Again and again the great fish leaped high in the air, while the line ran low on the reel. "Paddle, Dick, paddle all you know," shouted Ned. But Dick was already doing his very best. The tarpon changed his course, came back a little, leaped once more and again started off. But Ned had got a good many yards of line back on his reel, and was getting hopeful of landing his first tarpon.
"The detectives!" shouted the workmen, as they sought convenient places for hiding; and the moonlighters were left to dispose of themselves as best they could.

"That's a good-sized fish," said Harry, as he fastened his reel on his pole. "Yes," answered Frank, taking his prize off the hook and throwing it into the boat; "and we shall have fine sport for a little while." "But they will stop biting when the sun gets a little warmer; so we had better make the most of our time," observed George.
