Now the sardine hunt developed As they glimpsed beneath the surface Flashing rays of gold and silver Of the dolphins and the swordfish That converged with blue-fin tuna To the swarming sardine banquet Then not fifty paces distant Rising from the ocean darkness Open mouthed, a humpback surfaced Gulping a colossal volume Of the sardine-teeming water Then to shrouded deep returning Lisa and her brother Matto Cried aloud with joy and wonder Looking all around their vessel For another rising titan Till their boat was jolted sharply Flinging hard against the gunwales Han and both the children as their Craft was lifted from the water As a whale's emerging forehead Raised them up and tipped them over Pitching out into the ocean Fisherman and son and daughter And their boat, its hull inverted Settled down into the sea foam Han and Lisa swam together To the boat and hold its timbers Which they clung to as they waited Rescue from the shipwright’s vessel Matto had been flung out further And they watched him swim toward them Struggling through the foam-flecked sea swells As the boat of Tor came nearer But a much more grave disaster Was about to come upon them As beneath the swimming boy there Formed a swift upwelling darkness And before the shocked onlookers Breached a widely gaping humpback With its jaws surrounding Matto As the monstrous throat of baleen Swallowed up the sea around him And he sank into the maelstrom So the humpback swallowed Matto!
