Open SEASON ON FOR
SEA SERPENT tales
Rhinoceros Hunter Tells of
Seeing Monster on Trip
from Africa
SAYS 1T WAS AT
LEAST $50 FEET LONG

NEW YORK, June i3.-The first real
sea serpent story since the beginning Of
lLe great war was brought here yester-
day by Ethelbert G.. FOtherlngay, who
has been In Africa for the last two
years collecting rhlnoceros hides and
ivory nuts for Chicago importing
firm. He was somewhat dlsinclined to
tell the sea serpent tale because OF the
skeptical manner in which Il was re-
celved by his friends in Cape Town. Mr..
Fotheringay, who Is a tall, bronzed man
with the burned-eye expression OF those
who have lived on the desert sands
under a tropical sun, ssid that he saw
the serpent three months ago while
travelling from Swakopmund, formerly
German Southwest Africa, TO Cape
Town.
81 was on board the old African
steamship Lum-Lum, which carried a
Chinese crew with Dutch officers and
was commanded by Captain Johann Van
den Woof, one OF the oldest skippers
on the coast, a lifelong teetotaler and
a Baptist. There was only one other
white passenger besides myself, Guy de
Jollpas, the famous French gorilla
hunter, and about 200 Hottentots and
kafflrs.
IL was a sweltering afternoon, Mr..
F0theringay continued, "and the ship
was about $50 miles northwest Of Cape
Town. The temperature was i05 In the
shade, with a copper-colored sky and
the sea like boiled oil. Guy, the gorilla
hunter, had just thrown chatty at
the head Of Oolu, the Hottenbot cabin
boy, because he had brought him a bot
tie OF beer without ice, when | heard a
wild yell from the deck and s3w the
panic stricken natives trying to get
down the after hatch. Looking over
the port side, | saw the weirdest mon
ster that one could possibly imagine,
afloat or ashore. When tell you calm
ly that the head OF this snlmal. which
realized at once was the sea serpent Of
the anclents. was as large as a good
sized pork barrel lido not exaggerate. |
refer TO the ordinary 2OO-pound barrel
and not 10 the tierce OF beef which Is
usually $50 pounds or more.
"The sea serpents head was about
eight feet above the suhface OF the sea
and about three feet across in the
widest part. Its face was covered with
bristly spikes, which stuck out at an
giles and the large round eyes gazed
curiously at the steamship in a re-
proachful manner, as II the noise Of the
propeller had disturbed its afternoon
siesta.
"The neck was not more than twelve
/ inches in diameter and was partly
: hidden by dark, hard-loohng barnacles.
| could not say exactly how long the
sea serpent was, but judging by the
last ripple when II moved. ! think $50
feet would be about the mark. Captain
Van der WOof was very much excited

az he stood with his big telescope on
the bridge examining the marine mon
ster, 'Gott fur dlcker. he shouted, this
was the big sea serpent the old Danish
skipper Jensen reported three months
ago at Cape Town and the people said
he was crazy.
"The Captain gave orders to the
officer on watch to steam around the
sea serpent carefully and get as close
as the ship could go without rushing
into needless danger. Five times the
Lum-Lum oircumnavigated the sea
monster. which turned It's massive head
slowly and regarded the vessel with a
wistful look as II he wanted 10 speak
10 us and tell about his travels around
the world. No one had q camera on
board, and the finest chance to snap
the sea serpent was lost. Guy, the hunt
er, had one when we left Swakopmund,
but he broke IL on 0olu's head two
hours llter and threw the debris over
side He fired his express rifle at the
monster several times and the skipper
peppered away from the bridge with an

Finally the Captain gave orders 10
resume the course. and the Lum-Lum
steamed away for Cape Town. The last
we saw OF the sea serpent astern was
the great barrel-shaped head wagglng
slowly up and down, followed by big
commotion in the water, and then he
disappeared beneath the surface. Judg-
ing by the course taken, the serpent
was going at an easy thirty-knot gait
toward the Blight OF Benin"
On arrival ct Cape Town, Mr.. Foth-
eringay said that Jne report OF the
sighting Of the sea serpent. which had
been duly recorded In the log Of the
Ium-Lum, was treated in the same in
credulous manner as that made by the
Danish captain three months previous
ly on oath. He added that the African
Coast abounded with strange marine
and a diver OF Swakopmund
had terrific fight under water with a
devilnsh which had tentacles thirty
