tured off the Jersey coast the other

in shape somewhat resembled a toad
fish. Two rows OF teeth adorned its
ponderous jaws, which, when fully
aiar, would admit an ordinary bucket.
Two dart-shaped horns were on its
head. About midway between its
head and tail were two pockets, or
pouches, that could be opened aud
closed at will. and situated between
these pouches and the monsters mouth
were two arms, not unlike the forearm
and hand of man, arranged to pass
the food from the pouches to the
mouth. The pockets were well stocked
