MONSTER SEA SERPENT.
Diver’s Exciting Experience.
Nkwport (R. 1.), May 28,
The seamen gunners of the naval torpedo station were engaged in diving practice to-day, and Seaman Gunner Charles A. Brown was walking about the bottom of Narragansett bay near the lighthouse of Goat Island when he saw what he declares was an immense sea serpent hugging the path along the breakwater.
It bad seven trailers, each about twenty feet long, and a body about 10 feet long. Its eyes were immense, black, and brilliantly illuminated. As the serpent discovered the seaman gunner he completely turned around, and throwing high in the water a number of the trailers, attempted to take hold of the diver, who backed quickly and was pulled to the suriace.
He dived again with an axe, but the sea serpent had departed.
