Explore "Captain Chap" by Frank R. Stockton on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Captain Chap and Treasurer Phœnix had a very good time fishing, and before long they had caught many more fish than they thought would be needed for that night's supper. They were not at all sure that everything they had taken was good to eat, but they thought that Adam would be able to pick out of the catch enough for a meal. They had no blue-fish or bass, for this was not a part of the river where these were to be found, nor did Chap have an opportunity to exercise his strength in hauling in another powerful cavalio.
After a time Chap wound up his line.
