Capt. Thompson'n deep Sea Ays-
terry" Is In port agatni
Under the command of Capt. L. Ia
tum. the TamiaIni. the renowned
floating museum" with the biggest
fish ever captured aboard, came into
the harbor yesterday afternoon about
four o'clock and tied up on the east
side of Jefferson street wharf to I'M
dergo repairs to her engines and take
on supply of fuel oil.
The Deep Sea Mystery" is the
monster fish that was caught off the
southern coast of Florida in June,
1912. by Capt. Charles Thompson, who
with two Of his friends was fishing
for tarpon in small boat About
four years ago the fish was exhibited
in Pensacola, and the hundreds who
viewed It with anazement will re-
member the immensely of the huge
monster. 1t was at that time being
carried from Miami to the various
ports along the gulf coast and up the
Mississippi river to the Greta Lakes.
Thousands of people have seen it
since it has been on exhibition.
Peep at Wonder.
For the last three or four years
Capt. Thompson's huge specimen has
been on exhibit at the numerous towns
and cities along the great river, but
is now being carried back down to
Miami, having arrived from New Or
leans yesterday afternoon.
A Journal reporter, upon learning
that the Tamiami was in port and
that there was an extraordinary big
fish" on her, HE'D down to get a peep
at the wonder.
He bounded up the gangpIank and
announced to the captain, Mr.. Tatum,
that he was here" for the express
purpose 70 seeing what was to be
seen, and to write it up"
We'll" he said, I'VE did not enter
here for the purpose of exhibiting, but
don't suppose there'll be any objec-
ton to you looking over the display"
Great "What-is-It?"
Accompanied by Capt. Tatum the
reporter first viewed the Deep Sea
his description as to the size of the
big UNI. From the tip of his, nose.
if you would call it that, to the end
of his tail the monster is as feet over
all; is 23 feet in circumference, and
at the time 1t was caught weighed
sc, 1000 pounds, or Is tons. OF course,
1t is in a state of preservation now,
having been treated by experts. and
would weigh considerably less than
that now If placed on the scales.
Only One of Kind.
The Tamiami, not q small boat It
self, was built for the sole purpose OF
transporting Capt. Thompson's catch.
So far as is able to ascertain this is
the only fish of It's kind ever to be
caught, and is of a species entirely
unknown to the scientific world. At
tempts have been to classify it, but so
far all efforts have proven futile, as
no records of others OF it's kind can be
unearthed. Newspapers and maya
zines all over the world have carried
page after page OF feature articles tell
ing of its size, who caught it. how it
was caught, and other details about

DEEP SEA MYSTERY THE BIGGEST
.SAURIAN EVER CAUGHT, AND OTHER
HERE ON THE TAMIAMI

We're off the shores OF Florida fishing
for tarpon when they spied the mon
ster. At first they thought it was a
whale, but remembering that It was
not customary for whales TO soJourn
in tropical waters they could arrive
at no definite conclusion. However,
the captain Is an ardent sportsman
and his only desire right then was TO
land that unknown specimen" They
shot the harpoons to him, and the
fight that ensued lasted 81 hours.
Hauled on Beach.
Several times it seemed as il the
monster would upset the fran craft
and send its crew over the route
which Jonah travelled, but finally they
managed to kill him. He was later
hauled out on the beach at Miami and
during the several days which he was
allowed to remain there thousands of
people from all sections of the coun-
try travelled theme to witness the
spectacle. Its history since that time
has been told in printers ink and on
newsprint in practically every publ
cation of any size in the country.
Other Specimens.
''The Deep Sea Mystery" is not the
only thing to be seen on the Tamiami.
There are hundreds of other speci-
mems caught from the deep, too num-
erous to mention. There are alliga-
tors, some dead and preserved, and
others that could break a fellows leg
at one swish of their tail; there are
deep sea, turtles, and u thousand and
one different species of fish from the
size of mere minnow to a man-eat-
ing shark II feet long, all in 81 state
of preservation. There is also va
ried assortment of sea shells, weeds
and evidences of the sea in general.
Mummy 2GOo Years Old.
Just where Capt Thompson ac-
CURED them was not learned by the
journal representative, but one thing
that particularly occupied his atten-
ton was carving and mummy TAX
en- from the cataconlbs of Egypt at
Cairo. The idol or whatever it was
designed to be, is the image Of per-
son carved from cypress in the crude
ness of the ancient Egyptians, but at
that 1t is a fair likeness so far as IA
cial outline is concerned. It is over
1000 years old.
Creepy Feeling.
When Capt. Tatum raised the lid
from the coffin, Or sarcophagus, to
permit the reporter to get a fuller
view of the petrified Egyptian there
was a kind of creepy feeling about the
whole proposition. However, he be-
came reconciled to the creepiness of
feeling and began to fire questions in
regard to the ancient specimen. He
was informed that according to arch
biologists il Is 2,0o0 years old.
The reporter did not doubt it in the
least. It is said that the Egyptians
5000 years ago considered it a great
honor to have their bodies embalmed
or mummified, and that they even
went so far sometimes as to sell them
selves into slavery in order that they
might have their own or their parents
bodies treated properly after death.
But according to an inscription on
one of the exhibits this is now a lost
art.
AS soon as the engines Of the Ia
miami are repaired she will proceed
to the city of Miami itself. Capt Ia
tum announced that he would prob
ably sail about Saturday.
