American* a highly important event The A REAL DEVILFISH FROM JIGHTY DEEP WAS CAUGHT BY DREDGE BOAT- THOUGH SMALL IT POSSESS ED ALL THE LEGS. SAVANNAH. Oet 25—An octopus-^ the devil fish of the story books—was a capture mode by tho government dredge Cumberland, Capt. Thompson; yesterday. It attracted much atten tion about the wharves when the dredgo docked In the evening. It was all there—eight legs, tenta cles as the naturalist calls them, two eyes, with a cruel gleam In them rhat makes It easy to Imagine that the story book yams about the horrlhlo things done by them to ships in far oft sea* might really be true, provided the octopus could bo big enough. This one was twenty-seven inches over all, so that the dredge was not endan gered. Almost everything from catfish to sharks and monster sea turtles hays been known to get tangled up with the two powerful dredges, the Cum berland and the Savannah, that work In the Savannah harbor, but this Is the first octopus that anybody remem bered having seen captured by either dredge. The dredge was working Inside and along near Long Island crossing when the alleged “devil fish” came up through the pump. It was strtngo game for some of the men, hut others who had worked In more tropic waters nt once recognised his satantc flj»h- shlp and he was given a berta In a deck bucket. ^Getting yanked through the pump was too much a shaking up process, however, and It was not long before the long tentacles ceased In their snakelike squirming and the little row of muscular sucking valves on each .. 1 grow still, Tho spirit of the octopus " a “ a bls )ar ot dl,u, ' d schools will close for a week, and the custom house, the consulates, banks and largo business houses will close at 11 a. m. men day.
