"On the 20th of June la|,

serpent of an enormous fi^e;
swimming on the furface of tie

of water, I judged to be about
the fizeof a-barrel, in circumg,

some fefemblance ofa horfe^.
According to the most accurate
computation which I made in
my mind of his length, I thirik
it could not be less than froty
55 to 60 feet, and perhaps loti
ger. 5 That part of the body
which was not elevated, but
which I had a djftindt view sev

part out of water. The body

is to observe clearly that there 1
were no fins or external ap
pendages to the body ; but t
£hat its motion was by the<
writhing of the body, like other'
serpents. During the time it
was with us, several flocks of,
Tnrds fiew near, which it eyed 1
very narrowly. I observed in it 1
'thegreateft agility and quickness i
of motion."
There is no doubt but this is
one of the two which have been <;
fecn in these parts. All ac
frfints agree, refpedfing their
%zc and appearance. Two of

once seen on the shore of the
Cramberry islands, but immedi
ately took to the water on being
difeovered. These are the firfl
ever seen in our seas, that we
have any account of, though
they have been seen on the coast
ofNorway, more than 100 feet
