ists, and one or two possessed well-cul- 
tivated voices. My companion, Judge 
Longworth, having a remarkable mem- 
ory, could recite many of the entire 
poems of Tennyson, Sir Walter Scott, 
Tom Moore, Longfellow and others, and 
the company never tired of Locksley 
Hall, Lady of the Lake, the Wreck of 
the Hesperus, Horatius at the Bridge, 
Marmion and others. I did my bit of 
legerdemain and comic songs with imi- 
tations and together we rendered some 
of Stephen Collins Foster’s matchless 
melodies, in which, to our surprise, some 
of the company joined. 
The sea was comparatively smooth 
and the weather bright and balmy with 
moderate breezes. We seemed to have 
the road to ourselves as we seldom sight- 
ed a vessel of any kind, so that some 
nights the port and starboard lights 
were not displayed. We were accom- 
panied daily by schools of flying-fishes 
which were disturbed by the prow of the 
ship as it cut through the water. They 
sailed along with us, being pursued, 
meanwhile, by crested dolphins. I had 
unusual opportunities for observing the 
so-called “flying” of these fish with the 
help of an opera-glass, and viewing them 
through the port-hole of my cabin. There 
were several species, none of them, how- 
ever, exceeding a foot in length. 
The tail of the fish, being forked, its 
action was not unlike that of the propel- 
ler-screw of a vessel, but in reality was 
more like that of the blade of a sculling 
oar. The necessary force and momen- 
tum for the flight of the fish were exerted 
by the tail just before the fish left the 
water, when with an initial velocity of 
considerable force it shot upward into 
the air, and at the same instant the 
long wing-like pectoral fins were spread, 
and the fish soared and sailed two or 
three feet above the surface of the water 
in a way that would remind one, at this 
day, of the flight of a miniature mono- 
plane airship. Its speed was as great 
as that of the ship, and its flight was 
sustained for a distance as great as 
three times its length, or a quarter of 
a mile. At times its tail was dipped 
into the crest of a wave, and by its rapid 
motion its flight was renewed and accel- 
erated. During the flight there was no 
perceptible movement of the pectoral or 
ventral fins; they were held stiff and 
motionless. The pectoral fins when at 
rest are very long, reaching from the 
shoulders almost to the tail. 
In the warm seas of the world, ever 
restless and flitting like sea-birds, are 
more than fifty, or to be exact, nearly a 
hundred species of flying-fishes. Most 
of them are small and interesting, but 
not to be compared with those of our 
own coasts. Those that I have seen in 
the Mediterranean and Black seas were 
about half the size of those of the At- 
lantic and Pacific, and their flight was 
comparatively short. The California 
flying-fish is used as bait for the tuna, 
spearfish and other large fishes about 
Santa Catalina and other islands off the 
coast of southern California. The 
Malolo, a flying-fish of Hawaii, like 
most of the fishes of the coral reefs, is 
the most beautiful of all in its ornate 
tunic of silver trimmed with yellow, pink 
and blue.
