LIE sersent De Mer Frouca,..

The Flaiphong mail has brought news
of hitherto unknown species Of ocean
monster which has been seen on sew
erai occasions by the officers OF the
gunboat Avalanche in Fai-tsi-Long
Bay. Naval Lieut.. Lagresille. com
mander Of the Avalanche, reports that
on July last In Along Bay two animals
Of strange form. about twenty Yards
long and two or three yards in cir
conference. were observed at a dis
lance OF 600 metres. Their movements
were not rigid, but undulatory. in a
vertical sense. They dived when q
shot was fired at them. Several similar
creatures were seen on Feb. Is this
year, and were fired at when from 400
to 400 yards distant. Two small shells
burst on one of the monsters, but did
not appear to injure It, Lieut. Lagre-
sille tried to run them down, but thew
We're too swift for the Avalanche.
Whenever the animal he chased got in
to shallow water it doubled back and
thus was clearly seen. Each time It
dived it blew noisily. The color was
gray. with several black fms, lne head
something like that Of a SEAL and the
back covered with a sawlike ridge.
The presence of these creatures is re-
veaied by their loud breathing. Lieut..
Lagresille thought once that he had
secured a specimen, but the animal
dived and came up far astern of the
Avalanche. The number Of meetings
reported with these new denizens of
the deep would tend to show that the
species is fairly plentiful in the seas
where the Avalanche was stationed.
