u In so-le parts Of the ocean there are
enormous sea animals, cafcd Scpia, which are
kind Of polypi, They have very long legs,
and are said sometimes to seize upon the coral
divers along the coast of Italy Mr. Bcae tells
the following adventure with creature of
! this sort:
"WIilc upon the Bouin Islands, searching
for shells on the rocks which had jus: been
left by the receding tide, | was much astonished
| at seeing ut my feet a most extraordinary look
ing animal, crawling toward the retrcating surf.
I had never seen one like it before. 1t was
creeping on its eight legs, which, from their
soft and flexible nature, bent considerably un-
der the weight Of its body, SO that it was lift
ed by the efforts Of its tentacuIo only small
distance from the rocks.
"lt appeared much alarmed on seeing me,
and made every effort to escape, while | was
not much In the humor to endeavor to capture
so ugly customer, whose appearance excited
feeling OF disgust, not unmixed with fear.
l,however, endeayored to prevent its escape, by
pressing on one OF its legs with my foot; but,
although | used considerable force for that pur-
pose, its strength was so great that it several
times quickly liberated its member in spite of
all the efforts Icould employ in this way on
wet, slippery rocks. Inow laid hold of one of
the tcntaces with my hand, ,-and held it firmly,
so that the limb appeared as if it would be torn
asunder by our united strength. | gave it q
powerful jerk, wishing to disengage it from the
rocks to which it clung so forcibly by its suck
ers, which it etfectually resisted; but the mo-
ment after, the apparently enraged animal lift
ed its head, with its large eyes projecting from
the middle of its body, and letting go its hold
OF the rocks, suddenly sprang upon my arm,
which had previously barred to my shoulder
for the purpose Of thrusting it into the holes
i'll the rocks to discover shells, and clung, with
its suckers, to it with great power, endeavoring
to get its beak, which could now see between
the roots of his arms in position to bite.
ga sensation Of horror peryaded my whole
frame, whenI found this monstrous animal, for
it was about four feet long, fixed so firmly to
my arm. It's cold Shiny grasp was extremely
sckening, and Immediately called aloud to the
captain, who was also searching for shells at
some distance, to come and release me from
my disgusting assaiant He quickly arrived,
aud taking me downto the boat during which
time was employed in keeping the beak
away from my hand, quickly released me by
destroying my tormentor with the boat knife,
when disengaged it by portions at a time.
This anima! was the species of Sepia which is
called by whalers, crock squid." Thus are
these remarkable creatures, from the different
adaptation Of their tentacles and notifications
of their bodies, capable of sailing, flying, swim
ming and creeping on the shore, while their
senses, if we may judge from the elaborate
mechanism ofther organs, must possess cores
pondlng acuteness and perfection"
