Badly Hurt BIZ a Fish.

A dispatch from Port Monmouth, N. J.,
states that VIM. Oberman, fisherman,
while drawing pond Ia Raritsn bay haul
cd up an immense stingaree. After he had
thrown the Gsh Into the boat 1t made leap
and struck ODerman on the leg, near the
knee. nearly sevsrlng 1t. DR.. John b. Van
Mater was summoned, but the man is In q
dangerous condition. having become unoon-
scious from loss Of blood.
The stingaroe, or sting-ray, is a formidable and
hdeous fl n Of the ray family, and is fortunately
not common on this coast, although exceedingly
large specimens are occasionally taken by the net
in hauling for other fish. The destructive and
dangerous part Of the stingaree is great keen
spur or thorn which extends upward about six
inches from the tip of the tail. This thorn is of
bone, slightly covered with slimy brown skin,
and Is full of tiny tsrbs, which make it difficult
70 withdraw the thorn from anything it has
pierced. The fish lashes with its tail any one az.
lacking 1t. and rarely misses IS ain. Thia thorn
or spur is what has always beeu considered pois.
onous By fishermen. Some time ago it was re-
ported that a bather in Long Island sound had
stepped on one and died shortly afterws1d from
the wound he received. Last summer fishermen
in Jamaica bay seined sn Immense specimen of
this ugly denizen of the ocean in what is known
as False channel, near Canaraie L. l. The fsh
