Exciting Capture OF . Saw Ash.
Galveston Letter 10 the st. Louis Globe
Democrat


christmas bay" is lagoOn-llke
sheet of water some thirty miles TO the
westward Of this city, through which
the waters Of the Gulf Of Mexico ebb
and flow by several narrow passes.
The place is much frequented by the
Greek and Sicilian fishermen, who sup
ply this market with brain-food, and
the ordinary catch Of reddish, sea
trout, sheepshead, and founders is
sometimes supplemented by the cap
ture Of some yagrant sea monster
which has wandered into the shallow
waters Of the lagoOn-in no place more
than seven feet in depth-and has besn
apparently unable to find its way back
to the gulf. An episode of this de-
scripton transpired yesterday, when the
captain Of the tishing-smack Hercules
Nicholas Radanovich-with three OF his
men were engaged in making cast OF
their seine, which is some COO feet IN
length. The men on beginning to
pull and haul the net ashore dis
covered commoton in the water with
in the space surrounded by the floating
seine. which was soon increased. and
they saw tremendous fish plunglng
about in the net in very lively style.
The monster. in attempting to break
through the seine, became entaugled IN
the lead line. which became wound
round and round" its body until the
fishermen succeeded in drawing it into
shallow water, where it was discovered
to be an immense sawfsh. Captain
Radanovich rushed into the lagoon up
to his waist for the purpose OF securing
the captive, when he received blow
from its saw that cut his thigh
open. and which will incapacitate
him for duty for several weeks.
The fish was finally secured alive,
and towsd to the city astern OF the
smack in spite of its struggles, and was
anchored in the bay at Kuhn's wharf
this morning, where it was viewed by
hundreds Of curious people. Your cor
respondent viewed the monster and
found it to be tho largest specimen OF
its species ever captured on this coast,
measuring twenty-five and & half feet
from tip to tip, of which length the saw
measured FIVE and half feet. The
reference books describe the saw
fish al cartilsgsnous fish of the genus
pri,tps, the type of family inter-
mediate in position between the sharks
and rays, although generally ranked
/ with the latter. 1t has the elongated
and rounded form Of the shark, with
the mouth and gill opening on the ven
trail surface, as in rays. Its distln-
gushing character is the long, Hat
tened, narrow, and straight snout, set
on the sides with teeth or long spine',
forming a double-edged saw-like wea-
pom, whence the common name. The
average length Of the common species
is from twelve TO fifteen feet. The
capture of yesterday will be skinned,
stuffed, and placed on exhibition.

An attempt is about to be made to
settle the yexed question as to whether
the bones Of Columbus rest in Cuba or
San Domingo. In 1877 it was an
nounced that the people Of San Do
mingo had discovered that the bones
supposed TO be those of Columbus,
which had been conveyed to Havana
with great pomp, were spurious bones,
and that the genuine bones still lay
in Dominican soil. With the view of
settling this point in dispute. the Gov
eminent of San Domingo has invited a
large number Of savants to attend an
international congress, which will open
in the capital of that republic on the
10th of September next. The Govern
ment will submit to the judgment Of
this congress its proofs that San Do
mingo possesses the only real bones Of
Columbus in existence.
