Sea Captains Lively Fight.

Captain +. Dominick OF Il fishing
smack. had fierce fight with an
American whip sting ray. or devil fish,
near the Charleston lightship, the other
afternoon. So far as the local fisher
men are able 10 say, this is the first
fish OF the kind ever seen around the
waters Of Charleston. and, being un-
known to Dominick. he was naturally
in bad fighting shape before the sea
monster was finally killed. The ray
had a wire-like tail, five feet long. and
when this went siashing through the
air and descended with mighty force
on the back Of the Captain, he was
more alarmed that he cared to be. and
it was any mans game until the tail
was finally cut off with knife.
Captain Dominck said he was fish
Ing in quiet water and his lines were
hanging loosely from his boat. Sud
denly there was vicious pull at the
line and the whip singer, weighing
12J pounds, came 10 the surface. The
fish fought TO get away, and some Of
HIS ulill AtfAl WIZ bi'iA' 81 ~ 'it'
scramble. The tail began whipping
the air as soon rs II came from the
water. and Captain Domin!ck had TO
throw his hands TO his face TO keep
from having it lacerated. Fortunately
a big knife was lying open In the boat
and with one cut the tail was severed.
This somewhat subducd the fish, and
in a short time Captain Dominick had
It under control.
The Captain says he lad never seen
living specimen the whip sting be
fore. and he was not prepared for the
onslaught from the monsters tail.

the piscatorial' tribe are not uncom-
