the most respectable witnesses, that (the speculations 
of some naturalists to the contrary notwithstanding) 
it hardly seemed possible to doubt it. Almost every 
season, rumor is alive about his appearance in some 
bay, cove, or channel, down east and “ along shore 
and the story comes accredited by the most positive 
declarations of the most trustworthy people. On 
Saturday last, it seems, he made his second appear¬

His exhibition was witnessed by eight or ten specta¬ 
tors, one of whom, a gentleman of our acquaintance, 
on the carefulness of whose observation we implicitly 
rely, gives an account of his appearance, which re¬

monster. He says that he was distinctly observed at 
a distance of three or four hundred yards, and ap¬ 
peared to be about one hundred and fifty feet in length. 
He was dark in color, and presented a number of 
protuberances along his back, thirty or forty of which 
were counted. These protuberances appeared to be 
a foot in size. Near his head appeared what re¬ 
sembled a horn or fin. The view was distinct, and 
continued fifteen minutes, while the animal coursed 
slowly along parallel to the beach. That these ap¬ 
pearances were presented by one and the same ani¬ 
mal, our informant has no doubt whatever. When 
first observed, the animal was making for the beach, 
and having arrived at a certain point, suddenly turned, 
and with a continuity of motion which could not 
have been occasioned by a shoal of fish. The im¬ 
pressions received by our informants were nearly 
those of every gentleman present; all of whom are 
willing to attest to their belief in the facts substan¬ 
tially as above stated. — Newbury port Herald .
