A monster devil fish was caught
under the New York steamship wharf
on Monday afternoon. He bad in
some way got under but was unable
TO lind his way out from among the
plling. Some mcn at work upon the
wharf heard the splashing which he
made and fired several shots at him.
but rs they seemed TO have no effect,
harpoon was obtained and his
capture effected. fifteen men being re-
guired 10 tow him TO the shore. The
blood which escaped from him colored
the water for about ten feet on either
side. He was sixteen feet in width
and fifteen in length His fins were
about four feet long, and his tail about
the same length, and not much larger
than persons finger. His mouth
opened to the width of two feet and
was eighteen inches in length, and
projecting from each side of it was
fecler about one foot wide and two
feet long, which be rolled up and un-
rolled at will. So far as can be
ascertained, there has been onIv one
Of these singular fish caught in this
