STURGEON BOARDS A PILOT.
BOAT.

AS pilot-boat James Gordon
Bennett, No. 6, was coming UP
the bay yesterday morning about
Il o-v1uyk, vIsIlUI Ieapeu ABOARD
The Bennett had been cruising
outside of Sandy Hook, and was
Oh her return trip. Boatkeeper
William Bow was in charge OF
the boat. All the pilots had
been put on board steamers. The
boat was sailing along at a good
rate, with the wind carrying her
toward her anchorage rapidly.
The lookout was forward.
Just as the Bennett was euter>
ing the NarroWs a black mass
shot out of the water On the side
and landed on the deck. The
blow shook the boat, and caused
her to pitch and roll. The dark
mass was very much alive, and
soon made this fact known by
lively blows on the deck. The
lookout was knocked down by a
blow.
The crew rushed On deck to
see what the trouble was. They
found an immense sturgeon was
the cause of the commotion, and
with boathooks and oars they set
about killing the big fish. They
succeeded after a lively combat.
The sturgeon measured fifteen
feet from its head to its tail, ac>
cording to the crew. 1t was
landed On the Stapleton dock and
