Second Officer of the Steamship
Corinthian Describes Fifty
Foot Sea Serpent.
1T CRIED LIKE BABY
Declares He Located Creature Of the
Grand Banks, Near Where Titanic
Sank--Had Bonny Blue Eyes and
Neck Twenty Feet Long.

London.-Surely 1t would have been
mistake for the silly" season to
pass without its sea serpent. Down at
the Surrey Docks is a man who has
not only seen a fearful and wonderful
marine monster, but has even
sketched 1t from life.
1t is not exactly the sea serpent OF
hoary tradition, but sort of sea
giraffe-an extraordinary looking am-
phibious animal which is puzzling the
biologists who have heard of it and
seen the drawing.
Some idea of this weird freak may
be gathered from this first hand de-
scription of it: Has bonny blue eyes;
cries like baby; neck twenty feet
long; body fifty feet; big head with
long ears and snout; three horned
fins adorn it's bony head; two big
tapping fins; skin like a seal; brown
ish yellow in color, with pretty dark
spots"
A plain, commonsense seaman, who
tells his story bluntly, without any
frills or trimmings, Second Officer G.
Bachelor of the steamship Corinthian,
describing his strange adventure with
the sea giraffe, said:
I'VE were bound from London to
Montreal, and it was my turn on
watch on the bridge in the early
morning of August 80. 1t was cold
and the gray dawn was just break
ing, when, as l was keeping my eye
straight ahead on our course, I
picked up queer-looking object about
a mile ahead. 1t disappeared, and as
quickly it shot up again no more than
200 feet away from the ship.
II distinctly saw it rise out Of the
water First, there was n big head,
with long ears and long snout, and
bullying blue eyes that we're mild and
liquid. Then there was a neck-no
end Of neck-and 1t swayed with
the wash Of the waves. What 1t was
couldn't guess, for In twenty years
of sea-going, including trips in trop-
ical waters, I've never seen anything
like this sea giraffe that was staring
right at the Corinthian.
"As the thing seemed to eye me II
lashed the water with its big front
fins. Then it suddenly dived and dis
appeared, at the same time giving an
odd little wall like a baby's cry. You
wouldn't think such huge animal
could have had such a small voice.
"As soon as 1 went off duty l went
below and made a sketch of the mon
ster in India ink, When the Corin,
THAN reached Montreal my sketch
was shown to Prof. F. e. Lloyd of Nc
Gill university, an expert in zoology
The professor said that whatever ii
was. it wasn't a serpent. but sea

A blackboard marker, by means Of
which a series of parallel lines may

distance between the crayons, which
means to regulate the space between
the lines they draw, the lazy-tongs are

LONGEST FUNERAL ON RECORD
Man Leaves $4,000 to Pay Expenses
Of Strange Trip From California
to New York.

San Diego, Cal.,-When Michael
Moran Of New York city went to San
Francisco seeking health he met w.
A. Peck, representative of an Ohio au-
tomobile concern. They became
friends.
One day when Moran was feeling
worse than usual and felt he was
going to die, Peck tried to cheer him
up.
What do you care If you do pass
out?" he asked as joke. "I'll take
you back tc New York in an automo-
bile hearse. Think of that! A funeral
from coast to coast!"
Moran gave his friend a, sour look
and went back to the Tuberculosis
hospital. Soon after Peck drifted
somewhere along the coast and forgot
about the promise he had made.
Moran died on August IA. When he
knew he could not live more than a
few hours he called the nurse to his
bedside.
81 want you to find w. A. Peck
somewhere" he said, "and give him
this $4,000 remind him of a promise
he made to me, and tell him to spend
it on the trip"
The nurse called the superintend.
ent, who agreed to carry out Moran's
last wishes. Peck was found in Seattle.
Then it took several days more to
make arrangements for the hearse.

IN PLACE OF COAL.

Yesterday afternoon the board Of
city commissioners in called session
authorized Commissioner Of Water &
Sewers Fraley, 10 enter into a con
tract for furnishing power for pump
ins the city water with the Ardmore
Ice, Light & Power Company. i in his
opinion he could get the power cheap
er than the city could furnish il by
using CCal.
For some time Commissioner Fra
le! has been conducting exhaustive
tests d; the city plant and yesterday
submitted his report showing that il
was costing the city at present, fur

SIDES this cost. the city has 10 keep

Mr.. Foster agreed TO furnish the
pow er 20 pump this same amount Of
w4tgT for OPS cents per 1000 gal

100000 gallons per month, would

In ,raking this test Commissioner
Faley went into every detail of the
business. and his figures were based
on facts very convincing 10 his col
leagues. In making this deal with
Ar Foster the city does not have -
he bodnd by a contract, but can dis
coEtinle the service at any time the
commissioners see fit.
Mr.. Foster appeared before the
board and stated that he desired to
show the city that he could save
them approximately $1,000 per year
on the cost of the city pumping,
and maintained that it was no more
than right that the city should use
power furnished by him rather than
pay the money over to the coal oper
ators, when he was saving in actual
cash the above amount. Mayor RoD-
erts and the entire board of commits
