lanterns rocking close to the water,
and then, in the light, a drifting little
cluster Of boats upon the broad still
ness of the stariit summer sea, with
every man aboard striking, as If for
dear life, over the side. But the light
from the gunbuat was SO bright and
dazzling that when the men in the
boats turned to the water again, they
saw it black, with spots of colour show
ing against its blackness. And sud
denly there was Il cry of despair
We're sinking" 1t came from the
little boat which had first discovered
the shoal that night
They had found the water bubbing
into them. a dozen seconds convinced
them of the impossibility of bailingand
they fastened to board the large boat
alongside. And then came the tragedy
of the night. one of the lads missed
his leap and went down between the
boats as they came together.
He must have gone down like stone.
There was visible, to such as the cleo
trio light had not blinded. a faint,
writhing luminosity far down in tha
water. writhing luminosity that
darkened, Gwindlcd, and vanished in
to the depths. And then. one by one.
from this boat and that. single stellate
ghastly shapes whirled down after that
central struggle. and left the water
clear and dark. The sinking boat
drifted reluctantly downward. turned
and rose again with its keel out of
water.
No one in the boats was anxious to
renew the fight. For n long time the
boats lowered uneasily, anticipating 4
return of the enemy, and they came
back To Sidmouth. rowing slowly and
painfully in a loose, Struggling line
after the sun had risen.

of fish from the Cornish coasts that

suggested as the force that drove them
hither: but, for my own part, ] prefer
to believe the alternative theory of
Hemsley's. Hemsley holds that q pack

become enamoured of human flesh by
the accident of foundered ship sink
ing among them. and have wandered
in search of it out of their accustomed
zone: first waylaying and following
ships, and SO coming to our shores in
the wake of the Atlantic ,raffic. But to
discuss Hemsleys cogent .lnd admir-
ably-stated arguments would be out

And, as If he had not already been
in sufficient peril that day, Mr. Fispn
went with the boat to nut out the eX-
act spot of his adventure.
As the tide was down. it required q
considerable detour to reach the spot,
and when at last they came off the
ladder way, the mangled body had dis
appeared. The water was now run
ming in, submerging first one slab of
SilmE rock and then another. and the
four men in the boat-the workmen,
that is, the boatman, and Mr.. Fison-
now turned their attention from the
bearings off shore to the water be-
meath the keel
At first they could see little below

with an occasional darting fish Their

expressed their disappointment freely
But presently they saw one of the mon
sters swimming through the water sea-
ward, with curious rolling motion
that suggested to Mr. Fison the spin
ming roll of q captive balloon. Almos.
Immediately after. the waving stream
erS OF laminaria were extraordinarily
perturhed, parted for moment and
three of these beasts became larkly Wis
ible. struggling for what was proba bly,
some fragment of the drowned man. In
moment the cOpioIs olive-green rib
bons had poured again over this writh-
ing group.
At that, all four men, greatly ex-
cited, began beating the water with
oars and shouting, and Immediately
they saw tumultuOus movement
among the weeds. They desisted to see
more clearly. ana as soon as the water
was smooth. they saw as it seemed to
them. the whole sea bottom among the
weeds set with eyes.
Ugly swine," cried one of the men,
"Why! There's dozens!"
And forthwith the things began to
rise through the water about them.
Mr.. Flson has since described to the
writer this startling eruption out of
the waving laminaria meadows. To
him 1T seemed to occupy a considerable
time. but 1t Is probable that really il
was an affair of a few seconds only.
For time. nothing but eyes, and then

larger. utnil at last the bottom was
hidden by their intercoiling forms, and
ting tips of tetnacles rose darl,ly here
ana there into the air above the swell
of the waters.
one came up boldly to the side of the
boat, and, clinSir.; to this with three of
its sucEer-sct tertGcles. threw four
others over the gunwale as if with an
intention either of overseeing the boat
or of clambering into it. Mr.. Fison at
once caught up the boathook. and iau-
bing furiously at the soft tantacles,
forced it to desist. He was struck in
the back and almost pitched overheard

Mr.. Fison. who was trembling violently.
He went 10 the tiller, while the boatman

coiled c0piously on the ground. The
skin had a glstening texture, un-
pleasant to see, like shiny leather. The
downward bend of the tentacle-surr-
ounded mouth, the curious eXcrescence
at the bend, the tentacles and the large
intelligent ewes, gave the creatures a
grotesque suggestion of face. They
were the size of a fair sized swine

Others Were emerging from the sea.
Their bodies lay fatty on the rocks,
and their eyes regarded him with evil
interest: but it does not appear that
Mr.. Fison was afraid, or that he real
i2ed that he was in any danger. Posi-
bly, his confidence is to be ascrbed to
the limpness of their attitudes. But he
was Mortified, Of course, and intensely
excited and indignant at such revolving
ci cieatures preying upon human flesh.
He thought they had chanced upon a
drowned body. He shouted to them,
with the idea of driving them off, and
finding they did not bulge. cast about

lo'N 'il't HuUS II NJ one.
And then, slowly uncoilng their ten
nacles, they all began moving towards
him--creeping at first deliberately, and
making Il soft nurring sound 10 each
other.
IN moment Mr.. Fison realized that
ne was in danger. He shouted again.
threw bOth his boots, and started off,
with leap, forthwith. Twenty yards
on ne stopped and faced about. Judging
them slow, and behold! the tentacleS of
their leader were already pouring over
the rock ridge on which he had Just
been standing.
At that he shouted again. but this
time not threatening, but cry of dis
may. and began jumping. striding, Slip

panse between him and the beach. The
tall red cluiIs seemed suddenly at a
vast distance, and he saw. as though
they were creatures in another world,

could hear the creatures sDlasning in

and once he slipped and almost fell.
They chased him To the very iuct Of

foot of the laddcr-way up the cliff. All
three of the men nelted them with
stones for a time and then hurried to

from the clutches Of these abominaJla

And now to tell what is perhaps He
most astonishing fact in this whole
ASTONISHING raid. We have not the
slightest knowledge of the subsequent
movements of the shoals, although the
whole southwest coast was now alert
for II. But it may, perhaps. be Signiti-
cant that 2 cachalot was stranded off
Sark on June 3. Two weeks and three
days after this Sidmouth affair. Il liv-
ing hapoteuthis came ashore on Calais
sands. 1t was alive, because several
witnesses saw it's tentacles waving in a
convulsiVe way. But it is prob able that
it was dying. A gentleman named
Pouchet obtained a rifle and shot IT,
That was the last appearance of a
living haplOteuthis. No others We're
seen on the French coast. On the 18th
of June q dead body, almost complete,
was washed ashore near TOrquay, and
a few days later boat from the Mar
inc Biological station, engaged in
dredging off Plymouth. picked up 4 rot
ting specimen, slashed deeply with a
cutlass wound. How the former speci-
men had come by its death it is inn
possible to say. And on the last day

bathing near Newlyn, threw up his
arms. shrieked, and was drawn under.
\ friend bathing with him made no at
tempt to save him. but swan at once
for the shore. This is the last fact to
tell of this extraordinary raid from the
deeper sea. Whether it is really the
last of these horrible crea lures. il is as
yet. premature to say. But it is be-
lieved. and certainly it is to be hoped.
that they have returned now. and re-
turned for good. to the sunless depths
of the middle seas. out of which they
have so strangely and so mysteriously
arisen.
But It will be long before people
learn again to regard the sea with the
easy confidence of former days.
