The River, The Delta, And the Sea‪.‬

The remnants of the ship-yard interested us so much that we made the slough our headquarters for some days while we explored the estuary and our other surroundings, and my partner, who was an inveterate fisherman, found that the waters thereabouts were infested by great numbers of large, unattractive-looking fish, which appeared to be attracted by bacon-rind and other food-scraps, so he spent much time catching far more than we had any possible use for and no more Indians turned up to whom we might give them. Their flesh was toothsome and satisfying, but they were unpleasant to look upon and appeared to be dull and unintelligent. --Godfrey Sykes, A Westerly Trend, 1945
