Capt. 4. \. Smith Of the schooner
f. H. Hartman, which arrived at
New York some days ago, after a
twtlveSlays' voyage from Nuevitas,
reports that the vessel met the gcnu-
inc sea serpent on the fourth day out
The captain tells the following story
of the meeting With the great marine
monster: an latitude 81 deg. 10 sec,
longitude Il deg. 80 soc, | saw what
at first | thought to be II school of
whales, but by close observation
knew that it was some other great
thing. 1t was coming toward Us
without spOuting and with more than
railroad speed. It. ..'e up from lee
ward, and a. soon a. it got within
half II mile of Us it sank and again
made its appearance two miles to
windward. now discovered that it
was u sea serpent with three very
large Jumps on its back, each being
about seventy-liVe feet apart. The
whole serpent must have seen at
least three hundred feet long, of Il
black color, and is doubtless what so
many sea captains have reported to
be an Island in the Gulf stream. |
now believe in the sea serpent. 1t
may look like fish story, but it was
certainly more than three hundred
feet long. Wonderful things are in
the Bible, and also in the sea, but this
is as great a wonder as | have ever
seen. The schooner E. II. Hiraman
also encountered on the second day
out two Water-spouts halfa mile apart
They were funnel-shaped and swept
along at terrific pace. They passed
within a quarter of mite Of the
schooner, and soon disappeared below
the horizOn.n
