* Sea serpent - monster sighting ?
* Off Cohasset, Massachusetts coast


The back page has a small report noting: "The Sea Serpent has been repeatedly seen this season by our eastern brethren in its usual haunts. At Cohassset, a part of 5 or 6 persons, among whom was a sea captain of no inconsiderable experience, watched his motions for more than half an hour, during a part of which time he approached within 30 rods of the shore. None of the party had the slightest doubt as to its nature."
Sixteen pages, 8 1/2 by 12 inches, very nice condition.
