From The Cork Examiner, 28 June 1878 - A MONSTER FISH.--A few days ago while Mr. Timothy Harrington, Causkey, and his crew were sailing in the neighbourhood of Cod Head they espied what proved to be a fish of enormous size basking in the sun on the surface of the water. They approached and succeeded in casting a powerful grappling iron into the monster's capacious mouth, which was wide open. They then succeeded in dragging the fish to the nearest shore, although at first the fish dragged them more than was safe in such contested ground. The weight of this monster of [the] deep was fully two tons. The master, Mr. Timothy Harrington, Knuckane, of this parish, is unable to call the fish by any particular name.--Eyeries correspondent. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
