The Sea Serpent.
On Wednesday, the 13th of March, 1850,
the Charleston newspapers announced the in
telligence that the steamer William Seabrook,
a mail packet betwoon the cities of Charleston
and Savannah, had met, and that the captain,
crew and passengers ha4 made a close inspec-"
tion of the lar-famed Sea Serpent, whila cross
ing Fort Royal entrance, ton miles below the
town of Beaufort. The citizens of this nn-
cient nnd quiet place wore thrown into a state
of tho greatest excitement, and enquiries were
made in various quarters to ascertain if any
further intelligence could be gathered respect
ing so distinguished a visitor. Thursday, the
4th, was a stormy day, and tho fishermen who
frequent Broad River (the local name for Port
Royal Sound) at this season, in pursuit of the
Drum Fish, were unable to make their wonted
appenrnnee upon her angry bosom—it was,
therefore, not until midday on Friday that posi
tive intelligence was brought, from various quar
ters along tho upper shores of Broad River
that a hideous monster of the deep was to be
seen taking his pastime in her briny wave. AH
accounts agreed in representing it as an enor
mous Serpent. One said it had the head of r
Bull Dog; another that it hissed like a Ser
pent; another that it brayed like an Ass ; an
other that it hud a tongue like the Devil’s tail,
which it would thrust out at times; and lastly,
one represented it as n cross between a Serpent
and a Hippopotamus. The accounts were posi
tive and direct, as to the existence of the Ser
pent, from individuals who were entitled to be
believed ; and those who before had been skep
tical began to.give into the general current,
and we are free to confess, that after a conver
sation with a*nautical friend, we yielded to the
universal belief of its being truly a great Sea
Serpent. I at once determined to fit out an
expedition in pursuit of him, Capt. John G.
Barnwell, commander of the Artillery Volun
teers, to accompany roe with a squad of his
Company. We procured a flat, and placed a
tix-poundf r in it, with a full supply of round,
sented his highness as being in that vicinity
At dawn, we moved out into Broad River,
\which is two miles Wide at this spot. It wr»
hard to restrain the eagerness (If the party "
tho general impression was, that We would
find his “snakeship” a few mild* above, and
there Whs a manifest inclination to move up
there rtt mi'flo. The directions were, that the
flotilla should extend itself across the stream,
at equal distances, and float up with the tide,
which was now at its yohng floodi Having
given those directions for the governance of tho
fleet, I opened the sails of the Eagle to the
fresh North wind, and stretched down against
the stream towards tho sea, fearing, like Gen.
Scott, that I might possibly leave the enemy in
the reari It was as yet too dark to see at any
distance. I pursued this course for about three
miles, when tho day was so far advanced that I
could take a survey of all the barbeloWi Noth
ing was to be seem The conclusion was, that
the Serpent must be up the river.' We accord
ingly “wore ship,” und stood up in that direc
tion, after out' consorts. Proceeding a short
distance, oneof the boat hands insisted that he
saw something ahead. Wo strained ohr eyes
in vain—nothing was before us but the wide
water. Wo were running at about si* miles
an hour.* I gavo the helm to one of my boat
men, and proceeded to the bow With a glass,
to look outi I had not been there for more than
a minute when I beheld before Us, not two hun
dred yards distant, the tfiost hideous looking
monster that it is possible for the imagination
to conceive. I shuddered at the thought that
the Omnipotent had Created anything so Un
earthly in its appearance) to my vision it
indeed a ihuge serpent, seventy or eighty feet In
lengthi “Here it is, whatwer it may be, di
rectly before Us,” I exclaimed. The friends
who were with me made Brush toward tha bow
cf the boat, which sunk her bead so low in
water that she refused tq*obey the helm,
ran up in the wind, and we were very i
pitched upon the “vornfint” in the most Unci
moneoUs manner. The sheets were let go, am
the party had to return to their formey places
before we could extricate ourselves from what
might have proved rather an unpleasant intro
duction! I alone held my positidn en the bow
of the boat, which enabled me to have a better
vieWi When within about fifty yards, | had
the indistinct glimpse of a fin, and directly af
terwards I saw the figure change iu position,
and I called out that it was—a Whale. After
passing by, we saw another on our left. We
had run between them. We immediately sig
naled our consorts, and I pursued the St. Pat
rick to assist in bringing her into “immediate
action.” The eagqrqeso of our companions
had been^too great, and they had not obeyed
orders. In order to get a first sight of the Ser
pent, they had pulled up stream, and now had
to pull down against a strong tide. The Tuly
finny obeyed the signal instantly, and came
down to me. I requested the Captainto lie by
the fish while 1 would go and endeavor to bring
the St. Patrick into action. I came up along
side tho St. Patrick, hitched on to her, andf
placing my oarsmen on board, who were fresh,
to assist at tite oars, and spreading, at the same
time t the sails of the Eagle to the favoring
breeze, we approached the fish rapidly. The
St. Patrick was now within eighty yards of tho
shoal pf Whales, for they were four—three
large and a small one. Capt. Barnwell took a
shot with a single ball, but it did not strike the
fish; this he found very difficult to do t the fish
changed their positions so frequently, that be-
oro he could get hit gun to bear they had dis
appeared. He took another shot with no better
success. He now loaded his gtm with bail und
canister. In the mean while, wlpn the action
was going on, I had been busy in fixing up a
harpoon that, at the last moment, I had put iu
my boat, in case something of the kind might
be wanted to assist in securing the Serpent,
having attached thirty fathoms of cord to tho ’
line. I was compelled, for want of something
better, to use the sprit of the Belie as a staff
which was too unwieldy for efficient action. I
took off my shoes, coat and vest. I now told
Capt. Barnwell and my other friends, that 0*
soon as he had taken another shot, I intended
to harpoon one of the fish, regardless of all
risk, and wished to knovi who would be willing
to go with He immediately said he wotsld
be helmsman, ahd two of the oarsmen volun
teered. As$a$ft? Barnwell was about to shoot.
I took my criw %ith me into the. Belle which
was light and moved a short distance
from the St. to observe raWre-adeurarely
