He 1752 line but more slowly all the time. He worked back to 1755 to pull the friction of all that new line through the water 1809 carefully and eating all of it down to the tail. It has 1834 he said. I must hold all I can, he thought. The strain will 1888 that brought in all the line he gained. I’m tireder 1944 old man pulled on him all that he could to bring him closer 1950 held on the great fish all the strain that he could. I moved 1954 But when he put all of his effort on, starting it well 1955 and pulling with all his strength, the fish pulled part 1992 once again. He took all his pain and what was left of his 2001 drove it down with all his strength, and more strength 2005 and then pushed all his weight after it.

He hit it without 2215 my harpoon too and all the rope, he thought, and now my 2236 thought. Because it is all I have left. That and baseball. I 2274 liked to think about all things that he was involved in 2324 But they were closing all the time. The old man made the 2410 now made a trail for all sharks as wide as a highway 2411 a fish to keep a man all winter, he thought. Don’t think of 2414 nothing now with all that scent in the water. Besides 2532 told him. I have all those prayers I promised if I 2568 and his wounds and all of the strained parts of his body 2648 projecting bill and all the nakedness between.

But he could see 1219 knew no man was ever alone on the sea. He thought of how 1243 when one is alone. If the boy were here he could 1282 in his life, but never alone.

The old 399 boy woke and turned and looked at him. The old man 399 The old man nodded and the boy took his trousers from 400 the chair by the bed and, sitting on the bed, pulled them 402 man went out the door and the boy came after him. He was 403 him. He was sleepy and the old man put his arm across 404 across his shoulders and said, "I am sorry." "Que va," the 407 the old man’s shack and all along the road, in the dark 410 of line in the basket and the harpoon and gaff and the old 410 and the harpoon and gaff and the old man carried the 411 the harpoon and gaff and the old man carried the mast 414 the gear in the boat and then get some." They had coffee 423 get your sardines and mine and your fresh baits. He 423 sardines and mine and your fresh baits. He brings our 432 he would have all day and he knew that he should take it 433 eating had bored him and he never carried a lunch. He had 435 the bow of the skiff and that was all he needed for the 436 now with the sardines and the two baits wrapped in a 437 in a newspaper and they went down the trail to the 439 sand under their feet, and lifted the skiff and slid her into 439 and lifted the skiff and slid her into the water.

463 shrimp and bait fish and sometimes schools of squid in 464 in the deepest holes and these rose close to the surface
467 the morning coming and as he rowed he heard the 468 fish left the water and the hissing that their stiff set 473 were always flying and looking and almost never finding 473 flying and looking and almost never finding, and he 473 almost never finding, and he thought, the birds have a 475 for the robber birds and the heavy strong ones. Why did 476 birds so delicate and fine as those sea swallows when 478 so cruel? She is kind and very beautiful. But she can be so 478 she can be so cruel and it comes so suddenly and such 479 it comes so suddenly and such birds that fly, dipping and 479 birds that fly, dipping and hunting, with their small sad 487 floats for their lines and had motorboats, bought when the 491 of her as feminine and as something that gave or 492 great favours, and if she did wild or wicked things 496 was rowing steadily and it was no effort for him since he 497 well within his speed and the surface of the ocean was 500 a third of the work and as it started to be light he saw 503 deep wells for a week and did nothing, he thought. Today 505 the schools of bonito and albacore are maybe there
505 and albacore are and maybe there will be a big one 507 he had his baits out and was drifting with the current 509 was at seventy-five and the third and fourth were down 510 and the third and fourth were down in the blue 511 water at one hundred and one hundred and twenty-five 511 and one hundred and twenty-five fathoms. Each bait 513 the bait fish, tied and sewed solid and all the
513 tied and sewed solid and all the projecting part of the 514 of the hook, the curve and tha point, was covered with 519 not sweet smelling and good tasting. The boy had given 522 lines like plummets and, on the others, he had big blue 523 had a big blue runner and a yellow jack that had been used
524 in good condition still and had the excellent sardines to 525 to give them scent and attractiveness. Each line, as 528 make the stick dip and each line had two forty- fathom 533 the side of the skiff and rowed gently to keep the lines 534 the lines straight up and down and at their proper depths 534 straight up and down and at their proper depths. It was 535 It was quite light and any moment now the sun would 537 thinly from the sea and the old man could see the other 538 low on the water and well in toward the shore, spread 540 the sun was brighter and the glare came on the water and 541 came on the water and then, as it rose clear, the flat 542 so that it hurt sharply and he rowed without looking into it 543 down into the water and watched the lines that went 549 drift with the current and sometimes they were at sixty 557 two hours higher now and it did not hurt his eyes so much 559 boats in sight now and they showed very low and far 560 they showed very low and far inshore.

But he crowded the current 578 went higher in the air and circled again, his wings
579 Then he dove suddenly and the old man saw flying fish 580 spurt out of the water and sail desperately over the
583 He shipped his oars and brought a small line from under 584 It had a wire leader and a medium- sized hook and he 585 a medium- sized hook and he baited it with one of the 586 let it go over the side and then made it fast to a ring bolt 587 he baited another line and left it coiled in the shade of the 589 when back to rowing and to watching the long-winged 592 wings for the dive and then swinging them wildly and 592 swinging them wildly and ineffectually as he followed the 597 the flight of the fish and would be in the water, driving at 599 They are widespread and the flying fish have little chance 601 are too big for him and they go too fast. He watched
602 fish burst out again and again and the ineffectual
603 out again and again and the ineffectual movements of the 605 moving out too fast and too far. But perhaps I will pick up 606 I will pick up a stray and perhaps my big fish is around 609 rose like mountains and the coast was only a long green 613 in the dark water and the strange light the sun made 615 sight into the water and he was happy to see so much 618 meant good weather and so did the shape of the clouds 620 out of sight now and nothing showed on the surface of 622 Sargasso weed and the purple, formalized
624 It turned on its side and then righted itself. It floated 629 down into the water and saw the tiny fish that were 630 the trailing filaments and swam between them and under 631 swam between them and under the small shade the bubble 633 But men were not and when some of the filaments 634 would catch on a line and rest there slimy and purple 634 and rest there slimy and purple while the old man was 636 he would have welts and sores on his arms and hands of 636 and sores on his arms and hands of the sort that poison ivy 638 mala came quickly and struck like a whiplash. The 640 thing in the sea and the old man loved to see the big 643 completely carapaced and ate them filaments and all. The 644 ate them filaments and all. The old man loved to see the 645 the turtles eat them and he loved to walk on them on the 646 beach after a storm and hear them pop when he stepped 648 He loved green turtles and hawk-bills with their elegance 649 with their elegance and speed and their great value and 649 elegance and speed and their great value and he had a 649 and their great value and he had a friendly contempt for 652 in their love-making, and happily eating the Portuguese 657 as long as the skiff and weighed a ton.

Now 671 the old man looked up and saw that the bird was circling 674 broke the surface and there was no scattering of bait 676 in the air, turned and dropped head first into the water 677 silver in the sun and after he had dropped back into 678 the water another and another rose and they were 679 and another rose and they were jumping in all 680 churning the water and leaping in long jumps after the 681 They were circling it and driving it. If they don’t travel 683 the old man thought, and he watched the school working 684 the water white and the bird now dropping and dipping 684 the bird now dropping and dipping into the bait fish that 689 a loop of the line, and he dropped his oars and felt the 690 he dropped his oars and felt the weight of the small 691 he held the line firm and commenced to haul it in. The 692 as he pulled in and he could see the blue back of the 693 the fish in the water and gold of his sides before he 694 him over the side and into the boat. He lay in the stern 695 in the sun, compact and bullet shaped, his big
699 the head for kindness and kicked him, his body still 706 in the old days and he had sung at night sometimes 710 remember. When he and the boys fished together they 714 unnecessarily at sea and the old man had always
715 considered it so and respected it. But now he said his 721 to them in their boats and to bring them the baseball

Can that be 733 were snow-capped and the clouds that looked like high 735 sea was very dark and the light made prisms in the 737 now by the high sun and it was only the great deep prisms 742 of that species tuna and only distinguished among them by 745 The sun was hot now and the old man felt in on the back of 746 the back of his neck and felt the sweat trickle down his
747 just drift, he thought, and sleep and put a bight of line 747 he thought, and sleep and put a bight of line around my toe 749 is eighty-five days and I should fish the day well. Just 752 "Yes," he said. "Yes," and shipped his oars without
753 out for the line and held it softly between the thumb 754 between the thumb and forefinger of his right hand. He 755 no strain nor weight and he held the line lightly. Then it 757 not solid nor heavy, and he knew exactly what it was 759 that covered the point and the shark of the hook where the 762 the line delicately, and softly, with his left hand
768 How fresh they are and you down there six hundred feet 770 turn in the dark and come back and eat them. He felt 770 dark and come back and eat them. He felt the light
771 light delicate pulling and then a harder pull when a 776 Eat them good now and then there is the tuna. Hard and 776 there is the tuna. Hard and cold and lovely. Don’t be shy 777 tuna. Hard and cold and lovely. Don’t be shy, fish. Eat 778 between his thumb and his finger, watching it and the 779 finger, watching it and the other lines at the same time 784 it though. He was gone and the old man felt nothing. "He 788 been hooked before and he remembers something of it 790 touch on the line and be was happy. "It was only his 793 the gentle pulling and then he felt something hard and 794 felt something hard and unbelievably heavy. It was the 795 the weight of the fish and he let line slip down, down 799 pressure of his thumb and finger were almost
802 in his mouth now and he is moving off with it," Then 803 Then he will turn and swallow it, he thought. He did 806 a huge fish this was and he thought of him moving away in 810 the weight increased and he gave more line. He tightened 811 of his thumb and finger for a moment and the 811 finger for a moment and the weight increased and was 812 the weight increased and was going straight down. "He’s 816 with his left hand and made fast the free end of the 823 goes into your heart and kills you, he thought. Come up
823 thought. Come up easy and let me put the harpoon into you 826 "Now!" he said aloud and struck hard with both hands 827 gained a yard of line and then struck again and again 827 and then struck again and again, swinging with each arm 829 strength of his arms and the pivoted weight of his body 832 moved away slowly and the old man could not raise him 833 His line was strong and made for heavy fish and he held 833 made for heavy fish and he held it against his back until 836 sound in the water and he still held it, bracing himself 837 against the thwart and leaning back against the pull 840 fish moved steadily and they traveled slowly on the 844 being towed by a fish and I’m the towing bitt. I could make 846 hold him all I can and give him line when he must have 847 God he is traveling and not going down." What I will do 850 I’ll do if he sounds and dies I don’t know. But I’ll do 853 line against his back and watched its slant in the water 854 its slant in the water and the skiff moving steadily to the 858 sea, towing the skiff, and the old man was still braced 864 he hooked the fish and it was cutting his forehead. He 865 He was thirsty too and he got down on his knees and 866 down on his knees and, being careful not to jerk on the 867 bow as he could get and reached the water bottle with 868 one hand. He opened it and drank a little. Then he rested 870 the un-stepped mast and sail and tried not to think but 870 mast and sail and tried not to think but only to 872 he looked behind him and saw that no land was visible 875 before the sun sets and maybe he will com up before 878 I have no cramps and I feel strong. It is he that has 886 the sun went down and the old man’s sweat dried cold 887 dried cold on his back and his arms and his old legss. During 888 his back an his arms and his old leggs. During the day he 889 covered the bait box and spread it in the sun to dry. After 891 down over his back and he cautiously worked it down 893 cushioned the line and he had found a way of leaning 898 do nothing with him and he can do nothing with me, he
900 up. Once he stood up and urinated over the side of the 901 the side of the skiff and looked at the stars and checked 901 looked at the stars and checked his course. The line 904 more slowly now and the glow of Havana was not so 914 the boy. To help me and to see this." No one should be 921 came around the boat and he could hear them rolling and 921 hear them rolling and blowing. He could tell the 923 noise the male made and the sighing blow of the female 924 he said. "They play and make jokes and love one another 925 play and make jokes and love one another. They are our 928 He is wonderful and strange and who knows how old 928 wonderful and strange and who knows how old he is, he 933 many time before and he knows that this is how he 936 a great fish he is and what will he bring in the market 937 the bait like a male and he pulls like a male and his fight 938 he pulls like a male and his fight has no panic in it. I 942 fish feed first and the hooked fish, the female, made 944 soon exhausted her, and all the time the male had stayed 945 her, crossing the line and circling with her on the surface 948 sharp as a scythe and almost of that size and shape 948 almost of that size and shape. When the old man had 949 man had gaffed her and clubbed her, holding the rapier 950 its sandpaper edge and clubbing her across the top of 952 backing of mirrors, and then, with the boy’s aid, hoisted 955 was clearing the lines and preparing the harpoon, the male 957 where the female was and then went down deep, his 959 fins, spread wide and all his wide lavender stripes 960 old man remembered, and he had stayed. That was the 962 The boy was sad too and we begged her pardon and 963 we begged her pardon and butchered her promptly. "I wish 964 here," he said aloud and settled himself against the 965 planks of the bow and felt the strength of the great 972 out beyond all snares and traps and treacheries. My choice 972 all snares and traps and treacheries. My choice was to go 975 are joined together and have been since noon. And no one
982 heard the stick break and the line begin to rush out over 983 his sheath knife and taking all the strain of the fish 985 he leaned bask and cut the line against the wood of 986 line closest to him and in the dark made the loose ends 988 with the one hand and put his foot on the coils to hold 991 bait he had severed and the two from the bait the fish 992 the fish had taken and they were all connected. After 994 forty-fathom bait and cut it away too and link up the 994 and cut it away too and link up the reserve coils. I will 996 good Catalan cardel and the hooks and leaders. That can 996 cardel and the hooks and leaders. That can be replaced 998 if I hook some fish and it cuts him off? I don’t know 1004 have only yourself and you had better work back to the 1005 or not in the dark, and cut it away and hook up the two 1006 dark, and cut it away and hook up the two reserve coils 1007 difficult in the dark and once the fish made a surge that 1008 him down on his face and made a cut below his eye.

He 1013 He adjusted the sack and carefully worked the line so that 1014 part of his shoulders and, holding it anchored with his 1016 the pull of the fish and then felt wit his hand the 1023 might make trouble and I have a big reserve of line; all 1028 the old man thought and he waited for it to be light.
