Chapter 1 #61 - 65

61)  “Let us take the stuff home,” the boy said.   “So I can get the cast net and go after the sardines.”
62)  They picked up the gear from the boat.
63)  The old man carried the mast on his shoulder  and  the boy carried the wooden boat with the coiled,  hard-braided brown lines,  the gaff  and  the harpoon with its shaft.
64)  The box with the baits was under the stern of the skiff along with the club that was used to subdue the big fish  when they were brought alongside.
65)  No one would steal from the old man  but  it was better to take the sail and the heavy lines home as the dew was bad for them  and, though he was quite sure no local people would steal from him, the old man thought that a gaff and a harpoon were needless temptations to leave in a boat.　

and go after the sardines.     このgo after　というのも、変わった表現である
Let us take the stuff home     この表現も上手い言い方である

gearは「歯車」という意味の他に、生活用具、道具という意味があるのだなあ。
