5 When the fish had been hit it was as though he himself were hit.
6 He hit it without hope but with resolution and complete malignancy.
7 He hit only meat and the hide was set hard and he barely got the knife in.
8 He hit it with his blood mushed hands driving a good harpoon with all his strength.
9 The old man let him hit the fish and then drove the knife on the oar down into his brain.
10 He swung at him and hit only the head and the shark looked at him and wrenched the meat loose.
11 The fish hit the wire several times more and each time he shook his head the old man gave up a little line.
