Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

A boat belonging to Mr. Catt, brought on shore at Seaford, a few days ago, a fish of an extraordinary kind. Its fins resembled the arm and hands [with finger nails] of a human being, and it had two protuberances or sort of pockets on each breast, which were filled with small fish. When taken from the net, it followed the fisherman round the boat, and in order to get rid of “so ugly a customer,” they procured weapons and dispatched it forthwith.
