a distance like the smoke from a conflagra¬ 
tion. He demurred at first, saying that 
sometimes the rollers broke far out at sea. 
But perhaps he was fascinated by the 
sirens; perhaps he did not wish to appear 
lacking in courage. At any rate, toward 
the beach our boat gradually edged, while 
some of us trolled and another mounted up 
forward on the bowsprit, in the “pulpit”— 
cage provided for the swordfish harpooner 
on all these boats. 
We were perhaps an eighth of a mile, 
perhaps more, off the beach, our little boat 
tossing on the great rollers, when above the 
deafening roar of the breakers came a 
shout. 
“Look out; head her into it quick!” And 
there, right on top of us almost, came 
sweeping a vast mountain of blue water, 
its crest apparently about to break and 
engulf us! The bow headed high, high up 
the near side of the seeming mountain, the 
motor chugged steadily along and the al¬ 
most tidal wave passed. Then we slid 
racing down its offshore side. Our hearts 
stood still (though no one would admit it) 
as we saw the top of that wave curl and 
break a short distance behind us, and the 
spray was blown back over us in a drench¬ 
ing shower. Following that little-under¬ 
stood though oft-observed custom of un¬ 
usually large waves upon the ocean, this 
particular one which had so nearly made 
an end of us was immediately succeeded 
by another and then another, of about 
equal size.—None other so large as these 
was seen by us that day.—The second of 
the trio broke along a portion of its crest 
at some distance from us—even before it 
was abreast of us. We were poor life in¬ 
surance risks for a few minutes. Had one 
of those waves broken over our cockle¬ 
shell, it would have filled and sunk in an 
instant. 
But none did. 
So heavy a ground swell is rare, it is 
said. Ordinarily fishing boats may creep 
without danger closely along the beach 
when the fish give evidence of being in¬ 
shore. 
The albicore have not been regular vis¬ 
itors except for the past two years, but 
the tuna have furnished sport off the island 
for the past six or seven years and seem 
to be a Summer fixture. The Atlantic 
Tuna Club, with its headquarters near the 
East Harbor, has already 185 members, 
among them men of prominence in the 
learned professions, and statesmen, as well 
as many known in the angling world.
