PhiIadelphia.--Atta by mystic
rous creature, variously described as
"monstrous amphibious animal" and
e. furious freak fish," Daniel Miller, a
shad fisherman, was rescued from
harm by his companion, Harry Taylor,
in the Delaware river off Gloucester,
N, ].
For five minutes after the creature
had been hauled into their boat 1t
gave battle Until Miller became ex-
huvsted he fought the attacks with his
fists. Taylor, who was operating the
boat, was afraid to leave his position
while the battle waged, for fear the
boat would capsize.
Miller, who is one of the oldest fish
ermen in Gloucester, accompanied by
Taylor, set out with nets for shad
early this morning. Shortly before
noon, when they were preparing to re-
turn home with their supply of fish,
they pulled in the net.
AS they brought 1t to the surface the
weight became noticeably heavy.
There was constant jerking at the
ropes. AT last they were unable to
pull the net any higher and lashed 1t
to the side Of the boata. When Miller
opened the net the creature sprang
from the water at him. The force
sent Miller sprawling into the middle
Of the boat. The creature, which had
two rows of long teeth, snapped at
him viciously.
When the fishermen finally landed
their catch" on land. hundreds Of per-
sons fiocked to see the creature. 1t
was taken to Miners boathouse. Fish
ermen who have seen and caught
many kinds OF fish shook their heads
