LhErED A HUGE TUNA.
0uers n Fish Weighing no
Pounds on California Coast.

Among fishermen In the neighbor-
hood of Pasadena, Cal, Mrs. Walter
Raymond, of Boston, is freely accorded
the championship Of her sex, the re-
suit of an extraordinary piscatorial feat
recently performed. Mr.. and Mrs. Ray
mond had been making an extended
sojourn on the Pacific coast, and each
had gained renown with the line and
hook. but all previous performances
of this character were put in eclipse
by the feat under notice. They had
accompanied fishing party from Pas
adena to Santa Catalina, and while al
Turing the famous tuna of those waters
to the hooks Mrs. Raymond was seen
TO give sudden lurch forward and
eagerly take a firmer grip upon her
line. Her husband sprang TO her as
slstance, but she waved him Off. saying:
This fight is mine" The line straight
ened out, the bow Of the boat suddenly
swung around, and. the little craft start
ed off at a sizzling pace down the har-
Dor, but Mrs. Raymond hung on with
all her might. Gradually the speed
slackened and she began TO haul in.
When the fish was finally brought along
side Il was found to be mammoth tuna,
and when placed upon the scales showed
weight of 40 pounds. This is the
first time in the history OF Santa Cata-
lima that a fish of this size was ever
landed by lady, and IL necessarily fol-
flowed that thereafter Mrs. Raymond
was looked upon as a veritable heroine.
