and succeeded in striking the reptile.
The instant the blow was given the
monster plunged his head under water
and raised its body abova throwing 1t
on the end Of the boat 1t was quickly
drawn over and across the boat, nearly
capsising 1t in its passage. The object
then disappeared under water.
The head was of mottled green and
looked something like the shell OF tur-
tie. Its body was black. enoircled with
rings of dirty yellow color. The men
aver that its length was fully thirty
feet as the head was about twelve feet
from the boat when they made attack
upon it, and in drawing its body over
the boat it displayed at least twenty
feet. 1t appeared to be about six
inches in diameter. Both men were
armed with revolvers, which they
discharged repeatedly at the place
