Alfred rigged up the rods, and baiting a hook directed Betty to throw her line well out into the current and let it float down into the eddy.

She complied, and hardly had the line reached the circle of the eddy, where bits of white foam floated round and round, when there was a slight splash, a scream from Betty and she was standing up in the canoe holding tightly to her rod.
"Be careful!" exclaimed Alfred.

"Sit down.

You will have the canoe upset in a moment.

Hold your rod steady and keep the line taut.
That's right.
