"Draw a short horizontal line." To
John's mind it sound<d like, 'draw a
short horse on a line." Then he

Monster of the Deep. Caught In Net of Italian Fishermen, Drags
Their Boat Out of San Francisco Harbor at a
Speed of Ten Miles an Hour.
The Italian fishermen of San Fran
cisco sometimes have very thrilling
experiences and narrow escapes from
the monsters of the deep in following
their vocations. By monsters of the
deep are meant principally whales,
sharks and sea Hons. Very recently
two Italian fishermen had an experi
ence with a monster sea li which
reads more like a "blood and thunder"
story than actual fact.
Dragged out past leering harbor
lights to sea. Xlcolsl Stotezo und Giu
Beppl Cassonelli fought desperately for
several hours In the clutches of an un
hv. >u u terror while nut fishiug recent

about to give up w lieu a strange deliv
er.::1 v came to them. Thv tide turned
hail oau slit a shark, ami they began
with all haste to pull In the long net,
shaking It vigorously as they did so.
Then the unseen creature In the uet
began straining until the Hues tore
through their hands. The prow of the
boat was almost submerged, and for a
time Cassonelll and bis companion
feared they would be dragged under
water.
Suddenly the Hues became slack. The
thing enmeshed was com lug toward
the surface. They prayed that It
would free itself and so escape, but
they were sorely disappointed. The
lines remained slack for only a few
seconds, aud thou they found that
they were being toweu rupldly out to
ward the open sea.
At first the boat moved slowly, Sut
MOVING TEN MILES AN HOLK
from ebb to tlow, and. obeying some
unknown law or freak of fancy, the
terrifying thing which had beeu grip
ping their net and dragging them to
destruction turned with It and towed
them straight back through the shift
ing sea mist to shore aud safety.
The early morning's sun was yellow
ing the fishermen's big bight near the
old Melggs wharf when a monster that
was "5ot a myth by auy means was
ilowly and with srcr.t efforts drawn in
irith the net Cassouelll, Stotezo and
the amazed knot of Italian fishermeu
they had summoned to assist them
suddenly *aw a large sea lion which
measured nearly IL'Ucu feet in length
snorting, growling and struggling des
perately. eumeshed in hundreds of feet
of the strong netting. When shot and
drawn ashore It was found that the
lion weighed about 800 ponnds.
It was about midnight when Casso
nelll and Stotezo put out in their sail
launch bound fur I.lme point to begin
fishing for rock cod and sea bass. At
the point they let down their net
and had just begun to fill their pipes
when suddenly their boat began to
rock violently. Both thought that they

astern. Then both men began to shou:
wildly for help. Nets an- valuable
things that Qshermet. cannot well af
ford to throw away, ami for this rea
son tliey did not cut it loose from their
boat.
Vainly they endeavored to row In the
opposite direction, but found that use
less. They could not even slacken the
speed of their craft. Out at the heads
they thought that the wind might aid
them and so set the sails so that they
might turn around as they moved for
ward, but that did them no good what
ever. Finally when they thought they
would never again reach the shore the
tide came to their relief.
The as yet unseen monster evidently
concluded that dragging the heavy
boat against the strong tide was no
easy task, so It gradually worked
around and started back, to the Inex
pressible joy of the two fishermen.
They managed to steer the craft up to
the "flshermau's wharf," where the sea
lion revealed Itself and met Its fate.
