lows mile fish of the same species, measuring 16
feet in length. It broke the neta of the men in
trying to make its escape, and after it was dragged
on the beach knoeitfxl down two of them with ita
tail, , The fishermen attribute their small amount
of emcees during the preomt nuickerel season to the
