f THE WHALE
was on exhibition and attracted a large
crowd 1t was dead, but still everybody
wanted to see the whale. We copy the
following from the San Francisco Chroni.
Gle Of April 90, 1887;
"An immense shark, sea serpent o
whale. captured by one Of the fishing yes
sells Of the American Fishing Co., of this
city,was landed to-day at the Washington
street wharf. The monster was captured
in the bay of Monterey by Manuel Perris,
Portuguese fisherman In the employ Of
the above company. Mr. Perris says the
shark attempted TO swallow his deep-sea
net, which is four hundred feet in length,
after which It started out to sea with the
fishing smack Garabaldi In tow, carrying
the bow Of the vessel under water as II
passed through the waves. The fishing
net being partly in the throat and stomach
Of the shark and the balance wrapped
around the head Of the monster. After
travelling out to sea for two hours at fear
ful speed, it suddenly became blinded by
the sea weed collected IN the meshes
Of the net around Its head, and In its be-
wildered condition IL ran around in a cir.
, Gle lashing the sea into foam and some
times Iesping entirely out OF the water
and cf1shing its fearful jaws In lie fury in
attempting to free itself from the net.
Suddenly Il started in the direction Of the
shore, carrying the fishing smack after 1t
as il It were a feather. Upon reaching
the beach, about twenty miles north of
Monterey, the momentum or its body was
so great that 1t landed high and dry fl
teen feet beyond the water line.
The steamer U. s. Grant. Of the American
Fishing company's feet which was In
close pursuit, came up and assisted in Sc
curing the monster and bringing 1t to the
city"
The length Of the monster is 1888 feet;
