Alligators move rapidly under water,

One afternoon in the t'beesebowlts-
kse river I harpooned a large alligator
which towed me up and down the
stream for an hour or two and then
sulked lu its deepest part. I pulled on
the Hue until the boat was directly
over him and stirred him up with the
harpoon pole. He rolled himself up on
the llue lu the manner peculiar to
afaarka and alligators and banged the
boat suggestively. We rowed to the
bank and. making fast to some bushes,
hauled ou the line until we succeeded
in worrying him nearly to the l>ost,

pelled the attack with harpoon pole
and rifle. The former was promptly
bitten In three pieces, but the latter ap
parently finished him. It was so nearly
dark that we decided to carry him in
the skiff a mile down the river to where
our sloop was anchored. We broke the
seats out of the boat and together man

aboard aud tie It. We theu tied the
other end. when the reptile came to
life and lauded a blow with his tall

my ride had fortunately been left upon
the bank, I was able to kill the alliga

the boat under him and then balling It
out. The alligator completely tilled the
boat, so that my companion and I sat
upon bls back as we paddled down the
river with gunwales unpleasantly near
the water.
It was growing dark, and the water
around us was becoming alive with
alligators. While we were reflecting
upon our overloaded condition our alli

boat, only to see It again disturbed and
to ship more water. A scramble for the
shore followed, which we reached with

him. In the morning our buzzard
