WITH A DEVIL FISH
| NEW ORLEANS PARTY HAS EX-
CITING ADVENTURE.
SHOTS AROUSE THE GIANT
| Yacht Is Followed Stuggishly by
| Creature, and Bullets Fired Make
Little Impression on the
Monster.
— The sensation in the
fishing worid recently was the expe
rience four sporismen had with =a
devil fish off Horn island
During the week the big power
yacht Jeanne, owned Ly Commodore
Thomas Sully, with John P. Sullivan,
Phil Werleln and Ned Rightor as
guests, ran out to Horn island for &
few days fishing They had all the
sport they wanted with mackerel and
pull redfish, and early one Sunday
morning started for the eastward pass
of Deer island and Biloxi bay
They had traveled possibly three of
four miles from the {sland when, just
ahead of the yacht they saw some
thing on the surface of the sound
which looked like a glant turtle. The
course of the yacht was changed sO
as to overhaul this strange creature,
and when the boat peared the fish
"the engines were slowed down and
stopped
The yacht came up close to the fish,
which proved to be the largest devil
fish ever seen in that section Dur-
ing jast summer a number of these
monsters, sometimes called the
blanket fish, have been seen, but
they were not longer than five or six
feet
This monster measured In the
neighborhood of 15 feet in length, and
was fully seven or eight feet broad.
When the nose of the fish was
aslongside the step of the yacht, Its
tail was just opposite the foremast,
a distance of over 15 feet, but, to
make the measurement reasonable,
the sportsmen came to the council
sion that they would give the fish 15
feet as 8 fair measurement
Commodore Sully secured an im
proved Winchester and went on top
of the pilot house to get a good
shot The fish was lylng very near
the surface, and did not seem to
pay the slightest attention to the boat
and its occupants. Two shols were
fired in rapid succession, but they did
not seem to bother the fish in the
Jeast
When the shots were fired the
giant sank slowly and came up again
a few feet further A dozen
more shots were fired from the rifle,
but no impression was made Fully
half an hour the yacht lay to while its
occupants tried all kinds of means to
wake up the monster of the sea
Werlein finally grabbed a long boat.
hook and wanted to tle a line to the
New Orleans
ahead
— -
The Shots Had No Effect on the Fish.
handle and harpoon the fish, but the
others were not exactly certain as
to the results of such an experiment,
and would not listen to Werlein.
Finally the yacht got under way
again, and the devil fish, with a [lew
lazy waves of its giant tentacles,
dropped In behind and followed the
boat for fully haifa mile, Then it disap
peared
A few weeks ago W. C. C. Claiborne
and several other fishermen returned
with a story about three devil fish
seen at the island, but their story
was taken with a large grain of salt
Claiborne has a reputation for story
telling, but his tale is followed up
pow by this experience, and the
sportsmen are wondering i a big
yacht, with pleaty of harpoons on
board might not furnish a lot of lively
sport to the sportsmen
