Doubt and ridícule were awakened by this story, and news- papers of the time rejected it. Some scientists, however, hest tated. Dr. Andrew Wilson, who could not believe that the captain. and the men were lying, was will- ling to accept the explanation that the attacking animal might have been some big kind of water janake.
Sir Charles Lyell made some interesting attempts to trace the resemblance between the sea ser pent and well-known animals. He suggested a line of porpoises, the motions of a giant shark, or a monster seal strayed from its usual haunts. Y
Nobody has ever solved the mystery; but there are still people who believe that the sea may still give up a monster not yet dreamed of waif, perhaps, from Mexozoic seasy or a gigantic form of the living sea snakes.
