THE LATEST FISH STORY.

A Whale Towing Four Fishermen's Boat
with Astonishing Rapidiiy.
LONG BRANCH, Dec. LIN the
past three months whales have
often been seen spouting off our
coast, and the scarcity of small fish
has been attributed to their pres
ence. On Friday last three large
ones were seen three or four miles
out. On Saturday morning Capt.
Wise of the American Hotel, Sam
Maclain, Daniel Wright and Mar
tin Dangler-the three latter old
shermen--started out fishing in a
boat about twenty feet long. They
had arrived on the fishing grounds
about three miles from the shore,
bad all their lines out, and were
having splendid luck hauling in
Goldfish. Then Wright saw the fin
of a monstrous fish, and immed-
lately the boat began to swing
around. Wright shouted to the
men in another boat, about 10C
yards distant: "Look out, there is
a whale hold of u.s." but before the
men could move from their seats
they were being towed out to sea at
the rate of twenty-five miles an
hour. The monster had become en-
tangled in the long anchor rope ol
the boat. The pull on the boal
was so strong the men thought the
boat must go over every second
The men say they were very much
frightened, and the sensation was
the queerest they had ever known
All they could do was to hold OIL
and let her 60 for few minutes
Then they crept forward and Gu
the rope. They were mile further
out to sea. The fish kept right on
and they could see the wake hi
made for some distance, as hi
kept very near the surface. Th'
rope was a stout half-inch manili
one, and attached to it was an an
chor of about twenty pounds weight
The fishermen here think thu
monster was after the Goldfish, ant
that he came up to the anchor lin
with his mouth open and got th'
rope in his mouth. AS soon as h.
felt it he closed his mouth ant
swan off, towing the boat after hin
so fast that the Goldfish lines tha
were hanging over the boat pulle,
straight out on the surface, and tn
heavy sinkers, weighing poun,
or more apiece, were on the top o
the water.
