The line whizzed and complained on 
the reel. Fifty feet of well-nigh in¬ 
visible thread spun, web-like, into 
space, straight away! Then came the 
reverse action—with the fish hell-bent- 
for-election, as if aimed at the young¬ 
ster on the bank—a direct challenge! 
Again I saw Chip’s silent, unflinch¬ 
ing movements . . . the expressions of 
an ever-changing face, explaining what 
to do . . . better than with words . . . 
the flash of an old, wrinkled hand . . . 
guiding . . . showing how . . . Sonny- 
boy reeling in the line as might a 
professional . . . the quadruple multi¬ 
plier working like a charm . . . then a 
momentary lull ... a sort of tiny 
whirlpool in the water, surrounded by 
great, graceful ripples ... a whipping 
of spray . . . and, against the grey 
light, color of unmistakable fins. 
“Lord! Trout! Luck never giv’ 
ME one like that.” 
It was Mister Chip, breaking faith 
with quiet. 
And Sonnyboy, feet planted firmly, 
neck as stiff as if wired . . . body 
atremble even in its rigidity ... a 
heroic little figure, hewn from imputa- 
bility, standing his ground although it 
was an experience the like of which he 
had never dreamed of before . . . per¬ 
haps never will again in this life. Be¬ 
cause it was the FIRST! 
Now the old hand settled over the 
young one, as the fish began a darting, 
fighting, acutely clever series of ma¬ 
noeuvres to free itself. Perhaps the 
nearby weed clump suggested freedom 
... or a great boulder, curving in¬ 
ward as it disappeared under the water 
... or the invitation of a phantom 
cubbyhole beneath the dark earth of 
the opposite bank. I was as thrilled 
as if the contest had been mine. I 
think I prayed a little—a prayer that 
my boy might land his fish. The rain 
trickled down my face. 
And now the trout made the line sing 
again as fifty feet of it zipped into dis¬ 
tance! I could see, from Chip’s face, 
that he shared my sudden apprehen¬ 
sion. That 5V 2 foot plug casting rod 
was the last choice for a trout of this 
size. It WAS a big one! Chip was 
screwing up his mouth under his 
shaggy beard. 
Ten minutes of suspenseful playing. 
Ten minutes of keen-eyed attention to 
business, broken only by Chip’s now-

and-again forward-thrust hand 
of 
reassurance. Five times Sonnyboy’s 
rugged wrist had been called upon to 
bring that trout back from either the 
root-clogged shore or the weed clumps. 
It was beginning to tell on him. There 
was perspiration mixed with the rain! 
Ten minutes more! The pattering 
downpour, heavier and more insistent 
now, sounded thunderously in my ears. 
Every leaf was a kettle-drum! I
