made them so shy that they plung out of
sight at the glimpse of suspicious object,
and constantly change their assembly
places. 1t is much the same with many
species of fish. Long centuries of per-
secution have driven them further and fur
ther north, but some of them, like the tun-
ny fish of the Mediterranean, love warm
weather too much to leave on any account,
and still haunt the courts of Italy, as In
the days of the ancient Romans. Along
the coast Of New England there are many
fine fishing grounds, but the best are Wis
tied only by a special kind of fish at GER
tain times of the year. and cannot be COM
pared with such places as Pensacola,
Florida; or Tampico on the Gulf Coast
of Mexico, where boy with an ordinary
angle, and almost any kind of bait, can
lit at the end of wharf for an hour and
catch as many fish as he will care to carry
home.
Corals and many of the largest of kinds
crabs, turtles, and shells, are likewise
found only in summer seas, and it was
not very far from the equator that reliable
witnesses for once got close range view
OF mysterious creature, the sea-serpent.
British man-of-war had about half
finished its return trip from Cape Town
to Suez, when one day, after passing the
island Of Madagascar, the ship came in
sight of a strange object to leeward. and
TIE next minute the whole crew rushed on
desk at the report that their lookout SEN
tries had espied sea-serpent Floating
masses of sea weed have often caused such
reports, but there seemed no doubt about
it this time. An animal, at least fifty feet
long and with an arrow-shaped head as
big as little canoe, was darling through
the water straight in the teeth of a stiff
breeze, and passed the ship at distance
OF tardly two hundred yards. It swayed
its head from side to side, and once reared
1t few feet and seemed to return the
curious chances of the crew, but its bust
ness was apparently urgent-a raid on the
seal rocks, near the coast of Africa, per-
haps-and in less than ten minutes it had
vanished among the white caps on the wes-
tern horizon.
The captain made all his officers and
some of the crew sign an affidavit of what
they had seen, and on his return to Eng
land forwarded the report to the Court of
Pdmiralty, but some of his superior Off
GERS were almost inclined to blame him
that he had not taken the responsibility of
firing broadside on the chance of per-
haps solving the greatest mystery of the
sea.
