A Bath in the Sound It was on a fishing trip in the Puget Sound, Washington, that I was to experience defeat. We were going along in our motor boat, my uncle and I, when my line started to pull in what I thought was a small salmon. All of a sudden it jumped out of the water, and to my amazement I saw that it was at least two feet long. Suddenly there was a jerk on the line and overboard I went. I was so frightened I couldn ' t let go of the line, and the salmon pulled me away from the boat. I looked back to see that I was about fifty feet from the craft. Realizing my danger, I let go of the line just as the salmon started to descend to the black depth of the Sound. Meanwhile my uncle had started to my rescue. In record time, sputtering and spouting, looking more like a drowned rat than a swanky fisherman, I was pulled back into the boat, but that salmon had put an end to our fishing trip for that day.
