ited tho government works nt tho en
trance of the bay, recently, nud milked
out to tho end of tho jetty in company
with Arthur Bridges nud auother young

There his attention was attracted by
the seaserpent in quoition which wns
disporting itself in tho water a thort
distance further ont toward the bar.
It had a hfad resembling that of n
senl and a sleuder taieriug neck about
three feet Ions. Just back of tho nock
and on top of tho body a largo fore-and-aft
fin projected upward aud n little for
ward, The body was aboot fcur feet
in diameter. The creaturo would raise
its head high nud look around, inspect
ing the scenery, then dive throwing
its tail oat of water, so that tho specta
tors could get n good view of its shape
and 'dimensions.
In hope of securing the creature as n
contribution to the science of natural .
history, Mr. Lilienthal took n shot at it
with a 30-30 rifle, and Bridges, who wns
watching with n powerful glass, says
hat the shot took effect in the neck.
The serpent went under water at once
and did not reappear.
