Show ax ixonisinvi: fish. A BLACK COD THAT WATCHES DIVERS AT WOI'.i;. Many lutcresUog storica are told by divers of their expenencea at the tottom of the Fea. and the curiosity manifested by fish U one of the lhemea?ou which they dllato with aatiefactlon. Tlio fact that certain specie of llsli are of au luquirins, turn of rulud has keen proven beyond be-yond lioult, and a circunutance in connection with the repairing of tbo water pipes in the Narrows adds continuation. SWheu the divers Llewellyn and McHardy first began work on tbe broken mains they ob--crvula Iieh which u.ktu as if it wlonged to t eh lack cod rpccitfc swimming; about them and frequently fre-quently going in and cut of tilt broken pipe. They did not pay mudi attention to It on the first aud aecouU Unjr, but when on going; down the third day they saw it clccly examining the pii the were then working on, tlioy began to give it more cunslderatiuu. Us. the fourth day It was again at the pot, and they there and then dubueJ it tbe inspector. It was always on the spot, either when the divers got there or it i-anie immediately afterward . and remained re-mained till they went away agaiu, and during the time they were at work it olcerrul them with the most afrlom attention, always shifting shift-ing its position as the divers did theirs, in order that it might observe ob-serve exactly how things were done. Tho men on the steamer became very much interested In it and always al-ways made iLquiries when the divers came up as to whether the inspector was batistlvd with the work done. That it docs not stay alicut. the spot except when the divers wcro there and timt It knews the tlmeuf tlieirarrival, Is shown by the fact that on three different occasions when they bad lo go bark unexpectedly tho inspector v.as uot there. Aealuaya turned up next morning, ho ever, as tiaual. l'or seventeen days now the inspector has been watching this jab, asd if any future accident should occur, he will, no doubt, apply for work at the company's otllce. Anyone doub'lug tuio alateuieut of tact cai have It verified by Mr. Nixon or ! the divert. Llewellyn and Mc Hardy. Vuneourtr Seici-.Ulrcr-Uzer. |
