Fish Stories.— In our issue of the 23d 
instant we gave an extract from the Paris 
True Kentuckian, to the effect that "a fish 
duck had been killed recently with eleven 
fish in its stomach, the united weight of 
which was over two pounds.” An old gen- 
tleman of eighty-six, who for many years 
followed the occupation of a fisherman and 
E ilot, says that some years ago, at Nantucket, 
e saw seven shoal ducks taken from the stom- 
ach of a monk fish that was not over three 
feet long. The ducks were fresh, and must 
have been captured by the fish within a few 
hours, probably while they were diving for 
mussels. These ducks generally uverage 
from three to four pounds, undressed. 
The same gentleman says he once caught 
a halibut that had the tails of six dogfish 
protruding from its mouth when taken on 
board the smack. But the strangest story 
remains to lie told. Some fifty years ago 
Capt. Eben Gardner, of Nantucket, was, in 
company with a number of others, fishing 
for codfish off 'Sconset, and lost overboard 
an open jack knife, on the handle of which 
his name was cut. The water where it was 
lost was some seventy or eighty feet deep. 
When the boats bad landed on the shore, 
and the fish were being dressed, the iden- 
tical knife, lost some hours previously, was 
foun 1 in the stomach of a cod, caught from 
a boat that had been fishing at some distance 
from Capt. Gardner . — Boston Traveller.
