ProfeVsr Urewer. while i mn of great jud:=u:ent _and erudti:on. a::d S an ardent studcnt of Camr: :djtory, eau C hardly ihe considered compevteit autwrye in this case. for he wa.s not wiin miles of tht place whezre th! serpen - peared. nor has he, to my knowledge, t talked with those who s::w it. At events. he has not talked with me aor w%\ith Mr. Silas Sat. who was in the boa with me. Neither did your reporter cc either of us. The theory of our running into a log is exploded by the fact that whatever it was that struck our boat came up near the stern t and we. with out ioa:. were pithcd for ward. Then. too, we both saw the gr:at c serpent Lshhi the water and we unmisnik-e ably saw po'u -s of itsidy in the u ater. t We also saw it raise its he,:d out of the t water to a dit' arce of at 1lat ten fCet and open its mouth :mi eIt therefro:n a red tongue. All this we saw -s plainly as men could who were pretty weal s:i:ii ip and frightened. Captin PhIlps. Mr. Vishire and Rev. Robert ziwy. s-w the serpent, as did also Mr. B. G. Phls of iddle town, an extensive opertor ii o"i. who was 1 tshiag in a boat near the Portland zhore. When its head appeared, it seemed like the rising of a huge fuan-l ouz of :he water. The reptile remained in the river several days, and may. for 1ll any one knows to the contrary. be there Xet. nights after its appearnce her,, ex-Alidr man Dorsey and C. A. Church of Iile ton, were fishing for eels near the steam- t boat dock at that place. when they he .d a s terrible commotion out in the ri-. . Tt i was so dark that they could distingutsh little more than the fact that the water seemed greatly disturbed, and soon began to rock violently from the waves that cane I toward the shore. It was not a passing boat, for that would have been plainly visi blet neither could they ha.ve mistaken the sound of a steamer's paddle wheels. They z did not. dare to row out to investigate. but pulled up thcr anchor and hurried for the I shore. I could cite other instances. if necessary. to show that some strange visitor has re cently come up the river. ILkiev:ng that you desire to get as near the truth as possi- I ble, and desiring to furnish all that is in e my possession for the benefit of the niany I readers of your valuable journal. I ask you c to give me space for this communication. z Yours, respectfully, E. J. STOCKwELL. s CAPT.AlN PICKLEi, SEA SNAKE. ; Eager Men Searching Jersey's Beach tor the Flirting Being of the Deep. GLOUCESTER, N. J., Sept. 20.-Crowds of people -have come here anxicus to se, the sea serpent that chased Captain PIcklec in Howell's Cove on Friday evening. At an early hour yesterday every sail and row boat in Gloucester and Kaign's P. nt I been chartered and scores of white-winged . craft sailed down fron the city. The ob jective point of these boats was llo-vell' Cove and vicinity, and the hope that ani mated most of their occupants was the hope" of killing cr at least seeing the monster. Many of the people who went out in the sailboats took rities and shot guns wit! them, and many of them carried long boat hooks and old rusty harpoons. At one time the broad expause of water be low Gloucester was fairly alive with boats. Some continued the search beow Chesser, but'att dark they all retui-ned without hav ing been rewarded with even a gflimpse of his snakeshtip. Captain Eekley, of the yacht Lily, who saw the serpent below the mouth of the Schuylkill, on Saturdayv morning, started out in search of him earlyv yesterday morning and had not returned at a late hour last night. When he left he e'x-' pressed the intention of going as far as the Bregwater. The 31arine Exchainge was. ck -l yesterday, so it could not be learned whether any of the crews which ceime up the river yesterday had miet the monster or not. Captain Pickle was plied all day long 'with aunestions, and as he is now regarded as a-sort of hero he was oblige-d to refuse I more invitations to "take 7uthin' " than he probably ever before re'ceived. Ihis old spy-glass was in constant demand, as was every other spy-glass in Gloucester. Iron - side bar was under scrutiny as long as the light lasted, antd every owner of a spy-glas was surrounded by a group of' curious peo ple as long as he would consent to sean thec -svater. .p8cal Agent Sloan's Observations. Mr. Sloan took a trip up the Asiey river yesterday, golag as far as Lamb's. on the South Carolina railway, nud1( thence up. the east bank of the river on horseb-acak. ,1 MIr. Sloan reports that most of nt child mansions and historic places up the river have been destroyed. 'Mhidleton .tal" is badly injured, whule Dr. Bakher's hanzdso'met old 2nglish house and the Cohen place are hopeless wreeks. At the Cohen pkee ain' old pixbp which had been baried in a well for years was forcer4 four feet three inches above the surface of theo ground. 31r. Sloan also di'cc,-ereu, between Lamb's and Ten MIile Hill, a iarge hole in which several small pine trees have been engulfed. The hole is thirty-one feet long at its loingest point and twenty feet broad. Whe irst discovered it is sail to have been about nten feet in depth. It has sine'flled up with ;oft. oozy mudI, and is now onlv-about five feet docp. .. 3Ir. Sloan left for Augusta iast meiht. having- receivedi orders from Wanshincw~n to examine the conntry between Augusta and ohnnbia in order to a-(rtamn whether there have been anyr changes tie-e in the marginal line of the geographietd forman tion upon which they have- been operating.
