A Fish Swallowed His Watch.

An amusing incident happened re-
Gently on board a Columbia river
steamer, while on a pleasure trip.
They were we'll out at sea when one
of the passengers discovered a large
fish, which is known in those waters as
a linn, following close behind the boat.
Several of the boys were soon leaning
over the stern, admiring the fish, when
one of them accidentally dropped his
watch overheard out of his overshirt
pocket. It was large, old-fashioned
Swiss silver watch, and when it hit the
water it darted on its voyage to the
bottom of the sea; but the linn saw it.
and as he is a fish that bites at every
thing that shines, opened his huge
mouth and swallowed the watch at one
gulp. The surprised and chagrined
young man remarked that the watch
had Just been wound up and was good
to tick away for twenty-four hours at
least.
