"Why don't you chaps stand away from the light?

Look out, boys, look out! Here he comes." "Catch him in the net, Bob," I shouted.

"Here he is, Bob!" we shouted; and, as we finished the struggle which resulted in our getting the eel into one of the nets, and then out on the open rocks, and in a position to make it cease its writhings, Bob Chowne backed out to look on and help us gloat over our capture, which proved to be a plump young conger of a yard long.
