1 The village water supply was two streets down the road.
2 The water was a dark blue now, so dark that it was almost purple.
3 I must have water here for him, the boy thought, and soap and a good towel.
4 He had a bottle of water in the bow of the skiff and that was all he needed for the day.
5 He looked down into the water and watched the lines that went straight down into the dark of the water.
6 He went back to rowing and to watching the long-winged black bird who was working, now, low over the water.
7 Then he dove suddenly and the old man saw flying fish spurt out of the water and sail desperately over the surface.
8 The old man could see the slight bulge in the water that the big dolphin raised as they followed the escaping fish.
9 As he looked down into it he saw the red sifting of the plankton in the dark water and the strange light the sun made now.
10 The second was at seventy-five and the third and fourth were down in the blue water at one hundred and one hundred and twenty-five fathoms.
11 The dolphin were cutting through the water below the flight of the fish and would be in the water, driving at speed, when the fish dropped.
12 The sun rose thinly from the sea and the old man could see the other boats, low on the water and well in toward the shore, spread out across the current.
13 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.
14 Then the sun was brighter and the glare came on the water and then, as it rose clear, the flat sea sent it back at his eyes so that it hurt sharply and he rowed without looking into it.
15 In the dark the old man could feel the morning coming and as he rowed he heard the trembling sound as flying fish left the water and the hissing that their stiff set wings made as they soared away in the darkness.
16 The boy was back now with the sardines and the two baits wrapped in a newspaper and they went down the trail to the skiff, feeling the pebbled sand under their feet, and lifted the skiff and slid her into the water.
17 He saw the phosphorescence of the Gulf weed in the water as he rowed over the part of the ocean that the fishermen called the great well because there was a sudden deep of seven hundred fathoms where all sorts of fish congregated because of the swirl the current made against the steep walls of the floor of the ocean.
