Sea serpent Capt. Knowles Of the ship
Gold Hunter, arrived at N. York on Thurs
day, saw on the 25th Dec. in lat ~ 3O,
long. 63, a sea snake, of which he gives
the following description
Ii was within or ) yards OF the vessei,
appeared to be 80 or 90 feet long, It's mead
about the size Of bullock's, withous the
horns the circumference OF the body was
about equal TO that of barrel, tapering 10
the tail to about the thickness OF top
mast, and smooth il was rounded at tne
end and destitute of fms. 1t remained Tor
about 40 minutes TO the windward OF The
vessel. with its head and tail out Of water,
and the BODY in two or three coils, appar-
emily preparing TO dart at the vessel, wheh
was every moment expected. lthad been
blowing a gale from s. :. w, and the ship
was scudding at the rate of nine knots,
AT four p. NJ. the wind suddenly shifted
when the ship wore to the southwark
From the circumstance of the serpent's not
being seen until the ship wore round, II rs
supposed il had followed the ship during
the gale. When first seen its head was
elevated about six feet out OF water, and
directed towards the bow of the vessel
Night coming on, il was lost sight OF. It's
color was black.
The Norfolk Herald Of the 9th, says that
sch. painted black, of IS or 50 tons bur
then, is ashore between the north end Of
Smiths Island and the Sand Shoals. II
was understood, from two boats from Cape
Charles, which went TO the assistance OF
said schooner, that all hands were frozen
to death on board
