Two wheeling dVntlSmsn's Experience on

Two wheeling GVntlOmen's Experience on
the New Jersey Coast.
Messrs, Matt H, McNabb and Charles
Feinler returned yesterday from a ten
days pleasure trip In the East. They
visited New York, Philadelphia, Allan,
tic City and Washington, and had a
glorious and not uneyenttul time.
While at Atlantic City they went out
with a number Of others in the sloop
yacht Neptune" Samuel Gale, captain,
for a pleasure trip. The day was a per-
feet one and barring the sea,siCkness
which several, including these two
Wheeling gentlemen, experienced, there
was nothing 10 interfere with or mar the
pleasure Of the occasion till the yacht
Collided with some horrible looking sea
monster, the appearance OF which up.
palled all on board. The Philadelphia
Press Of the next day (Thursday) con-
tanned the following account OF the up.
pearance Of and collision with the mon.
ster:
Captain Gale tells the story Of what
happened In this way, and he is borne
out by everyone who was on the boat:
"We were about q mile from the sea
buoy, when q monster fish, or whatever
1t might be called, came up Just ahead OF
us, l was at the wheel and had not time
TO change the course Of the Neptune. In
less than forty seconds we struck it
with full force. The great fish sank out
OF sight and we rode on. 1t made the
timbers OF my boat shiyer, and some OF
those on board were frightened. Ten
minutes later, while I was making a
lacking turn, we met the mysterious fish
again and;again II struck US, / triedth then
to catch hold Of 1t, using a skid; that can
be thrown something Ike a small har-
poon. 1t evidently reached II, but with
out effect. Tho monster simply turned
lazily In the ocean and was under water
and out OF sight for some minutes. Twice
afterwards before we recrossed the bar
we ran across 1t. II had a big brown
looking head, with large protruding eyes,
and | should judge would weigh 1900 TO
1900 pounds. II was about six feet in
length and was very broad. / have never
seen anything like 1t 1t in the fifteen
years l have handled the Neptune. /
don't believe in sea serpents, but Idon't
want to meet this monster again.
Mr.. McNabb gives a very vivid de-
sCription Of the thing, whatever It was.
Like Captain Gale, he don't want to
meet II again. It's eyes, he says, were
the most horrible ieat1re'about 1t.
