A WONDERFUL STORY.

A MOST extraordinary event has oc-
IA Cured at Oban, which 1 give in
detail, having been witness to the whole
affair. 1 allude to the stranding and cap
ture of the veritaDle sea serpent in front
of the Caledonian Hotel, George street,
Oban. About four o'clock an animal or
fish, evidently, of gigantic size, was
seen sporting in the bay near Heather
Island. Its appearance evidently per-
picked large number of spectators as
sembled on the pier, and several tele-
scopes were directed toward it. A care
full look satisfied us that it was of the
serpent species, it carrying its head fully
twenty-five feet above water. A num-
Der of boats were soon launched and
proceeded to the bay, the crews armed
with such weapons as could be got
handy.
Under the directions of Malcolm
Nicholson,our boatman, they headed the
monster, and some of the boats were
within thirty yards of it when it sud
denly sprang half length out of water
and made for the open boat.
A random fire from several volunteers
with rifles seemed to have no effect upon
1t. Under Mr.. Nicholson's orders the
boats now ranged across the entrance of
the bay, and by the screams and shouts
turned the monsters course, and it
headed directly for the breast wall of the
Great Western Hotel.
One boat, containing Mr.. Donald
Campbell, the Fiscal, had most mar
row escape, the animal actually rubbing
against it. Mr.. Campbell and his broth
or jumped overheard, and were picked
up unhurt by M. John ID. Harpie in his
small yacht, the Flying Scud.
The animal seemed thoroughly fright
ened, and as the boats closed in the vol
unteers were unable to fire more, owing
to the crowds assembled on the Shore,
AT "a little past six the monster took the
ground on the beach in front of the
