"Chiistmas Bay is a lagoon-like sheet Of water
thirty miles to the westward Of this city. through

quented by the Greek and Sicllian fishermen who
supply this market with brain food. and the ordinary

of the lagoonn no place more than seven feet
in depth and has been apparently unable to lind its

transpired yesterday when the captain Of the fishing
smack Hercules Nicholas Radanovich-with three OF
h,s engaged in making cast OF their seine,
which is some 800 feet in length. The men on be-
ginning to pull and haul" the net ashore discovered
a cOmmoton In the water within the space surrounded
by the floating seine. which was soon increased and
