the hands OF one his captors, DR..
]. A. Hockaday.
After the operation he was
taken back To the water again.
placed in a shallow pool securely
tied, to be kept until Sunday
morning when some porpoise rid
ers will attempt to ride him.
This was a strange fight, and
successful one.
Friday Dr. Hockaday aboard Bill
Pattee's Upper sailed forth with
the cameraman IN quest Of the
porpoiSe. Two Of them were har-
pooned, but one went under the
boat and cut the line, and the
other tore loose.
Small darts similar TO sword
fish darts we're used. They we're
placed on the end Of a long shaft.
and we're tied to a regulation
heavy tackle fishing line, on rod
and reel.
When the dart was sent home,
the shaft slipped free, and then
the battle was on, the angler
working against n Of the biggest
kandicapS in the sport-having
the fish hooked in the back in
stead Of In the mouth.
For six hours DR.. Hockaday. Bill
Pattee, G.. @. Burk Of the MiSsou-
ri Pacific, and "Swanie" Swanne-
carr. took turns at handling the
rod and reel while the porpoise
sounded, travelled, rolled and
fou-ht a battle that surpassed that
of almost any other fish.
Finally the big mammal was
brought in alongside, and Pattee
stepped out to tie a half-hitch
OH his tail. The porpoise gave q
flip that knocked Pattee fifteen
feet from the boat. 1t was an ex-
citing moment while he was get
ting back aboard with the porpoise
lashing around.
As soon as the porpoise was
brought IN he was rolled out on
shore and the emergency opera
ton started. DR.. Hockaday brought
one of the darts out through the
opening made where 1t entered.
but the other one had to be push
ed all the way through the NAM
mails back. All the time the OPP
Grafton was going on, ice was
being rubbed on the wounds to
keep down bleeding. and DR.. Hook
aday closed the wounds much as
he would have done In an ordin-
airy operation.
The pcrpoise took 1t fairly well.
blowing occasionally through the
breather cap on top OF its head.
The porpoise is much stranger
appearing than the fleeing Gimp
ses Of him as be rolls In the
water indicate His mouth or beak
Is pointed, and Is something IKE
that Of an ant eater. He has a
pinkish, spotted hue on the under
Sic, and decidedly black on the
back, and is heavy for his length
It's one had enough strength
left 10 give a couple Of hefty
fins when he was put back In a
car to be taken from the "operat-
ing table" to his temporary pool.
II the porpoise Is In shape, the
porpoise riding event win be stag
ed Sunday morning. and moving
pictures of 1t win be made
