An officer of the Sierra, who knows a thing or two about fish, caught a couple of the flying variety lately, and told the steward to put them in spirits to preserve them, intending to send them to the museum of his college. The fish were cooked by accident, and eaten.

They agree that the fish are quite unique specimens.
