MENCAPTURE
SEA MONSTER
Three-Hour Battle In
Small Boat Ends AS
Bullet Kills Fish
Caught In Net

After a thrilling three-hour battle,
in which their little shrimp boat
was at times almost thrown out Of
the water, a party of five San Be
nito men succeeded Sunday in shoot
ing a swordfish that weighed close
to a ton.
The fish was caught in a shrimp
net, which was being pushed along
by the sailboat Peggy" belonging
to N. G. Chatelle OF San Benito.
Chatelle, accompanied by Dorsey
Cott, Milton Pupkin, Miles Estes
and Leslie Boiling, all of San Be-
nito, was seining for shrimp, when a
haul on the net revealed the huge
projecting point of a swordfish.
A battle ensued, the fishermen at
tempting to land the sea monster
alive.
After three hours of the eneoun-
ter, in which the net was almost
riddled and the boat battered
around at times by the twists Of the
swordfish, the sword threatening to
puncture the hull, the fish was pull
ed up far enough to be shot.
The fish was IS feet in length,
and the huge saw, which was four
feet long was Is inches in width
at the base.
In the first wild plunges Of the
huge monster both its sword and
tail became entangled in the net,
and the fishermen state that this
prevented the escape. They had no
weapon in the boat or other means
Of killing the fish, and after three
hours Of strenuous work managed
to drag il to a pier at Point Isabel.
Here a large rifle was secured and
the fish shot through the head, its
death convulsions being so great
