As fast as we hooked a net the two ends of it, buoy and boat, came together as they dragged out astern; and so many buoys and boats, coming together at such breakneck speed, kept the fishermen on the jump to avoid smashing into one another.

We now resolved to let off enough gas to bring our guide-rope, with the buoys affixed, into the water.
