To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Also, strange as it may appear, I would advise the use of two hand-lines rather than one. Should the angler have the ill luck to hook two good fish simultaneously, the very best plan is to give two or three furious strokes, by which the boat spurts ahead, and the additional resistance may, though the odds are against it, keep the second fish on the hook while the first is being hauled. In any case, however, the second bait trailing astern will keep the pollack or mackerel in pursuit while one l...ine is aboard. Two items of importance must not be lost sight of in this railing solo : the oars must be tied to the rowlock, and the lines must be made fast in such manner as, while checking the first run of the fish, they shall indicate its presence to the fisherman. Unless the first precaution, that of making fast the sculls, be observed, there is con- siderable risk, under the excitement of hooking a large fish, of letting go the sculls all too suddenly and losing one or both, when it would have been far cheaper to lose the fish.
