ihmity, Capt. John Collier, with several other
Vessels fsomthe Banks. -Small fares all. ' Satur-
g]ay,May 30, _P._M. about five miles from the
Lights, he saw the Great Fish. He passed lnm
“beam, ,;,1,;,.,,; half a mile di_stant_. He appeared
‘to be lying in a coil, having his’ head about four
feet outof water, and to be about as large as a
barrel. At first sight it seemed to be ‘a wreck 01‘
something unusual on the water, or as a gond0.l_a
turned over._ But while observing him, he gave
several shakes, and threw himself _out -of a coil
and disappeared. Capt. Collier thinks that Capt.
Snow,who_.ai‘r_ived in at Beverly sphr. astern, at
. ‘the time, must have had a better view of him--.-
" We reniar‘ ythatit were to he wished that the

'cess.
