every Saturday.

Every Saturday.
Swordfsh are unusually plenty off the
coast this summer. The fishermen hunt
them with harpoons. speariDg them from
the decks Of small sail vessels. The fish,
ing smack Matte and Lena has arrived
here after a four days trip about Block
Island with sixteen large swordfish, aver
aging 800 pounds each, and an exciting
story of struggle for life between Henry
Cheesebro, one of the crew, and a wounded
and maddened swoTdfish.
CheesebTo had harpOOned q big fish off
Honiauk Point, and. after waiting the
usual length of time. got into a small boat
TO orlng the apparently exhausted fish TO
the vessel. As soon as Cheesebro ap-
preached him and commenced hauling in
the line. the fish awoke from his torpor and
started In to battle for bis life. BE began
operations by diving so as to spear Cheese
bros boat on coming to the surface. Miss
Ing his aim the fish dived again for
second attack.
1t was now too late for Cheesebro to re-
treat, and. defenseless in the frail cedar
yawl. he awaited the onslaught. When
the fish shot out of the water once more he
drove his sword completely through the
boat from side to side. TIE sword en-
tered the boat about three feet from the
bow on the port side and came out through
the thin plank on the starboard side
Cheesebro had retreated to the stern of the
boat in time to avoid the violence of the
fierce FISH and thus escaped injury
His plight was seen from the schooner
and the vessel headed for the scene of the
conflict. BY constant bailing Cheesebro
kept his frail and disabled craft afioat
until succ9r arrived. A blow on the head
finally killed the fish, and Cheeseboro's
peril rs q swoTdfsherman was over for
this time. The fish weighed 33S pounds

BRITISH NAVAL FAILURES.
The Fleet ,of Torpedo Cruisers Is
Dismal Failure.

London Standard.
One of the most serieus pieces of news
in connection with naval maneuvers is
reported by a correspondent. He states
that when ordered to accompany the
Royal Sovereign at full speed the tor
pedo catcher Niger could not steam
fourteen knots. Now, the Niger is one
Of the latest of an immense class of
vessels. nearly thirty in number. which
has been turned out by the Admiralty to
perform a specific duty. The torpedo
catchers are small boats of from 700 to 900
tons. with engines of from 1900 60 1900
horse power. They are in Tended to be the
British reply to the very large force OF
torpedo boats which the French have
placed in the channel and in the Mediter-
ranean.
The theory is thatAnything approaching
to seaway they will run down and de-
stroy the feetest torpedo boat. Their
speed is supposed to vary from nineteen to
twenty-one knots. As matter of fact,
says the Pail Mall Gazette, the whole class,
with scarcely an exception, is a notorious
and dismal failure. Few Of the catchers
can average sixteen knots; many have
tailed 10 maintain an even lower
speed. Their tunnels become red hot
when the boilers are being pushed, and
tongues of flame from their furnaces in
dicate their approach at night. The
French have many torpedo boats capable
of running twenty-five miles an hOnr and
upward. To set vessel like the Niger to
catch one Of these boats would Ee like
pursuing an express train in a hanson
cab. Ii is to be regretted that in build ing
six ships of the Hawk class, vessels of 215
