He flung his club upon the ground, and caught up Dickie Sludge, raising him to such a distance from the earth as might have proved perilous had he chanced to let him slip. "It is even so," he said, with a thundering sound of exultation "it is even so, my little dandieprat. But who the devil could teach it thee?"
In smooth water, under the influence of intense cold, the process is rapid, and a thin cake soon covers the water, and increases in thickness hour by hour. But when the sea is agitated the process is retarded, and the fine needles are broken up into what arctic navigators call sludge.
Let the proud salmon gorge the feather'd hook, Then strike, and then you have him He will wince; Spin out your line that it shall whistle from you Some twenty yards or so, yet you shall have him Marry! you must have patience the stout rock Which is his trust, hath edges something sharp; And the deep pool hath ooze and sludge enough To mar your fishing 'less you are more careful.
