The CLAIMS eggs are carried by the

I'm the water with them the mother clans
discharge the eggs which soon hatch, but
n there are no fish they carry the eggs
until they decay. The reason OF this
strange behavior Is this: When the eggs
are set free In the water they soon hatch
and the little ones swim about until they
find some fish 20 which TO attach them

bling through resentful and thorny underbrush, to
get a shot at an animal who has grim sense of
hurnor and will lead you the worst country in
the world, while he is chucklng at your scratches
and bruises. A sport exists within a few hours
of New York which is just exciting elephant
grizzly or tiger hunting, and which appeals in
everyway to those instincts of fair play which must
be satisfied in all manly pastimes that include killing.
1t is dangerous enough too, to crafty in this par
tiCular the most Unsuitable SearCher after excitement
To find such rare sport, you VII say one must
get into the wilderness. Well, the wilderness lies
near to New York and Boston, the trackless
civilized vast wilderness of the sea, that unpeopled
and mysterious and savage domain which is three
times as large the land.
The swordhsh hunted almost exclusively
by professional fishermen for its toothsome flesh,
is the legitimate prey of the sportsman. 1t is
the iaunty and fearless sWashbuckler of the deep,
who armed literally to the teeth, wanders about
in quest of adventure and spoil. With his great
keen pointed weapon, he is daring and full of
fight as any hero of romance, and often attacks the
whale out of sheer sport and the lust for blood
1t is formidable weapon which he yields, and
with which he is most skilful both in slashing and
thrustng. The which | brought home with me
ON recent expedition is nearly three feet long,
and it came from a specimen that weighed only
about hundred and seventy five pounds. Four
hundred pounds is no uncommon weight for a sword
fish and they can stab ferociously that holes

sea-rsks Is an animal to be despised as ad-
versarv that thrust its weapon through copper
sheathing, oak plankng, and deep into the hard and
seasoned tinbers of an ocean-going ship?

Captain J., the Sword Fisherman

XTHILE hunting the swordfsh you enjoy the ex
w hilaration of sailing in a large cat-boat Hav-

take nap when the outlook is dull luled to sleep
by the motion of the waves, and you enjoy the

r--ad make beans taste like truffies If you have
the good fortune, too, to go out with my friend,
Captain !. of Chatham, you will be entertained by
tales of adventure in many ATTITUDES that would
maze Captain Slocum or 7. jenkins Hams look to
their laurelS.
Captain J. is little man, somewhat bent, and
well along in years. His failing eyesight caused
him leave the sea some years ago, since which
time he has acted first mate to his wife, who is
the efficient captain of excellent boarding house.
He meekly goes after baskets of fish now, and draws
water for washing; but he has set up front of his
barn the wheel of his last ship, that persisted in
wreck and it is his habit to stand by it dreaming for
hours, with his hand upon one of the spokes.
He had been telling of spearing pOrpoises and
sharks and the giant sunfsh one night, when the
conversation drifted to swordfsh. This is the
season for EN-" he remarked wistfully. Come
to the barn and Il show you my swordfish IRON.

" Not with that iron in him. Just
wait a minute. Nobody knows
what a swordfsh' II do next"
He had made this remark a mo-
ment before, and l was to learn
afterward that it is a favorite eX-
preston among those acquainted
with the habits of this fish, which
enjoys the reputation commonly
attributed to women. In fact, it is
a creature of infinite variety" and

that it would be necessary to stand away for Nan

ravening hunger which the sea breeds, and by i'm
patience. l had begun my third sandwich when
the skipper, who had been standing there in the
pulpit all this time motionless and as patient

water, changing the pole from hand to hand as he
motoned to the Captain, keeping his arms close to
his body. Each time the skipper wigged his fingers,
without turning around the Captain changed trife
the course, which was easy, sailing with
a fair wind. At length the skipper leaned far over,
and dropped rather than threw the pole, with a
dexterous jerk of the forearm.

fish, but there was life enough in that cask to make
a man forget his dyspepsia and his unpaid bills.
