tragic history of the tilefish. therefore,

handsome, and potentially valuable
species is one of the most remarkable
stories of marine biology"
The scientific study of marine life was
at least a century old in the spring OF
1879. and yet at that time. so far as the
scientists of the period knew, man had
never seen a tilefish or known Of its ex-
istence. 1t was Captain Kirby. OF the
fishing schooner William V. Hutchins. who
discovered the tilefsh. He was fishing on
the edge of the Gulf Stream near Nan
tucket in May, 1879, and in a few ex-
citing hours one day his men pulled up
several thousand pounds of strange
and handsomely-colored fish" from the
depth of one hundred fathoms.
The captain had been fishing a good
many years of the southern New Eng
land coast, but he was stumped to find
a name for this specimen. Therefore, he
sent one to the United States fish COM
missioner At Washington. who turned It

over to his scientists for Identification.
The fish was given its Latin name, which
means. the crested titus with a chame-
leor-like head" and the fishermen speedi-
ly shortened this to tile fish.
At once Commissioner Baird, of the
bureau of fisheries. ordered the new tile
banks to be surveyed and charted, with
the idea of establishing an important new
fishing industry, but this work was alb
ruptly stopped almost as soon as il had
started by a fearful marine disaster
which almost exterminated the tilefsh.
The first news of this piscatorial
cataclysm came in March, 1882, when
the master of a coasting vessel reported
that he had sailed for sixty-nine miles
through a mass of dead and dying fish
floating on the surface. He at first said
fifteen miles, explaining afterwards that
he feared the whole truth would shake
his reputation for veracity. He had not
seen the extent OF the destruction, how
ever. Additional investigation estab-
lished an area ITO miles long and TWEEN
ty-five miles wide covered with dead tile
fish.
What had happened? Practically the
whole species had died of cold, due TO a
southern shift in the current OF the Gulf
Stream. The tilefsh. like the cod, Ii .

Stream touches bottom on a slope as

is Just warm enough and just deep
enough to Suit this fish.
As the Gulf Stream receded from shore
the tilefish could not follow it on the bot
tom to a depth greater than the fish could
stand. The fish was therefore left in the
icy water that flowed in as the Gulf
Stream receded. and in this chill ii per-
ished by the hundreds of millions.
Some years later. the Gulf Stream be-
ing still of soundings," 1t was dis
covered that the stream was again APP

predicted that the year 1892 would find
it back in its old place. This prediction
came true. and in that same year the
schooner Cramps. of the fisheries
bureau. caught few tileish on the old
grounds, although search had failed to
discover a single specimen during the
preceding ten years. Since then the
fish has multiplied until 1t is now as
numerous as ever. and the government

to examine the safe.

no marks anywhere about.
"It wasn't pried," DR.. Holmes told me

The safe was empty He ran his fingers

theft. We went back to the living-room
where Mrs. Gibson was awaiting US. and
DR.. Holmes asked TO be permitted to ex-
anime the servants. Was her instant OF
hesitation caused by unwillingness for
the investigation to go further? How
ever she gave orders for the servants to
be in readiness, and DR.. Holmes put most
of the fourteen men and women through
his questions with no results. The ex-
animation of Patrick Murphy. chauffeur.
seemed to be more satisfactory.
Did you drive any member OF the
household TO the city directly t!ter the
robbery" DR.. Holmes asked him.
'Yis. sor: | did be dhrivin' Mrs Glib

IL The bureau of fisheries at Wash
ington announces the rediscovery
of the long lost tilefsh of the
New England coast. and simultaneously
Uncle Sam issues a new cookbook filled
exclusively with recipes for preparing the
tiIefsh for the table so appetizingly that
he will leap into favor and threaten the
codfish's supremacy.
In lopholatilus chamoeleonticeps,
which is the biological name for the tile
fish, the government sees new source
of marine wealth for New England. The
fish. after an absence of thirty-three
years, is returning in great numbers to
the banks near the hundred fathom
curve" south OF Nantucket. Within
few days the bureau of fisheries expects
to give a practical demonstration to New
England fishermen how to capture the
fish in such numbers as to warrant the
immediate establishment of new COM
mercial fishery that will rival any in ex-
istence.
The story of the tileflsh is a deep sea
drama of intense interest to the lover of
