A struggle. He is an overgrown Pike^ the biggest 



that ever I saw. 



Senator. O, Master ! O ! Will 

 he pull me in the water ? O ! 



Another lesson. ^^I$cat0t\ If he have firm hold 



of you, and prove the stronger, 'tis 

 more than probable he will. And I 

 would have you to know that this 

 fish is the mighty Luce or Pike^ and 

 is commonly called the Tyrant of the 

 fresh water. So, do you keep a firm 

 hold of the tree, and with dexterous 

 jerk you may land this fresh-water 

 wolf, as he is called by some writers. 



"Fenaton O, Master, he is biting 

 my arm ! O ! I feel as though 

 he were becoming heavier every 

 minute ! O ! 



^3f$catCit> He is only assisting at 

 his own capture, as the more of your 



arm
