How like a dream it was, when I bent over 105 TWICE-TOLD TALES a pool of water one pleasant morning, and saw that the ocean had dashed its spray over me and made me a fisherman ! There were the tarpauling, the baize shirt, the oil-cloth trou- sers and seven-league boots, and there my own features, but so reddened with sunburn and sea- breezes, that methought I had another &ce, and on other shoulders too. The sea-gulls and the loons and I had now all one trade; we skimmed the crested waves and s...ought our prey beneath them, the man with as keen en- joyment as the birds. Always, when the east grew purple, I launched my dory, my little flat-bottomed skiff, and rowed cross-handed to Point Ledge, the Middle Ledge, or perhaps beyond £^ Rock ; often, too, did I anchor off Dread Ledge, a spot of peril to ships unpi- loted ; and sometimes spread an adventurous sail and tacked across the bay to South Shore, casting my lines in sight of Scituate. Ere nightfall, I hauled my skiff high and dry on the beach, laden with red rock cod, or the white-bellied ones of deep water; haddock, bearing the black marks of Saint Peter's fingers near the gills ; the long-bearded hake, whose liver holds oil enough for a midnight lamp; and now and then a mighty halibut, with a back broad as my boat.
