As the sun sets on Sauntiago he remembers arm wrestling with the negro from Cienfuegos. How long did the two of them arm wrestle in thr tavern ay Casa lanca
The two men arm wrestled for one day and one night.
As the sun set he remembered, to give himself more confidence, the time in the tavern at Casablanca when he had played the hand game with the great negro from Cienfuegos who was the strongest man on the docks. They had gone one day and one night with their elbows on a chalk line on the table and their forearms straight up and their hands gripped tight.
