tuition of Grayson county at the time he

think, about twenty feet OF his body on
the surface. They commenced to row
rapidly for the shore, which evidently
aroused the serpent, who went under the
water a minute and came TO the surface
again In apparently almost an upright po-
sition, his head coming out and perhaps
six feet Of the body. He made no noise
and didn't desire 10 come any closer to
the boat, but, on the contrary,
started for the open sea. After
going well out the creature seemed
to change It's purpose and came back, but
not SO rapidly as 1t went out. A sailor
or fisherman named Sullivan says he
saw the same serpent Sunday afternoon,
and the head appeared to him to be about
five or six feet In length before the neck
was reached. Sullivan says the snake
seemed TO be very timld, and couldn't
have been overtaken, as IL moved through
the water with great rapidity. lie saw
the creature near the spot where Mr..
Costello and party saw It few hours
later. The captain OF a fishing vessel,
who declined to give his name, because,
as he said, al don't want TO be thought
insane" tells the following story
"About month ago was beating into
port one bright moonlight night, when /
noticed about three boat lengths from
the schooner round log-li body rest
ing on the waves, and rising and falling
in the swell. called to my brother, who
saw, the same object distinctly We ran
close to it and actually surged against
II when great black snakes
head came up from the surface and pair
of big eyes looked at us. Jim--that's
my brother-called out to me that we
would be swallowed alive, but the snake
looked at us and then went slowly down,
being that big that he made the schooner
rock as If in storm, In a little while
after we saw him on the top of the water.
His head was well up over the rail when
he came up tots time, so | tolo Jim that
maybe we might capture it, but Jim said
he hadn't lost no snake that he knowed
Of, and he'd be hanged If he'd hunt for
that one."
