Wehad followed the fish up, down, andacross the river, and after an hoursstruggle were well out in the bay, yet atall times we had kept within two hun-dred feet of our quarry. Always we feared the tarpons gettingtoo far away. Sometimes the dangerwas of its coming too near, and morethan once it sprang at us with wide-openjaws, falling short of the canoe by inchesonly, and once it sprang fairly againstthe captain, nearly capsizing the craft.
