The investigating partyreturned with innumerablesmall barracouta, whichthey scorned, but with wild,unbelievable tales of greatschools of tarpon. Theirdescriptions of tarpon jump-ing all about were so vividthat it was only necessary toshut ones eyes and listen tothe splash. The partyclaimed twelve tarponstrikes in an hour.
