the "fishnip" over his bait, but it wasn't

stood up alone to face his deadly en-
emies. He was doubtless the father
of a great family, probably a grand
father and a great-grandfather, too.
The fat and fur hung in enormous
rolls about his neck, and his whiskers
were stupendous.
The two panthers leaped upon the
old sea lion. and there was a whirl-
wind of howls, blood. flying fur and
swiftly moving paws, armed with
steel-like claws. Then the panthers
drew off for a moment. They found
that the sea lion could bite very hard
and their sides were covered with
blood.
THE marauders then stood of a
little and rained long-distance blows
with lightning speed on the sea lion S
head and shoulders. The unfortunate
sea monster could do nothing, not be-
ing able to reach his antagonists but
It was slow work to produce any eff
feet on him. for his tremendously
thick fur and fat stopped the blows.
He waddled around on his fiippers
and tail, believing defiance at his en-
emies and trying vainly to get at
them.
"One Of the panthers closed with
the sea lion again. and this time the
latter tried to drag his enemy over the
rock into the water with the intention
Of drowning him. The two cats bit
and tore him so furiously he could
not accomplish his purpose.
For a time the combatants spared
for an opening. uddenly one Of the
panthers was seized with a devilish
idea, for he closed in with the see
lion and bit off his right hipper. The
aquatic champion fell to the ground
helpless and bleeding to death. The
panthers were victorious. and were al
ready licking their chops. as pre-
liminary to devouring their victim"

tie in the Water.
A deadly combat between a monster
sea lion and two large California lions.
or panthers. was witnessed by two
men of Tomales. Cal. the other day
lt was an extraordinarily gro
tesque yet truly terrible conflict. The
proverbial battle between an elephant
and a whale, which it is hardly ex-
pected will ever take place, could not
be more remarkable.
At the mouth of Tomales Bay there
Is a small island called Hog Island.
The only person who lives on 1t is
Lewis Johnson, who keeps a chicken
farm. On a reef running out into the
sea there is a rookery of sea lions.
The great beasts gambol on the rocks
and in the water and enjoy the sun
shine all day long They beat the
water into foam and fill the air with
their cheerful believing.
Samuel Short, Of Tomales. visited
Hog Island to buy chickens, and while
he was engaged in a business discus
sion with Lewis Johnson their atten-
ton was diverted by a commotion in
1 the sea lion rookery, not 200 yards
away. The great seals were making
a tremendous bowling and believing.
and to the practised ear Of Johnson it
was evident that the noise did not. as
usual indicate mirth and contentment.
Short thus describes the extraordi-
nary scene that he and his companion
] then witnessed:
I'VE looked at the believing sea
] lions and could not understand their
\ excitement. Then we looked at the
water and understood.
Just sticking out Of the sea were
two enormous cat-like heads glisten-
ing with water. They were moving
onward toward the rock and the rook.
cry at a great rate
Presently the heads reached the
\ rock, and instantly two magnificent
mountain lions leaped out of the wa
ter. These beasts take to the water
very frequently on this coast, and they
swim only a little less easily than the
seals
These two lions might have been
making a short cut across the mouth
Of the bay when they took to the wa
+ ter. or they might have started out
with the express purpose Of makins
a dinner Of young sea lions. At any
, rate, this was the object they had IL
