"Well, what is it then?" demanded the girl. "It means that somebody on board has caught a muscallonge and they are bringing it in. If any boat catches one it usually puts straight for home and it isn't backward in letting the world know what has happened." "Have they got the fish with them?" "Why don't you ask them?" laughed George, handing the girl a megaphone as he spoke.
Quickly taking her place on the deck, Miss Susie shouted, "Have you got a muscallonge?" "Yes," replied somebody on board. "Hold it up and let us see it." In response a man on the other boat held forth to view a huge fish which weighed at least twenty-five pounds. "Good for you! Good for you!" shouted the Go Ahead boys together. "Hold it up higher," called Miss Susie. "Is that a real fish?
Eagerly they drew the fish into their skiff and when they returned to their motor-boat they were aware for the first time that the Go Ahead boys were there to help. Few remarks, however, were made and as soon as the muscallonge had been restored to its place both boats continued on their way. "I'm afraid," muttered Mr. Button, "that isn't the last thing that is going to happen to-day."
Its speed had been checked as soon as the accident had occurred and the two men on board quickly began to pull in the two skiffs, which they had in tow. In a brief time they took their places on board one of the little boats and with long strokes started swiftly back in their search for their lost prize. Fortunately the men soon found the floating muscallonge which now had been dead two hours.
I once stopped with a wolf-trapper in the north country, who set his bottle of bait outside when I came in. He said it was "good and strong" and sniffed it with appreciation. I agreed with him that it was strong. To him it was not unpleasant, though made of the rancid fat of the muscallonge.
