It looked like a fearfully complicated thing to handle and Roote was a small man, but that net went flying out as though tossed by a giant. "You're a jim-dandy with the twine, all right," said the seine-master admiringly. He turned to the rowers, "Put your backs into it, boys," he said; "drive her for all you know how. We've got to give this new contraption a fair chance."
Then, as the sailing vessel lurched upon them, the boy noted that the seine-master and the fisherman at the stern of the seine-boat leaped for the martingale shrouds and held them. But that instant's delay, as the bark had seemed to be poised upon the wave, had been enough for the Shiner.
"And if we see fish, Clancy'll stay to the mast-head to-night as good a seine-master as sails out of Gloucester is Tommie better than me," he said. "I'm going in the seine-boat, and Eddie Parsons, you'll take Clancy's place in the dory." And buttoning his oil-jacket up tight, he put on his mitts and went on deck.
"All right," the seine-master called back. "A couple o' hundred barrels." "Net holding?" "Looks like it." "Better get on board soon's you can," the captain advised; "we may have a bit of a blow." Colin thought to himself that there was a great deal more than a "bit of a blow" at the time, but he said nothing.
