There is a fish story very charmingly
told in verse by Mr. , Innis Randolph.
An old negro fisherman suweeded in
hooking a drum of huge size, the other
end of his line being fastened for secu
rityl to his ankle. Ho was pulled into
the l water, and after a terrible struggle
beneath the brine, both he and the fish
were drowned. The moral of the story
ts as follows: - - -
"They were washed ashore by the heaving
tide,
And the fishermen found them side by side,
lik common death, and:together bound
By the Mae that • circled them round lad
rand,
So looped and tangled together.
That' their fate was involved in • a dark toys-
• tery
•
As to which was the catcher and which the
catches;
For the fish was hooked had and fast by the
-
gill
And the dark/3 was lassoed around the heel,
And each had died by the other. .
And the fishermen said it could never be
known,
For VI their thinking and figuring ?
Whether that nigger • fishing had gone:
Or the fish had gone out a Wagering."
