From the inside of the nest we shook

we didn't mind them at ALL We turn

A Mighty Sword Thrust.

The swordtish is combative mon
ster. and the weapon with which ma
ture has provided him is terrible enough
when directed against his natural en-
emies of the sea. But it's foolish fish
that runs amuck with an oak bottomed
barkentine. and its most vicious thrust
IS apt to bring more woe to itself than
its enemy, though the crew OF the
Irmgard had Il hard time of it on a
voyage just completed from Honolulu
to San Francisco.
Two days out from Honolulu heavy
gale struck the ship and lasted for
twenty-four hours. Just as it subsidized
it was discovered that the ship was
leaking. 1t was not a bad leak, the
water creeping very slowly up to the
bold, and under ordinary circumstances
would not nave given much trouble.
But the Irmgard had cargo of
sugar aboard and leakage meant big
loss unless it was promptly checked.
SO the pumps were rugged and every
two hours n detail of men was set to
work for fifteen or twenty minutes to
Keep I0e WdttI uoNH- iiiiS toui sc was
pursued for the entire long voyage.
When the Irmgard was unloaded in
port a search was made to find the
cause of the leak. A sailor ran across
the cause in the bottom of the hold. 1t
was an inch of swordfish sword pro
truding from the bottom.
Examination showed that the sword
driven with tremendous force, had
penetrated five inches of planking and
| eight inches of lining. 1t was broken
off twoinches below the outer sheathing,
| so that sixteen inches Of sword came
home with the ship. The monster,
after this terrific thrust, must have ex-
erted tremendous force to free himself
from the grip of the oak, for he had
worked a sufficient hole around the I'M
prisoned sword to permit of a consid-
cradle leakage.
Three or four planks had to be re-
moved before the sword and It's sur
rounding wood could be cut out. The
specimen was then sent to the city
| museum.
