interesting jewellers in these waters. But
some of the local fishermen have warned
them of the dangers Of the octopus-the
"pienore," as the creature Is commonly
named in French.
This bay, according to naturalists, is the
favorite home of very large and dan
gerous variety of octopus. In order to
thrive. this sea monster needs deep hole
in the ocean bottom, where It is free from
intrusion by men and boats and violent
movements of the sea. There In the dark
depths 1t turks and breeds, feeding on
crabs and deep sea fish, and only occasion

chance brings the two together.
Thoughts of this grewsome peril we're
far from the minds of Mrs. Tattershall-
Dodd and three lovely young women COM
panions when they went bathing In the de-
iightful waters of st. Tropez Bay. After
a while they grew tired of swimming and
summed themselves on one OF the big
rocks.
Then Mrs. Tattershall-Dodd waded out
into the water again and left her three
companions little way behind
Suddenly she felt long, snakelike thong
throw itself about her right leg beneath
her bathing skirt and begin to work higher
and higher. At first she thought that It

RULES VERNE'S absorbing narrative Of
Captain Nemo's fight with the giant
octopus on his submarine Nautilus
has established for all time the devil
fish" as one Of the mysterious and most
repulsive creatures Of the sea.
And anybody who has read the tale OF
that battle With those powerful encircling
arms will appreciate the chill Of horror
which overcame Mrs. Tattorshail-Dodd as
she felt a stealthy grip on her leg below
the skirt of her bathing suit and peering
down into the water beheld the hideous
staring eyes Of an octopus.
Mrs. TattershallDodd Is an English
woman OF wellknown family living at
Tunbridge Wells, England, who has been
spending the Winter at Pardigon, near st.
Tropez, one Of the beauty spots or the
French Riviera. Pardigon lies on the
little bay Of St. Tropez, opening out OF the
Mediterranean, and enjoys a climate that
is nearly tropical. Owing to the position
Of the bay 1t is very calm and considerably
warmer than the outside sea. The water
OF the bay is exquisitely clear, as In 80
many warm latitudes, and swarms with
strange sea life. On its surface the beau
tiful iridescent dolphins play about, while
on the bottom are huge. fantastic crusta-
ceans. and even stranger animals.
Few of the gay pleasure seekers have
thought Of danger in connection with the
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1922-03-12

One of them, Mrs. Harold Wilson, by
good luck carried a small alpenstock,
stout stick with sharp iron point With
this she courageously struck at the black
body Of the strange creature that was At
lacking her friend.
In an instant the water all about was
filled with an inky black, evil smelling
devil fish blinds its enemies and renders
pursuit difficult. The devil fish was now
not only seeking It's prey, but was alarmed
and Infatuated.
In her desperation Mrs. Wilson had
driven her iron-pointed stick some inches
into the monster. In retaliation It threw
two of its deadly tentacles about her and
drew her also downward into the poisoned
black water.
Four women now struggled together
against the devil fish, Two Of them were
slowly succumbing to the dreadful en-
braces of its wrtthing tentacles. The
others formed chain to keep their friends
from being carried away. This combine
ton of forces held the octopus for some
minutes and was the means of saving Mrs.
Tattershall-D odd's life
They all screamed for help, but none
came Then they decided that the woman
nearest the beach should run for help.
As hard as she could she raced away to
a nearby fsherman's house. which was not
more than two hundred yards.
Quick! Quick" She cried. "A
woman is being drowned by q devil fish"
Three fishermen, who were drying their
nets, heard the call and knew at once
from long experience the terrible posi-
bilities Of the situation.
without an instant's loss Of time they
picked up axes, knives, long gaf with an
iron spike on the end. and q rope. They
ran as hard as they could to the spot where
the painting woman led them Even then
1t seemed hardly possible that they could
be In time to avert q tragedy.
When the fishermen ran into the sea
Mrs. Tattershull-Dod had Just fallen be-
meath the water. Her two friends, with
despair and agony on their faces, were at
their last gasp, seeking to pull her from
the Jaws Of death.
The leading fisherman, powerful young
man, drove his boathook straight into the

tunately she was not out of her depth, and
she stepped briskly back on the sandy
bottom toward the shore.
As she did so another snake-like feeler
was thrown around her left leg and she
found that that, too. was working upward
with devilish mahgnity to get possession
of her entire body. Mrs. Tattershall-Dodd
is a woman Of fine physique and high
courage and she scorned to scream for
help at the first thought of danger, as so
many women would have done.
Higher and higher, tighter and tighter
about the young woman wriggled the rnys-
FERROUS. uncanny arms.
Now she peered down into the water at
her feet and what she saw would have
caused fear even to a brave man. There
she beheld the malignant, terrifying, pupil
less, unblinking eyes Of an octopus, it's
cruel, parrot-like beak and its great
tentacles spread out around it in every
direction.
Even a. she looked the tentacles gripped
her more tightly and she could feel their
surfaces burning into her flesh like SER
penis fangs. She felt herself being rap
idly dragged toward the deeper water.
The realisation of her peril came over
Mrs. Tattershall-Dodd in q moment. She
called out to her friends:
Help! Help! am in great danger.
Send for help!"
The three women bravely waded
through the water to the help OF their
friend. As they came toward her she felt
the hrst two tentacles grip her around he
body. while two others shot out and
twined themselves about her legs as the
others had done at first.
She was dragged forward until her face
was nearly under water and would have
been instantly swept to her death II her
feet had not stumbled against rock with
rough surface. She held on to this, des-
perately, fighting Tor her life every second
against the thing that was dragging her

ut is an octopus devil fish," cried
Mrs. Tattershall-Dodd, with her head Just
above water. as her friends came to her
side.

recent encounters with this repulsive sea
creature that 1t is interesting to quote the
authors words:
Before my eyes was the horrible mon
ster," says the explorer who tells the story.
ut was an immense devil fish. eight yards
long. Its eight arms or, rather, feet, fixed
to its head were twice as long as its body.
Immediately one Of these arms slid like q
serpent down the opening and twenty
others were above With one blow of tho
axe Captain Memo cut this formidable tan
tacle that slid wriggling down the ladder.
Just as we were pressing, one on the
other, to reach the platform, two other
arms. lashing the air, came down on the
lifted him with irresistible power. Captain
Memo uttered a cry and rushed out. We
hurried after hum.
What scene! The unhappy man.
seized by the tentacle and fixed to the
suckers, was balanced in the air ut the
caprice Of this enormous trunk. Captain
Memo had rushed to the polyp, and with
one blow Of the axe had cut through one
arm. His lieutenant struggled furiously
against other monsters that crept on the
tanks of the NAUTILUS. The crew fought
with their axes. The Canadian, Conseil.
and / buried our weapons In the heshy
masses; strong smell OF musk penetrated
the atmosphere. It was HORRIBLE!
For one instant I thought the unhappy
man entangled with the polyp would be
torn from Its powerful suction. Seven of
the eight arms had been cut or One only
wriggled in the air, brandishing the victim
like feather. But Just as Captain Memo
and his lieutenant threw themselves on II
the animal elected stream OF black LIQUID
We were blinded with It. When the cloud
dispersed the cutie fish had disappeared,
and my unfortunate countryman with It."
The devil fish Is one Of the riddles Of
creation. With its grotesque. almost un.
natural shape, and its cruel ways, II Is said
to have considerable intelligence. II cares

avoids capture with much cleverness.

body Of the sea monster. Purple blood now
mingled with the inky water.
The octopus now flung all its available
tentacles upon the fisherman, releasing the
women. His companions with their knives
hacked through the powerful, writing,
snake-like arms at the base. Even then 1t
was a savage fight for the three fishermen.
The wounded octopus gashed them with
its teeth and its saw-edged tongue.
Again and again the wounded mons
ter struck out with its complete tentacles
and with the stumps of the amputated ones.
With their boathook and their knives and
axes the fishermen at last beat the life out
Of It and dragged 1t ashore.
Mrs. Tatterrhall-Dodd was carried away
unconscious and with difficulty restored.
The deadly menace Of the octopus In the
Mediterranean is o wellestablished fact.
Country Life, the wellknown English pub
LEGATION, recently spoke OF Its attacks on
fishermen In the same region as that In
which Mrs. TattershallDodd nearly per-
ished. This periodical thus described an
attack:
''The octopus, with his soft body tucked
away in the Granny of the submerged rect,
ished with four or Ave arms for his prey
and would use his other limbs as means
of anchoring himself. Even though the
victim proved lively and strong, the octo-
pus was thus. with the good purchase he
had upon the rock, virtually master Of the
situation, and wrapping his sucker-like
arms around the diving or swimming boat
man could eventually drown him."
The octopus recently killed at st. Tropez
measured twenty-five feet across. Its eight
arms were each covered with a hundred
sucker-like pads the size Of silver dollar.
When the pad comes in contact with an
object its surface is drawn in so as to
create vacuum.
The suckers thus lay hold Of their VIC
tim with q grip that cannot be broken ex-
cept by chopping Of the whole tentacle.
The devil fshs method Of attack has
been so well described in Jules verne's
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the
Sea" and the episode resembles SO closely

Casey Stengel is out for the rest of

from the camp of the Giants as they
prepared to take the field against the
Yankees in the third game of the world
series at the Polo Grounds yesterday.
Stengel's bad leg was black and blue

himself was blue all over. His loss no
doubt will handicap the Giants, who
will miss his hitting in pinch.
John McGraw did not know whether
to start John Scott or Hughie Nc
