I berry bad," and he pressed both hands on his stomach as if he was in great pain. "Perhaps another glass of old Jamaica would set you right," I said. "Massa, what a most a grand doctor you would ab made," he said.
For it was a good-sized dog-fish, one which had to be held at head and tail lest in its twining and lashing about it should strike with its spine and do some mischief. "Here, let me take him off," cried Bob.
But prejudiced as he always was in favor of whatever issued from his own brain as yet nothing had come from his heart he was anything but satisfied with the result of his endeavor. It was, in fact, an utter failure so far as the dog-fish was concerned, for he was there unnamed, a mere indistinguishable presence among many monsters.
On the coasts about Scarborough, where the haddocks, cods, and dog-fish, are in great abundance, the fishermen universally believe that the dog-fish make a line, or semicircle, to encompass a shoal of haddocks and cod, confining them within certain limits near the shore, and eating them as occasion requires.
"Who is speaking?" asked Pinocchio, frozen with terror. "It is I! I am a poor Tunny who was swallowed by the Dog-Fish at the same time that you were. And what fish are you?" "I have nothing in common with fish. I am a puppet." "Then, if you are not a fish, why did you let yourself be swallowed by the monster?" "I didn't let myself be swallowed; it was the monster swallowed me!
"No, no; you mind the line isn't tangled," cried Bigley; but Bob gave him a push, the dog-fish, which was nearly a yard long, was set free, and began to journey about amongst Bob's line, while, when he placed his foot upon its head, the fierce creature bent half round, and then let itself go like a spring, with the effect that it struck Bob's shoe so smart a blow with one of its spines that the shoe was pierced by the toe, and it required a tug to withdraw the spine.
Amongst other fish they caught sharks, killing them before they hauled them into the crank canoes; or, joining forces, they would sweep some estuary with drag nets, and, with much yelling and splashing, drive the fish into a shallow corner. There with club and spear dog-fish and smooth-hound would be done to death amid shouts and excitement.
"What danger can there be from any of them?" "I mean of hating him." "You are right; I do not feel the smallest inclination to hate him." "Yet the ray is even uglier than the dog-fish." "That may be I think not but who hates for ugliness? I never should. Ugliness only moves my pity." "Then what do you hate for?" asked Vavasor. " But I beg your pardon: you never hate!
Cave had taken off the thing to the hospital hidden in the dog-fish sack, and there had pressed the young investigator to keep it for him. Mr. Wace was a little dubious at first. His relationship to Cave was peculiar.
