The Dreyfus Case, The boast repeatedly made by M.

And why,... not a Plesiosaurus, with the long snake like neck and the lizard like body, which is about level with the water? I remember a descrip-: tion given a few years ago by a Professor (Scotch), whose name, I think, was Anderson, He was out on Lough Alsh, between Skye and the mainland (not far from Campbeltowns, one he saw swimming away from them a creature summer evening in a boat with his wife, when whose body was hidden by the sea, but whose long neck like a large boat's mast, was up. right. There was a tuft round the throat, and the head was like a greyhound's. The Professor saw him turn his head frequently, as though looking for his way out to sea.. No doubt, the beast found himself land-locked, and came to the surface to see where he was. I Emly believe that was a Plesiosaurus, and that the animal that startled the Kilbrannon, fishermen three or four days ago was either the same monster or one of his family.
