VORACITY OP A C9D.—Asa fishing boat belonging to
Barra was lately putting out to sea the men picked up a
dead lamb,. and having skinned it threw the akin into
the sea. They then proceeded, with a smart breeze right
aft, out into the Atlantic, till they lost sight of land.
Basing at length reached the fishing place they dropt
their lines. The first fish taken up was a large cod, whose
belly wee distended to such an extraordinary size as to
excite the enrioaity of the crew. Thty cut open the fish,
and to their astonishment found in it the self-same skin,
wool and ail entire, which they had thrown overb )ard in
the morning atter leaving the shore.—lnverness Courier.
