The Anqler Fish.

A singular superstition about the
angler fish is entertained in some
parts of Sweden (Bohuslan), accord
ing to Malm and Smitt. 1T is SO
feared by many that the tackle is
cut as soon as the monster reaches
the surface, and its captor hurries
home in order to get there, if pos
sible, before the misfortune por-
tended by the monster overtakes
him." The extreme of misfortune
deaths believed by some to be
indicated. Nilsson tells that the
Swedish fishermen on the banks
''believe that on board the vessel on
which an angler is taken some one
is doomed to die soon. They there
fore never or hardly ever take the
angler on board, but prefer to cut
the line and thus lose the hook with
the fish"

a coffin, which was being sent up for
burial. Evidently the little vessel
struck a submerged rock and began to
fill rapidly. There was no time to get
out the boats. -Four men who went
down together came up near where
the coffin was floating. Only one Of
the four could swim. He struck out
and grabbed hold Of the box and drew
the others to it. Then he took off his
necktie. fastened one end to a handle
of the coffin and with the other in his
hand started to swim for the shore.
After being three hours in the water
they reached the shore exhausted. One
Of the four, an elderly man, died soon
after being drawn upon the land.

For eight or nine hours they jumped
about and beat each other in an effort
to keep their blood circulating. Then
one happened to find a metallic cigar
lighter in his pocket, and by blowing
on the end Of the wick for a time they
managed to get a light to start a fire.
They were on the island where they
had landed for t~wenty-four hours be-
fore they were discovered. Twice help
passed them by, but finally their fire
attracted the attention of a small yacht.
