An Old Distinguished Resident OF the
Pacific Coast ON a Pleasure Tour
Through the United States.
We yesterday met a prominent member of
venerable old seaman, who has been engag-
cd for the last twenty-five years in the
pearl-oystsr and fishery business, on The
west coas and having amassel prineely
fortune takes, in our opinion, a very SEN
sible view Of life, and, with his family, is
visiting all the principal points of interest
between San Francisco and New York
There is something very romnstis IN the
old gentleman's history. Cast adrift when
very young in fact, born upon the very
shores Of the Pacific. he grew up, with an
ardent desire 10 follow the sea for an exist
tence. In few years, after becoming an
alel in the art Of diving, hswould frequent.
~ hake excursions to the bottom Of III o.
cean for oysters, in which the costly and
elegant pearl wore wont to nestle, without
any other protecting armour than that which
was furniEhed by nature, and often, while
making these perilious voyages, was SAVAGE
ly attacked by that pirate Of the ocean, the
blood thirsty shark. and the numerous deep
and jagged scars which he will always carry
bear testimony TO the desperate nature of
these bloody and sanguinary encounters.
He has been to tho bottom of the ocean over
FIVE thousand times, and very frequently
has been accompanied by his ife and childr-
en-. They never yet nave US ed the d.

wife and chileren have accompanied him 60
often in his diving excursions that they are
nearly proficient as L inns ,lf in searching for
the treasures Of the deep sea- There is one
thing very remarkable about this Wonder,
full family. and that is their extraordinary
appetite for fresh fish, preferrng it at all
times 10 the choicest morsels Of meat and il
is said that thi old gentleman will consume
several pounds at single meal when right
hungry, and The rest OF the family are yorac

ed from sscia'y that lhey have lost the use of
the English language entirely. and make
their wants known. through en- interpreter
who accompanies them always. The mark =
els are secured daily in search OF the ehoic-
est fish, and should their interpreter fail in
procuring the daily quantity consumed by
them, they manifest their dissatlsfseti ton in
burst o: anger terrible to witness. The
above would seam to SAVIOR pretty
strongly Of fish, but if any one has any
doubts about the truth ofihe story, .et hi \

to Woodstock on Saturday, September, 14th
and he will see the old monster sea-lion,
his wife and two children, aud he will be
convinced that the above is no idle tale of
fiction, but o truthful representative of the
sea-lion.
