Early one morning, when we were anchored about one mile off Madeira Hammoclv in Barnes 

 Sound, we saw a crocodile swimming near the schooner. We chased the creature with a skiff and got 

 one shot with the harpoon, but it was a case of projectile ffrsus armor and the armor won 



A Florida crocodile on the schooner bound for New York.— This is one of the pair of specimens 

 caught in the Madeira Hammock and sent alive to the New York Zoological Park, March 1. 1906
