On the 85 day Santiago goes out further and hooks a giant marlin that pulls him through the ocean for 2 days. On the 3rd day the fish tires and Santiago is finally able to pull it in and slays it with a harpoon. He is beat up from the fishing line but knows that this giant fish will bring him a great deal of money, even if the ones who eat it aren't worthy. The fish leaves blood trails in the water and sharks come to attack. Santiago tries to fight them off but is unable to and by the time he returns home he only has a skeleton left to show of the fish. He goes to bed. While he is asleep the townspeople see the skeleton and mistake it for a shark. The boy comes and is happy to find Santiago asleep in his bed. He brings him coffee and the paper.
