devi1fish, hitting the huge creature,
which weighed many tons, just two
inches from the spot Indicated on q
drawing by Coles, and driving the
spear two feet four inches through the
heaviest and boniest structure OF the
ash. The colonel was standing on the
cab of a small boat travelling nine miles
an hour. and the fish was coming to-
ward the boat at the rate Of Is or Is
miles an hour, swimming about four
or six feet under water. Had the
colonel missed his aim the fish would
have been able with one of its side
fins. to upset the boat and drown the
fishermen. An hour after his first
