gamed George and Josoph Stone, of Wyke. bad the
misfortune to "oatch • Tartar" in tbrir rot,.
fising off the Chrail 13eacb. It dished and doundeted
abaut, and made sad havoc, but at last they sueceedrd
in "gatßing" it, and bruising it to land. It turned out
to be a "thresher," and when measured was found to
be 14 feet long, and weighed 2 cut. 3111. It has tor
ventral tins, the tip of the two foremost being 3 het
2 inches apart, and a high erect dorsal lin, which gives
it rather a shark.like appearance. The tail is about five
feet long and tapers off to the end. It was exhibited in
• tent at the opening of the Esplanade ; but natural
history seemed at • disoount, and we fear the r-r
lidirrnien ;scarcely recouped themselves for the dan..r,;e
to their nets.
