OCTOPUS DRAGS
MANTODEATH
Fisherman Is Pulled From His
Boat by Large Devilfish He
Had Speared.
IS DANGEROUS SPORT
Devilfish After Capture Are Kept Alive
in Salt Water to Supply Win
ter Demand Among Pacific
Coast Japanese.
Sunrise Beach, Wash.—Dragged
from his rowboat by a giant devilfish
which he had speared, Albert Harness
lost his life while several companion
fishermen felt the searching tentacles
of the big fish.
The devilfish season is at its height
in the narrows oil* Gig Harbor, in this
part of Puget sound, and fishermen
declare the daily catch is remarkable
for the size of the octopuses. About
40 grizzled veterans in open trawls
are busy hauling in the traps and
i taking out the devilfish. The devil
! fish, after capture, are imprisoned in
large tanks of sea water and kept
alive to supply the winter demand
among the Pacific coast Japanese.
There is an element of danger con
nected with this kind of fishing that
lends spice to the work. Most of Uie
devilfish caught will weigh around
30 to 40 pounds and vary in the
spread of tlieir tentacles from four
to eight feet. This winter, however,
fishermen have brought in extra large
octopuses. The one which dragged
Harness from the trawl measured 15
to 20 feet across the spread of legs.
Prosaic Occupation.
Catching the devillisli is a prosaic
occupation. In fact, the fish catch
themselves. The traps, spaced to the
dtfpth of water from five to fifty fath
oms, are fastened to long lines laid
on the bottom. Some stretch out 10
miles into the sound, the average be
ing three to four miles. The trap re
sembles a small, loosely built barrel,
which is open at one end and baited
with clams. After the fish has entered
and devoured the clams, it generally
reclines in a tightly drawn bundle to
enjoy perfect digestion. Fishermen in
trawls and dories row over the trap
ping area to haul up the snares. The
devilfish remains in the secluded shel
ter from sheer laziness, until exposed
to the air. Tffien there is a sudden

spring to life and the wiggling of the
long tentacles is threatening. The |
octopus is Immediately speared, but
many are tenacious enough to fight
many minutes.
Octopus meat is worth 25 cents a
pound on the northwestern market.
LAUGHS AT DEATH THEN DIES
World War Veteran Told Friends at
Banquet He Soon
Would Go.
Newark, N. J. —Percy Evans, World
war veteran who, last October 26,
gave a dinner to 22 boyhood friends
and wartime buddies, and told them
that he “felt himself slipping,” _is
dead here.
Evans had to be taken to his “death
dinner” on a stretcher. When he real
ized that he could not recover from
the effects of poison gas, he made
complete arrangements for his fu
neral.
Children's Quarrel Ends Jn Killing;

neighborhood where, the men lived.
Carpenter struck Roney on the head;
with a hammer, police say. Carpenter'
