EXCITING FIGHT WITH A FISII.—Mr. J. Crook, of
the pleasure boat Preston, accompanied by two young
men, were out fishing on Naze Point, on the Ribble, on
Thursday last, when their attention was arrested by a vio-
lent floundering in one of the shallows in the sands, and
they at once concluded that a large salmon had been left by
the receding tide. On nearing :t, what was their astonish-
ment at finding a huge monster that displayed two for-
midable rows of teeth, and a tail that bristled all over with
spines ! Seeing its visitors, this very strange fish showed
fight at once, and seemed rather anxious to begin. The
three set upon it simultaneously with their spiked rakes and
stabbed it repeatedly. After an exciting struggle they at
length exhausted the creature and transfixed it with their
prongs. With great difficulty they at last got it into the
boat. Some fishermen who had seen the " fight" from a
distance now came up, and ono of them informed the vic-
tors that they had captured a " sharp-nosed" skate, one of
the three varieties of that fish. This is the first skate ever
known to have been caught in the Ribble. Its length is sft.,
breadth 3ft. 9in., and weight about 601 b. It was brought
to Mr. Crooks's, Preston.
