The vitality of some of our sea
creatures after docapitation is al
most beyond belief. \ large turtle
was once sent to a hotel in New
castle. The chef cut the turtles
head off and hung the body upside
down to bleed. Twentv-four hours
afterward the turtle had knocked
down a man cook with one blow Of
its fin. The green turtle is not a
vicious creature to handle. like its
swapping Japanese brother, but its
fins arc very strong, and ono
blow from them is quite sufficient
to break a mans arm. - London
