James Ellary of Gloucester, shipmaster, also deposed that he saw the Sea Serpent. He saw the upper part of its head, and about forty feet of its body. It appeared to have joints about the size of a two-gallon keg. W. H. Foster deposed to the animal being shaded in colour, and also to the particulars above-mentioned; and further said, that as he drew near to the place at which he was stationed to observe it, there arose from its head a prong or spear, about twelve inches in height and six inches in circumference, terminating in a point. Mathew Gaffrey, of the same place, also deposed that he saw this strange “marine,” and that its head appeared as large as a four-gallon keg, its body as large as a barrel, and its length at least forty feet. The top of its head was of a dark colour, the under part nearly white. He fired at it with his gun, and thought he must have hit it. It turned towards him immediately, and went directly under his boat, and made its appearance at about a hundred yards from the place where it dived. Several others deposed to these particulars, and Sewell Toppon, master of the schooner “Laura,” said that he saw the “marine” on the eastern point of Cape Ann, being becalmed. Its head was the size of a _ten_-gallon cask, and that it left a great “wake” behind. Robert Bragg said he saw the “beast,” with its head six or seven inches out of the water. He did not see its _eyes_, but when astern of the vessel about fifteen feet, it threw out its _tongue_, which was about two feet in length, and the end was like a harpoon. William Sowerby also deposed that he saw its tongue, and one eye, which appeared large and bright, like that of an ox. Its body moved up and down, and its head wagged from side to side. The colour of its tongue was a light brown. Elkanah Finney also deposed at length, and amongst other things, declared that it appeared to him like a long string of bungs. He saw thirty or forty of its “hunches” all in a line. The head appeared about six feet long. Its _under-jaw_ had a white stripe. It appeared to be at least 150 feet long. It often rose, and it appeared as if fishing for its food. It seemed to move at the rate of twenty miles an hour. Various other persons deposed to the same particulars—one that it had a beard, which flowed down its venerable chops like sea-weed. Another declared solemnly that it had a kind of “swivel eye,” which followed the boat whichever way it turned. One said, that it suddenly rose up into the form of a “steeple,” and that upon firing at it, the ball must have passed through the inside of the “steeple” part of his body. One declared that he saw the end of its tail, which had a kind of tuft or fin, about four or five feet from its “cutter-cud,” and, at last, a large kind of serpent was actually caught at “Prospect,” which was exhibited at Boston as the progeny of some “old serpent”—but this, on inspection, proved to be a “whopping” conger eel.
