in the Indian Ocean, comes the
tale of a sea monster at least 30
feet long, a creature with huge
coils on the top of the water, coils
five feet thick and at least 80
feet long.
They seemed to startled seamen
blush green in color, glistening
like polished aluminium. The
extreme end of this remarkable
reptile threshed about in the
water like the propeller Of a ship.
Then it went racing away, leaving
behind it a great wash and wake
of white foam.
SEA SERPENT
The most famous of all such
yarns is the experience, in 1848, Of
the officers and crew of the Brit
iSh warship DaedaluS. They saw
a great serpent, at least so feet
long, swim past their ship while
they were off the west coast OF
Africa.
Capt. Peter M'Quhae and no less
than 100 of his officers and sea-
men saw that strange thing close
at hand, and the captain entered
it all in the ships log, writing a
precise and circumStantlal account
for the records of the British
admiralty. And British Seamen
do not supply romantic fiction to
the lords of the admiralty.
And on the seventh day OF
December, 1908, two members OF
the British Geological Society,
Mr.. Meade Waldo and Mr.. Nicoll,
men of exact, scientific turn Of
mind, had a strange experience
while on the yacht Valhalla off
the coast of Brazil.
At 1918 o'clock in the morn
ing they glimpsed, 100 yards from
the sh'n. lat fin projecting
from the water.
Wnen MA. 4,4eade Waldo turned
his binoculars on the creature,
he made out clearly that its neck,
now risen above the surface OF
the sea, was of the thickness OF
mans body and seven or eight
feet in length, and the head.
turtle-like, was enormous. The
creature was moving slowly but
soon disappeared.
Science doubts that any Of the
great Serpents have survived, but
it does not utterly deny that
they do exist.
