Quotation from: Tales of the Fish Patrol

Written by: Jack London


Just then I heard a scarcely audible gurgle of water, and holding
up my hand for silence, I turned and pointed to a ripple slowly
widening out in a growing circle. It was not more than fifty feet
from us. We kept perfectly quiet and waited. After a minute the
water broke six feet away, and a black head and white shoulder
showed in the moonlight. With a snort of surprise and of suddenly
expelled breath, the head and shoulder went down.


We pulled ahead several strokes and drifted with the current. Four
pairs of eyes searched the surface of the water, but never another
ripple showed, and never another glimpse did we catch of the black
head and white shoulder.
