Strange Monsters of the Deep.
Wellington, to-day. Mr C. Tregurtha, keeper of trie Brothers lighthouse, reports on May* 19th seeing some strange marine monsters. They were about three miles off and at first he thought they were whales but could nob see any spouting, though there was plenty of splashing. Three of them rose from 15 to 20 feet out of the water, remaining in that position for half a minute. Their heads were snake-like, with necks much smaller than the head. They were of a greyish white color. Another monster, like an enormous shark, with two fins behind its head, was also seen, both by Mr Tregurtha and another man named Butler.
