British warship Ardeola short time
ago The Ardeo!a was homeward
bound and gas of the Canary Islands

observed. They were apparently in
full fight from some deep sea enemy
and travelling rapidly. As the ship
met and passed them several few on
board and were seized by tie crew as
welcome additions TO the mess. One
OF the fish measured 10 inches; the
largest flying fish ever seen before the
Ardeola's catch have never exceeded
10 inches. The big one was fried for
