"Yes, there's plenty of them!" he exclaimed, as the number increased, and they shot forward from every direction, drawn to the one point by the glare of the torch. "There's enough fish for us, if we can only find some way to get them out." "That's the rub," said Mickey, scratching his head in perplexity. "I don't notice any fishlines and hooks about here.
"Fish worms, fishhooks, fishlines, bootjack, boot-blacking, and rifle, to say nothing of the dogs and me!" The last was said in a tone as if the "me" were the most objectionable part of the whole, as, indeed, Hugh thought it was. "I wonder how I do look to persons wholly unprejudiced!" Hugh said, and turning to Muggins he asked what she thought of him. "I thinks you berry nice.
Kesshoo made knives and queer spoons out of bone or ivory for Koolee, and for himself he made new barbs for his bladder-dart, new bone hooks for fishlines, and all sorts of things for hunting. He made salmon spears, and bird darts, and fishlines, and he ornamented his weapons with little pictures or patterns.
I'll bet their responsible for 'most as many lapses from grace as tangled fishlines. Where.... Ow!... All right; I found it with my bare foot, and edge up, of course." A series of grunts and short-breathed exclamations followed, indicating that the sufferer was struggling with a tight collar. "Go on," commanded Pearson. "Tell me some more about the play." "Hey?

At the other end he put little curved fish-hooks, and about two feet above them little pieces of lead, called "sinkers."
What if Joy should bring a trunkful of ornaments? There in the wardrobe were her treasures covering six shelves—her kites and balls of twine, fishlines and doll's bonnets, scraps of gay silk and jackknives, old compositions and portfolios, colored paper and dried moss, pieces of chalk and horse-chestnuts, broken jewelry and marbles. It was a curious collection.
The girls left the boys to wind up the fishlines and "strike camp," as Ralph called taking down the pieces of canvas, and all hustled for the shore. They crowded around the fire, threw on more fuel, danced to get their feet warm, and called to the boys to hurry. The five boys had their hands full in retrieving all the chairs, and canvas sheets, and fish lines, and sacks.
The captain rang the gong, the boat stopped, and fishlines were in demand. The flesh of the orang was used for bait; and in a few minutes Morris hauled up a fish so large that it taxed all his strength and skill to get him into the boat. All the cabin party had their lines out, but not another fish was caught. The place where they fished seemed to be a hole, and the water was deep and clear.
Later on he busied himself in looking over a lot of fishlines and hooks, since he was bent upon carrying out his scheme for business in case nothing better came up on the morrow.
