Row n Mnn Was Killed by n
Swordfish—The Vitality of

Alaska Fisheries.
A bulletin of the United States fish
Commission just issued gives the follow-
ing account. as described in a letter to
Professor Baird, of the killing of a man
by a swordfish:
The schooner Venus is a small vessel
of about twelve tons, owned and come

About 11 A. sr.. when eight miles north- 3
east from llalibut Point. in Ipswich Bay.
n fish was seen. The Captain. with one
man, taking a tlory. gave chose‘ ‘ . and soon
hariiooned the fish. throwing over a buoy
wit a litre attached to the harpootnaftcr
which the fish was left and they returned
to the vessel for dinner. About an hour
later the Captain. with one man. again
took his dory and went out to secure the
fish. Pickingr up the buoy. Captain
Laugsford took hold of the line. pulling
his boat toward the swordfish, which was
quite large and not badly wounded. The
line was taut as the boat slowly neared
the fish. which the captain intended to
lance and thus kid it. When near the
fish. but too far away to reach it with the
lance. it quickly turned and ri red at
and under the boat. thrusting its sword
up' through the bottom of the boat

This display of vitality is doubtless due
to the cold weathers! the time the fish
were shipped and during their stay in
Columbia.

of the Central Station. and published by
the Fish Commission. gives interesting
data for computing the number of fish

that a quart measure will contain I.‘.’t‘r?.v
