It was as the Wilbur twin had said: there were gayly-painted wagons houses on wheels and a campfire and tethered horses and the lolling gypsies themselves.
We had edged our school of big tuna away from the other schools, and it was milling on the surface, lazily and indifferently. But what latent speed and power lay hidden in that mass of lolling tuna. R. C. from his perch above yelled: "Look out! You're going to drag your bait in front of the leaders this time!" That had not happened yet. I glowed in spite of the fact that I was steeped in gloom.
He went to the cupboard, and got out his marine glass and took a long look at the stranger. "What do you make her out?" asked Tom. "There are men on deck, some swabbing out the roundhouse.

And first, since there are now, alas! followers of his who in their perverted straining after simplicity of existence wander about naked in the streets, and even attend to the wants of nature in public, let me testify that though the Master considered the body and all its functions holy, yet did he give no countenance to such exaggerations; and though in his love for the sun and the water and bodily purity to him a celestial symbol he often bathed in retired streams, yet was he ever clad becomingly in public; and though he regarded not money, yet did he, when necessary, strive to earn it by work, not lolling about smoking and vaunting his Perfection, pretending to be meditating upon God, while others span and toiled for him.
