marlin

The dedication of State Department diplomats such as Marlin Hardinger—on his fourth year in Lashkar Gah—is breathtaking.

The fish resembled a small marlin in shape, but it looked as if its sides had been painted by an abstract artist.

Jordde suddenly seized up a marlin pin, raised it, and shouted at Urson, "Get down below before I break your skull open."

Jordde's marlin made an inch of splinters in the length of wood against which he had been leaning.

It was a fierce effort to free the hook, a leap not beautiful and graceful, like that of the Marlin, but magnificent and dogged.

We had learned the last few days that broadbills will strike when not on the surface, just as Marlin swordfish do.
