Just then he saw a man-of-war bird that with his long black wings circling in
the sky ahead of him. He made a quick drop, slanting down on his backswept
wings , and then circled again.
"He''s got something," the old man said aloud. "He's not just looking."
He rowed slowly and steadily toward where the bird was circling. He did not
hurry and he kept the lines straight up and down. But he was crowed the current
a little so that he was still fishing correctly though faster than he would have fished
if he was not trying to use the bird.
The bird went highter in the air and circled again, his wings motionless. Then he
dove suddenly and the old man saw flying fish spurt out of the water and sail
desperately over the surface.
"Dolphin," the old man said aloud. "Big dolphin."
He shipped his oars and brought a small line from under the bow. It had a wire
leader and a medium sized hook and he baited it with one of the sardines. He let
it go over the side and then made it fast to a ring bolt in the stern. Then he baited
another line and let it coiled in the shade of the bow. He went back to rowing and
to watching the long-winged black bird who was working, now ,low over the water.
As he watched the bird dipped again slanting his wings for the dive and swinging
them wildly and ineffectually as he followed the flying fish. The old man could see
the slight bulge in the water that the big dolphin raised as they followed the escaping
fish.
