A high English official was coming down tho Bosphorus In his boat, and met from fifteen to twenty large fishes, fivo or six times as big as porpoises, going up tho Bosphorus at a tremendous tremen-dous speed. Thoy had squaro heads, and were certainly not sharks, lao )a at men toy thoy aro "Jannovlrs," which is tho Turkish for "wild boast," and thoy describe thorn as vory fero cious, for they attack boats and live entirely on porpoises. Thcy.havo not been seen for fifteen years, and usually pass up tho Bosphorus and spend a few days In tho Black sea, and thon disappear, having eaten all tho porpoises. Tho fisherraon aro delighted, as porpoises havo been exceedingly ex-ceedingly numerous this year, and fish have been very scarce. |
