Inc SwoRp fisu.--rhafe Is at this mo.
mfni, .llng apln Our table, a pieee of willie
oak Paniitng. taken lrola ships ba,tom,
IN which is lmbedlsd tho ponl. say from
three "a lJnr inches long. of the formidable
weapon with which this fish is prnyided.--
The ship from which this piece d wood was
aken Is tho iamehi, oil Boston. Captain
Steel, recently returned itom China. II
was found desirable 10 examine her while
ia one Of the Chinese ports, ior which pnr.
pose she was taken into dock. During the
examination the broken sword OF the iish
was ionnd ia lhc plank, projecting some
two orlhree inches.


This was broken oil ani the aperture
plugged, and on her arrival she was nut
Into the sectional dock here for more
thorough repairs. OF course the piece in
which the sword was imhodded was cut
oai, and I NOW appears that The sword was
driven through tho copper sLealhing ami
was within a quarter Of an inch Of going
entirely through the oak plank, nearly four
inches thick. The sword, probably that
Of a young fish, is sharper at the point than
usual. Some ilca of the immense force
employed may be formed when il is nc.
membered that the weapon is driven across
the grain Of the wood. Lcugihwisc the
thinner was splitter several inches on each
side of the point Of insertion.
