The little steamer made for the scene
Of the battle with all speed, and every
one of the passengers was terribly ex-
cited at the scene, but when the boat
reached the spot where the great whale
was last seen, nothing but foaming
water, Redeemed with blood, marked the
locality. There were several old-time
sailors on board the steamer and they
all agreed that battle unto death be-
tween a swordfish and female whale
had been fought before their eyes. The
swordfish had the advantage of the
great sea mammal and was thrusting
it's only weapon of attack and defense
the long sharp and pointed sword
into the vulnerable sides OF the un-
wieldy whale. The great mammal
could but thrash its tail about in i'm
potent rage until at last vital spot
was reached by the attacking sword
fish, and the whale was vanquished.

animation of the carcass showed it had
doubtless succumbed to fierce thrust
from an enemy, possibly Xiphius, or
long swordfish, as it had single cut
two and half inches wide that pene-
trated the entire body like knife
thrust. The defeated swordfish had ap-
parently been carrying on an unequal
fight Armed with a short sword or
dagger it had been struck by a caval-
ryman of the sea, whose keen rapier
had killed it. The body amazed the
fishermen.
A singular thing in connection with
the swordfish is that little or nothing
is known regarding its breeding habits,
and a young swordfish. so far as
known, has never been seen on the Cal
ifornia coast. The young are curious
creatures, with enormous eyes. and the
1daws upper and lower, of equal length.

at sea or on the windward coast of the

about a mile away from the scene Of
the combat, was a small mountain of

which a huge black tail churned the
water like the blades of a screw pro-

markable cases on record Is that of the

the crew felt a sudden shock, and soon
after that the ship sprung a leak and
was obliged to put into port. 1t was
found when she was drydocked that a

sword had penetrated the copper, then

the shore off San Diego. It was q mag

length, the body massive and power
full and remarkable for its shape It
did not taper to the tail, as many of
it's tribe do, but continued large all the
way to the tail, which was powerful

Soon 1t was seen that they were sword
fish. The season was when the fish are
unusually ferocious. They had made
several rushes, and when observed
were at close quarters, striking each
other powerful side blows like cavalry
men. This was unsatisfactory, and
finally they separated and darted at
each other other like arrows. the water
Kissing as their sharp dorsal fms cut

head-on, one missing, while the sword
of the other struck just below the eye

and attempted to escape. But its ad-
versary also turned, and with a rush
drove it's sword completely through the
body Of It's foe and held it fast, only
wrenching it's weapon loose when it's
enemy stopped swimming.
This one lunge finished the battle.
and the victor left the field. The van

picked up by the fishermen. The

long career in the whaling fields of the
racine ocean, say that the battle be-
tween the whale and the swordfish last
week was not uncommon. Several of
the old tars say they have witnessed
just as good fights between similar
combatants, and, besides, that In near
ly every case the swordfsh is. the at
tacking party. Many men who have
been on whaling voyages have found
wounds in the carcasses of whales that
were undoubtedly left there by an an

that swordfish is able to stab the
whale to death.
The swordfish Is utterly without fear
and will, like a buffalo or rhinoceros,
charge anything that offends 1t, often
doing an amount of execution hardly to
be believed did not the evidence exist
Combats between swordfish are most
interesting. and may be compared to a
duel between two expert .swordsmen.
Such contest was observed off the
long pier that extends out into the
ocean at Santa Monica, near Los An
geles, last year. Some fishermen no.

ferocity of a thrust by a swordfish
The force with which a swordfish
strikes has been variously estimated
but that it is equal to that which
drives a 24-pound shot from q howitzer
will be believed easily after viewing
the results.
In the waters of California three
kinds of swordfish can be seen
Xiphius gladius. Tetrapturus albidus,
and Histophorus. The fish engaged in
the battle described were of the kind
first named. 1t is the ordinary sword
fish found on both sides of the Allan
tic, in appearance trim and shipshape-
veritable privateer. It is a piratical
cousin of the mackerel. The striking
feature lis the sword which Is con-
tinuation of the upper jaw into a
sharp, bony sword. The jaws are
toothless, the lower one being hard
or bony. The eyes are large and prom
inent, the tail sickle-shaped and pow
erful, and the whole appearance of the
fish denotes speed and activity.
It attains length Of from five to
nine feet, and when working at full
speed can pierce wooden hull sheath
