"So it is," responded Mr. Choate.  "It derives its satanic name from these cephalic fins or lobes which extend outward and upward from each side of its flat head, like curling horns.  When it dashes into a school of smaller fish, these fins whirl about in every direction, and as they are often four feet long they easily reach more than one hapless fish and he is swept into the yardwide mouth of the monster and devoured with almost lightning speed."
