1 He cut the rope then and went astern to noose the tail.
2 The rope was short as it lacked what he had cut away to lash the fish.
3 Now I must prepare the nooses and the rope to lash him alongside, he thought.
4 He prepared the harpoon and made the rope fast while he watched the shark come on.
5 He took my harpoon too and all the rope, he thought, and now my fish bleeds again and there will be others.
6 He had rigged his harpoon long before and its coil of light rope was in a round basket and the end was made fast to the bitt in the bow.
7 The shark swung over and the old man saw his eye was not alive and then he swung over once again, wrapping himself in two loops of the rope.
8 The water was white where his tail beat it and three-quarters of his body was clear above the water when the rope came taut, shivered, and then snapped.
9 He fitted the rope lashings of the oars onto the thole pins and, leaning forward against the thrust of the blades in the water, he began to row out of the harbour in the dark.
10 But he untied the harpoon rope from the bitt, passed it through the fish's gills and out his jaws, made a turn around his sword then passed the rope through the other gill, made another turn around the bill and knotted the double rope and made it fast to the bitt in the bow.
