LOBSTER FIGHTS TWO MEN.
Six Feet Long. a nd Perhap p~ the Fabled
Monster of the Hay OF Chaleur-
Bost on Corr New York Press

Sea serpcnts are outdone by the mammoth
lobster encountered few days ago by two
fishermen of the smack Two Sisters, Of
Picjou- 1t was on the great Banks OF New
fouHdlaHd that the fishermen encountered
it. The Three Sisters was moored in the
port OF Boston the other day, and the fish
ermen told their wierd tale TO a Press man.
II seems that the NJ Micmac fishermen have
long believed IN lat the Ba of Chaleur was in
habited by monster lobster. which is said
to upset skiffs and drag unfortunate vic
tins to watery graves.
''Tom Massey and Bill Reed were out In
a dory about 100 yards from the smack"
begins the yarn as told By the mate. They
were fishing, when the boat gave a sudden
lurch, as If some one was climbing over the
side. There was a cry of terror. Massey
was hanging on the side of the boat for dear
life. while Reed was belaboring great.
green shiny looking thing, that was waving
long feelers about his head. 1t was the lob
ster. Its huge claw had Massey's right
arm fast Massey hung TO the thwarts with
his left hand, while the hOrrid creature was
trying to reach Reed with the other claw.
The heavy skiff lurched dangerously. and
1t seemed every minute as il it would be
swampcd. and that the monster would Sc
cure its victim.
''0ne of the other boats quickly came
the rescue. One of the men made a crack
at the green head with heavy hatchet.
He struck 1t a glancinG blow. Instantly it
let go OF Massey and turned on the men in
the other boat, throwing its heavy body
half over the side, 1t grasped the side Of
the boat between the jaws of one OF its
npPers, and the strong wood was crunched
like paper. But it did not succeed in get
ting hold of any of the men in the second
boat, because the moment ii let go of Mas
sey Reed seized a pike AK and gare it a
blow in the back of the neck. This was
enough for the monster. 1t let go its hold
and sank out OF sight,
As Reed himself tells the story. the big
lobster followed a cod which they had
hooked. and as they drew it over the side of
the skiff the ugly shell ish followed. Reed
says that the snap OF tits nippers when they
came together sounded like the crack OF
rifle.
Both Ma sSey and Reed say that the body
OF the lobster was over three feet long, and
that its claws were about the same length
too. II never saw such frigb,fui sight
as the creatures eyes" said Reed. They
seemed to be drawn way up into his bead.
when suddenly they would spring otit fully
e:Ght inches like pipe stem. nd seemed
to be in the ndS Of Il pair OF long tubes.
They snapped and blazed like fire. and
