had turned, and he retreated to his
lair, taking the nets with him and
making slow progress.
At s O'Clock next morning we landed
on the rocks and found the nets all
right. The professor had brought
along big squirt gun and a large jar
Of chloroform, and when all was ready
we made circuit to the west and got
as near as we dared to the cavern and
then began rolling stones into it. We
had not been at work over FIVE minutes
when the octopus was routed out. We
first saw one long tentacle shoot out
Of the water and clutch the rock above,
and then the creature slowly and la
boriously drew itself out
The net had been bitten and broken
in many places, but still tangled about
him SO as to greatly hamper his move
ments. OF the five arms only one was
entirely free. The monster must have
thought the attack was being made on
him from above, for he had no sooner
caught sight of the spread nets than
he went for them in furious way. He
was, of course, still further tangled up
and the exhibition of the previous day
was nothing to this.
Nothing living could have broken
clear Of that tangle, but we had good
idea Of the creatures strength by the
way he snapped ropes and cords here
and there. With one free tentacle he
picked up and hurled into the sea
loose rock which two strong men could
not have moved
1t was a quarter of an hour before
the octopus was so entirely tangled in
the nets that he could struggle no
more, and we waited at least ten min
utes before approaching him. Then the
professor advanced with his squirt gun
charged from the jar of chloroform
and its contents were shot full in the
monsters face. In two minutes he Law
as if dead, and we then got ropes and
straps and made him secure. Now and
then there was SILVER the full length
OF the tentacles, and we had to stand
back while the professor repeated the
dose, but at no time did the octopus re-
gain full consciousness When all was
ready we put planks under the body
and slid it down into the water, and
after a, hard two hours work we got
the mass aboard the bark and into a
box prepared in advance.
Few people have ever seen a full
crown devilfish, as not above two or
three have ever been on exhibition,
and those came ashore dead and
shrunken. The weight Of this fellow
was $40 pounds, and the stretch of each
tentacle was over eighteen feet The
size Of the tentacles at their base was
as large as the body Of a boy ten years
old, and each was armed with over 200
disks or sucking cups Had he got
three Of his long arms around the body
OF whale and used the other two 10

whaleship would have stood no show
whatever.
The odor exhaled made us all more
or less sick and dizzy, and we were
glad enough when we had landed our
captive at Bombay. He is there today.
but only as preserved specimen. The
best Of care was given him when trans
ferred to the museum. but in the course
OF five or six weeks he was dead. So
Tar as I know. however, he was the
only one of his kind ever taken alive.
