Kino and Juana Go Fishing

Kino and Juana go to the beach where Kino's canoe, inherited from his grandfather, is drawn up. Juana applies a seaweed poultice to Coyotito's swollen shoulder. They launch the canoe and paddle out to the oyster bed. Kino dives for oysters, while Juana prays for a pearl to pay for the doctor. The Song of the Pearl That Might Be plays in Kino's mind.
