The see sarpent snaik beats all the snaix that have ever put in an
appearanse yet.
Thare ain't but one ov them, and he haz only been seen 5 times az yet.
The fust time he was seen waz off Nahant, on the Amerikan shore, and waz
seen thare twice afterwards.
He haz been seen twice at Newport, and we are told by the knowing ones,
that he certainly may be expekted thare next season, and all judicious
persons are urged tew engage their rooms at the hotels, in time tew
witness the grate moral show.
This snaix iz believed bi naturalists tew be one thousand feet in
length, with a head on him az big az a two story log-hous.
He mezzures one hundred feet in diameter, and iz 90 feet from hiz mouth
tew the baze ov hiz fust phin.
He haz tew rows ov teeth in his upper and lower jaws, each tooth being
three foot in length, and requires 10 tons ov fish for hiz daily
support.
He coils himself about the largest whale, and crushes him tew jelly, in
about 15 minnitts.
He travels between the coast ov Labrador and the Gulph ov Mexico, and
kan make, aginst a hed wind, one hundred and thirty-six nots an hour.
The crowned heds ov Europe would giv almost ennything if he would visit
their shores, but he iz the _Grate Amerikan Snaix_, and don't hav tew
leave home.
