THE EEL AND THE ANCHOR.—A curious but not
a very uncommon discovery was made in Hamoaze last week. The
moorings lately occupied by the Actaeon, 26, off St. Jelin's Leke were
examined for the purpose of repairing their defects, when, on heav-
ing up the anchor, a small hole was perceived in the stock on the
surface, which on a close inspection was seen to be tenanted. The
anchor was brought on shore for inspection, and on driving off the
hoops and taking the stock apart, out came a fine black congor eel,
above four feet in length, and weighing above ten pounds. lie must
have entered when very young, as the hole on the outside would not
admit one-half his size, and although he could not turn in his house,
yet he must by some means have lived well as lie was remarkably tiro
and fat.
The idle and injudicious prosecution in the Royal
Court of Guernsey of the Governor by a jurat is still proceeding,
though the Crown officers refuse to have anything to do with it.
They rightly urged the absurdity of the Court's entering upon a
matter in which their decision, if unfavourable, could not be acted
upon,—Jersey Zil" March 7.
