low the Surface.

San Francisco, Sept. 28.-Wrapped in
the tenacles of a giant devil fish, Mar
tin Lun1, diver employed by the
Coast Wrecking Co., fought for his life
in the hold of the wrecked steamer 20
mona which lies in 80 feet of water in
Fort Rose cove off the Marin county
coast. Land arrived in this city yester-
day, after an experience which comes
to few men and will enjoy vacation
before again looming divers dress.
The devil fish had evidently entered
the vessels hold during the night and
Lund was at work sometime before he
became aware of its presence. A giant
tentacle four inches in diameter first
sripped one leg. Before Lund could
realize what had happened, another
encircled his thigh. The diver began to
chop frantically at the ru5ber-like
bonds and at the same time signailod
to the barge above that he wished to
ascend. Unable to free himself in time
two more tentacles squirmed out Of the
darkness and one tWined about his
neck.
The efforts of the men on the sur
face to comply with his signal threat
ened to pull his helmet off and he was
forced to signal them to desiSt. With
only his life arm free. he hacked at the
tcLtacles until they We're partially
crippled, but he was being drawn to-
ward the deadly beak when he saw tn.
outline of the devil fish's body. Plung
ing suddenly toward it. he drove his
knife with all his force into tn" head
repeating the blow until he had slasned
it into sections.
In it's death throes, the octopus
frightened it's tentacles until the diver
was almost crushed in it's embrace
Lund then cut himself free and was
brought to the surface in q faintine
condition. Another diver brought some
81 the several tentacles to the surface
and it is hoped to raise the body ant
bring 1t to this city for exhibition.
