The barkenfine c. c. Funk, now in port
from Santa Rosalia, Mexico, had an un-
usual and exciting experience in the CUT
of California May Is with q swordfish.
The vessel was going south with q cargo OF
merchandise from San Francisco and was
speeding along at o nIne-knot rate when
is was noticed that the sen was greatly
disturbed. The water seemed TO boil a.
though some big animal was racing
through it at tremendous rate Of speed.
The officers were unable TO account for the
strange phenomenon and watched the un-
usual scene in amazement Suddenly the
barkentine received such O severe shock
that every man on board was carried from
his feet. For an instant the vessel was
arrested in her progress, stopped still,
Quivsred like a wounded animal, and then
slowly got under way. The officers and
csew gaxed at one another In blank amaze
ment. surmising that a submarine vol
cano had bursted through the bottom of
the sea and that the vessel had
struck rock. Capt. Glaxier was unable
TO account for the strange adventure until
he arrived at Santa Rosalia. where
the vessel was discharged and her hull

ing through the fimbers. protruded the
extreme end Of fsn's sword. About four
inches was broken off with a sledgeham-
mer and Is now preserved on board as
trophy Of the occasion. The animal had
evidently mistaken the hull of the barken-
tine for whale, and was bent on taking
its life. The sword struck the barkentine
on the starboard side, at point below the
water line. beneath the Porcelain plates,
penetrating hve-inch plank and one of
the ships timbers, whore 1t was broken,
the fish leaving about eighteen inches of
his weapon sticking in the vessels side.
Some water came through the aperture,
and IL was necessary to calk up the hole.
Capt. Glazier says that II was the most re-
markable adventure that he ever expert
enced at sea. and that the fsh must have
been OF immense size to have 50 greatly
disturbed the sea and TO have struck the
vessel with such tremendous force as to
have driven its sword through q compare
lively new vessels side.
