CATCHING AND KILLING THE MON STER TUNNY FISH. They Are First Driven Into Enerâ€" mous Nets in the Mediterrancan Sen and Are Then Stabbed and Slashed to Death With Spears. One of the most thrilling and wonâ€" derful sights in the world is that of the tunuy Asberles of the Mediterrancan sea. The pursuit of these great and swift tishes is nota mere tame operation A THRILLING SIGHT. of nettlng. It is a figbt between man and sea creatures such as is duplicated nowLere except in the whale Asheries. The tunoy is a buge mackerel He is a prpaceou fisb, and ‘his course through the seas is that of a destroyer without parallel. So deadly is the tunny to the schools of berring and similar food fshes that be is called the berring hx In our waters Le is known more & erally as the borse mackerel. T a Mien e n oo Sesee e emog mnnon o eitetiet e The tuooy Asheries are distinetly Euâ€" ropean, and they are the oldest indusâ€" try that is known in the Mediterranean sea. To capture them men must band themselves together in large bodies, for fshermen singly could Jdo nothing with these Aishes, which grow toa length of ten feet and weigh over half a ton sometimes. Therefore there is a sys tem of coâ€"operation ou the coasts that are visited by the tunoy, a syStem which dates back to the Pbcenicians, who were great tuony eatcbers in their time. The perfection of this system is due, among other things, to the fact that the big fishes have absolutely ‘regular habits. in normal times they can be relied on to muke their appearance at eertain periods almost to the minute. When they come, it is 4n buge schools that can be seen afar, for they scour the waters like ships of war, and the leapings of their prey and the leapings of their own bullky bodies beat the @eep into white foam and lather. o d Bince they are so esact in Uicit NA!TF its, the Aslermen prepare for them al ways before they arrive. At some desâ€" ignated spot are spread enormous nets, exceedingly dcep and made of the strongest of line. These are not deâ€" signed to catch the tunnics. They are spread out merely to force the fishes to edge in aud in until they are led to the real prison net, which is a vast con: trivance set in an iimnmense square and powerful enough to defy an: thing that swims. As soon as the last of the school has entered this boxlike Inclosure the sides | of the great pet are raised at & sigta.. At Eirst the linprisoued fishds do not show any sigus of alarm, but as the pet rises, joch by inch, from the water depths gleaming. swordlike backs apâ€" pear here and there above the surface, darting with incredible swiftness from side to side of the uet Each instant more of these living blades appear above the surface. Then the fishes begin to leap. Here ene lawuches himself straight out of the waterâ€"200 pouuds of glorious lifeâ€"toâ€" ward the sky, to crash back into the sea with a liaillike blow of sides and tail that makes the ocean echo. Anâ€" other and another rises and falls back. Soou the sceue is as if the abysses of the sea were spouting their inbabit ants, for bundreds of immense silver AGashing fishes rise every where at once within the net. But now a new clement enters. Long, narrow fishing boats push into the inclosure. ln them stand brown men with lances and spears and big knives lashed to poles. Then begins & fight that is terrible to seo. The men thrust madly into the strugeiing massâ€" es of fishes. The tishes leap and roll and dive and leap again, bammering the sea with tails that churn like the screws of steamships and whiten the waves with foam. Before many minâ€" EPRPMER P utes boats and men are drenched with bloody . water. . The surface of the ocean is red. Out of the smoking spray peer faces now and then that are dabbled â€" with blood_ till they look scarcely buman. 2y uw2 MCTVBeTCCIM Oe nens Now and then a man slips and falls among the barried fishes. Then there are loud screams from his companions and cries of supplication from him as be calls to his patron suiut, for It is no joke to fall among those mighty bo:lics that are dashing around in their death throes. . So the fight continucs till In that inâ€" closed space of sea (here is not a fish allve. Every boat is balf full of water and loaded down with living silver, where the slim, piratical bodies of the beautiful fishes lie. The inhabitants of the towns near the scene of this fishing make a fete day of the arrival of the tunny, for it means food and employâ€" ment for many bundreds of men, womâ€" en and children.
