Monster of the Ocean.
A most remarkable monster of a
fish was caught a few days ago in
Bay Adam, an inlet of the gulf on
the lower roast, writes the New Or-
leans Times-Democrat. Natives of
th vicinity call the monster a devil
fish, but this is only because no
other name more appropriate could
be conceited on short notice.
It is necessary to be singularly
plain and modest in describing this
wonderful creature in order that the
scientific world may have a clear-
cut idea of it.
By actual weight the monster
scaled one hundred pounds. Its
head was like that ot a turtle, ex-
cept that its under lip protruded in
a pronounced pout, like the lip of
an angrf rhinoceros.
Its body was black, something
like the body of a bat. Pendent to
this body and used by the monstei
for flight when it is pursued l >
shades were black bat y wings, show,
ing faint polka dots of bluish hue.
The tail of the fish or bat-beast was
something like that of a stinga-
ree.
When caught a number of small
fish were found spitted t>i 1 his sling
or dagger, as liver and bacon are
spitted with a stick.
It is presumed that the monster
was keeping them there until he be-
came hungry enough to eat them,
for he really did not bite on the line
but was? h.;o'~ett by accident in the
top of the head.
Finally, the tongue of this most
extraordinary creature was found
to be thrse inches long and as hard
as flint. It fitted against a similar
hard substance in the upper part of
the inouth. Aith this he ground
fish or oysters into fine fragments.
Shells and bones could not stand
against this grinding motion.
It is stated by fishermen that the
noi e made by the meeting of the
upper jaw and tongue causes such
terror to little fish that they are de-
prived of motion and easily cap*
tured.
Men who have studied fish deeply
are at a loss how to properly clas-
sify the new monster. When cut to
pieces the flesh of the monster was
found to be very fresh and savory
and pleasant to the palate of man
or beast. The meat resembled
beefsteak and tasted something like
lamb chops,
