LOCH NESS “MONSTER”
NEWSPAPER REPRODUCTION AT PORT CHALMERS
Several Scottish residents of Port Chalmers examined with great interest this morning a picture of the Loch Ness monster in an Aberdeen newspaper. The monster, which had been snapshotted, resembled a huge turtle, with the exception that it had a tail like a shark. The observers of this unique snapshot were more or less impressed, and one of them, who is an old settler at Port Chalmers, but whose youthful days were passed amongst the Highland lochs of Scotland, laid it down as an axiom “that there are more creatures in the sea and in lakes than man has ever seen.” He himself had seen large conger eels feeding on the carcass of a dead horse fully fifty yards from the loch side. When they were disturbed the cels made for the water as fast as any land snake he had ever seen hurrying for cover.
