Oliver took charge of one, I of the other.  They had not been in the water two minutes when Oliver cried out, "Hurrah, I've hooked a fish!" He was hauling in his line, when two more were seen skipping along on the surface, glittering in the sunlight.  At the same time I felt several tugs at my line, and on hauling it in I found that I had four fish on--long, elegantly shaped fish they were, with blue grey backs and white bellies.  In half an hour we had caught two dozen--more than enough for all hands for supper and breakfast.
