Sea Monster of Vancouver
Just a Large Sea Lion?

VICTORIA, B. G. Q.NS0
With the death Of a ferociouS-look-
ing sea lion in the waters Of Cor
dova Bay, stories of the giant sea.
serpent, "Cadborosauras," which
has supposedly been haunting the
waters of Vancouver Island, have
suddenly ceased and people are
beginning to wonder.
There are many witnesses,
veracity unquestioned, who stoutly
maintain seeing the throwback Of
ancient sea monsters thresh its 40
to 80.foot length through the sea.
They described a head like a
camel" and a body four feet thick
which cork-Screwed through the
waves in the most approved sea-
serpent fashion.
So when Mrs. Thomas Julland,
Of Avalon, Vancouver Island, saw
a large bewhiSkered head mounted
on a sleek and Sizeable neck cruiS-
ing near shore, she believed the
creature was "CadborosauraS."
She called her husband.
Eleven Bullets Fired
Jalland got his rifle and fired.
The first bullet tore away q sec
tion of the creatures tusk. Bel
lowing and roaring with pain, it
started for shore but Jalland stood
his ground. Eleven bullets sent
through the animals head and
neck failed to stop it's course until
it reached shallow water when a
bullet pierced it's brain. The ami
NAL was brought ashore for in
Spection.
The specimen proved to be
large female sea lion, measuring
nine feet across from tip to tip
of it's flippers. It was eleven feet
in length and weighed three-quar-
ters Of a ton.
Arrayed against the theory that
Jalland's sea lion is "Caddy" the
serpent, is the testimony Of q
score Of witnesses who solemnly
declare the creature was no ordi-
nary mammal.
Although descriptions varied as
to length, thickness and color. all
were in accord that the animal
had "camel-like" head and q
thick sleek neck.
How Serpent Looks
Most prominent among Cad
dv'S" hackers are Major w. H.
Langley, clerk of the legislative
assembly and wellknown barris-
ter, and F. w. Kemp, an official
of the provincial library.
Kemp was picnicking with his
wife and 16-year-old son on Chath-
am Island when he saw "Caddy."
He said:
'T observed a heavy wash
coming down the gulf from
the north. I paid no attention
at first, thinking it was just
The Washington times., 1934-03-01

q tiderip. Then I was amazed
to observe huge coils come out
on the top of the water like
q snake.
Judging by logs lying in
the water nearby the total
length Of these coils must
have been at least 80 feet, and
they were five feet thick,
should think. They came twist
ing out Of the water so high
that could see light under
them. They seemed a blush
green but shOne in the sun
like aluminium. The rear part
Of the creature was Serrated
with prOtuberances like dOrSa1
fins. The extreme end thraShed
about in the water like q pro-
peIIer.
DUMB WITH ABATEMENT
"My wife and son both saw
it and stood dumb with amaze
ment. Then, to our horror, the
thing rushed up to a high
rock and thrust its great head
and neck full ten feet out of
the water and waved it about
as If it were getting its bear
ings. Tt was some 500 yards
away and l could not see the
exact shape Of its head, but it
was much thicker than the
body"
Major Langley confirmed
Kemp'S story.
Ellwood White, young fisher
man, trolling for spring salmon
near Chatham Island, and a
dozen residents of Pender Island,
including Justice of the Peace
Frank G. F. Parkyn and Cyril
B. Andrews, who made an ,!ffi-
davit of the "Serpent'S" appear

Congress Fight Seen
Meanwhile permanent air mail
legislation began to- meet rough

ton that stiff debates will take
place before a national policy is
agreed upon.
The House PoStoffice Commit
tee, after seemingly having &C.
cepted the revised Kelly bill, found
some OF its members in open
revolt with the results that further
discussion must come before the
measure reaches the floor.
The controversy is whether con-
tracts shall be awarded by COM
petitive bidding or on the present
train-mail basis Of assignment by
the Postmaster General.
Will Ask Rulings
Administration leaders also
intend within q day or two to
take numerous airmail legislation
