The only monster that Along The
Cape Fear can lay claim to is the
whale that washed ashore on
Wrightsville Beach.
At present the most pubIicized
such denizen Of the deep is the
Monster of Lake Como in Italy.
This green and black-striped
monster has been variously de-
scribed as being IL to 40 yards
long, with fiery eyes, green scales
or skin and black stripes down his
body.
So regular had become the ap-
pearances of the Como Kid that
one Of the chief sports this fall in
that Lake region was monster
hunting. Fishermen and volunteer
hunting parties from the towns Of
Gera, Colico and Poina search the
lake day and night with all sorts
OF weapons, from shotguns to
pitchforks.
Just recently the Italian imagi.
nations were set ablaze when one
daring hunter reported that not
only had he seen the monster but
that n shot from his trusted
musket had taken effect. That was
all that was needed to have dredge
barges set sail in hope that the
wounded creature could be captur-

There is no need for us to tell
