The reader is introduced to the marlin because Santiago sees one of the projecting sticks dip in the water (B).
In <em>The Old Man and the Sea</em>, the main character becomes aware of the presence of the marlin when he realizes something is tugging at his hundred-fathom-deep fishing line. Because of the strength of the bite, the stick to which the line is attached is pulled into the water. Santiago immediately recognizes the fish as being a large marlin.
This answer is just how I interpret it, the rest is - of course - up to you. The figurative meanings I can't quite guess, but I'll give you what I can make out.
Word 1: Promontory
Word 2: Diminishes
Promontory, Meaning: <em>Promontory </em>means a high piece of land such as a cliff or overhang on a mountain.
Diminishes, Meaning: <em>Diminishes </em>means to slowly fade away and vanish. His figurative meaning using <em>diminishes </em>here: '...Diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind;...'. 'Diminishes me...' Means he's fading away metaphorically, not physically.
