THE SWORDFISH.
From the Nantucket Enquirer.
It it not commonly known by dwellers in me
ropolitan cities and other remote regions, that
he swordfish, the natural enemy of the whale,
s often taken in this vicinity, and that its flesh
s held in auch great estimation by piscivorous
•picures, it always commands!high price ttrour
ish market. To those who delight in devouring
he inhabitants of the deep, a slice of this forroi
table sea warrior affords a meal of great delica
•y. In shape, the swordfish is nearly cylindrical,
landsomely tapering From the head downwards,
md terminating in a wide scolloped tail, in
which, as in Samson’s hair, lies its chief strength.
It has a black and shining skin, without scales,
limilar to that of the spermaceti whale. They
ire commonly from 10 to 15 feet in length,
.weighing from 200 to 500 lbs. The sword, as it
s called, or bone, projecting horizontally from
the head, is the principal instrument which it em
ploys, either as a weapon of attack, or as a means
jf procuring food. This ** sword’’ is extreme
y hard, with a rough, grating surface, some 4 or
} feet long, 5 or 6 inches in thickness wide, two
>dged.and through the centre two inches in thick
iess. This weapon seems to answer the pur
pose of the swordfish, as cleverly as the trunk
•f an elephant subseraaa the convenience of that
is^atious animal.
Instances are quite common of whales being
ound wounded on the under side—doubtless bv
liis instrument; and whale ships have frequent*
y been attacked in like manner. We have seen
i plank taken from the bottom of a whaler, j
hrough which the sword of one of these ti"*h hsd
. . . _„ r....< ,i.„ <i.a
.el. and twice that length outside. Unable .to
vithdraw it, the weapon of course became for
eit, and the head of the adventurous assailant
oust have experienced much pain in parting with
t; for it was found broken off near its junction
vith the skull. So tightly did it remain in the
*ood, that no perceptible leak nccuired in con
lequence, though tjic ship must have had still a
onsiderable portion of her voyage to av( omplish.
From this fact, an idea mav be formetlftf the tre
nendmis force exerted by the Swordfish, bv
ne(ii*of tits peculiarly formed tail, when accenti
ng in a perpendicular direction through the wa
er
Of the habi • >f this Asti, very little has hitber’o
»een known. An cxpei ieitceii fisherman has late
v stated to us some facts in the premises, with
vhich we were much interested. i hey live up
m mackerel, nr any smaller fish which swim in
thuaU—obtaining their prey in a most singular
nanner. Comment i»g their pursuit in a round
ibout stvle, like some cunning logicians, they
ake a wid** circuit, gradually lessening the pe
iphery of their circumnavigation, and increasing
heir speed, until the numerous objects of'their
ippetite are huddled into a close mass—when the
lursurer bolts for the centre, sinking a moment,
hen coming up swiftly, sword first, and com
non I v transfixing three or four victims. Some
ipeiies ol whales, we believe, are in the habit of
turroutiding their prey ill the same manner.—
After the Swordfish has secured one or more of
:he smaller frv, in the mode above reiat.d, he
nav be seen with his head partly above water,
eisurely thrashing his pir/e about, as it were in
)lav, until me Victim IS luril III pieces, wiirn anu j
lot before, he sets about devouring it secundum
idem. Iff almost every other respect this fish
ippeurs to evince but very little sagacity. It
oust indeed be a stupid exploit to stick one’s
torn through a ship’s bottom, without the power
»f extraction—and the sluggish indifference with
a hit'll tuev regard the harpoons and lances em
iloyed against iheir own lives—often coming a9
t wcie voluntarily to receive, a second or third
wound, instead of going off at full -speed to the
m«ls ol the earth, argues no sort of discretion.
When these tish are brought to market, they
ir** cut into transverse slices, ol the ordinary
hickness of a beefsteak—and cooked after any
,f the divers fashioni applicable to any other
ish There is less bone in the body of the
iwotdtish than in the halibut—the back bone, or
ather centre bone running through without
lranclie* or ribs, from stern to stem, like the
wick-of a candle- Their eves much larger than
hose of the largest whales. We have seen
hem, when shipped of the external coat, big
enough to fill a tea cup W hen fi'st taken
rom the head, they may be made to answer the
purpose of a powerful burning glass. With a
i word fish’s eye we once set fire to a cigar in
elPthan half'the time usually required to per
orm that operation by means of a common glass
ens.
One of these gigantic warriors of the deep
vas captured on Saturday last, on the Sooth
ihore of our island, in a manner somewhat re
narkable. He had probably given chase to
lOrae straggling bluefish or scuppaug (pauggv,
is the New' Yorkers call them) which instinc
ivelvW towards shoal water, where the pur
uer*ot aground, when the surf rolled him fur
her up the strand, subjecting bis head and fins
o exposure in another element.
In this situstion he was discovered by two fe*
nates in a calash from Siasconset. It_ certainly
equired some nerve to attack a monster of his
limeosions, grovellingand floundering just with
n his native brine: and the elder of the two felt
ather disinclined to engage in such sport. But
he younger went manfully to the scratch, and
ier companion followed. They took him by the
horn, and by the dorsal—but he wouldn’t stay
taken, in that ignoble style.
At length, after tugging and struggling for hall
an hour—the tumbling billows the only witnes
ses to see fair play, and clear the ring—all par
ties being alternately half in and half out of wa
ter_the amphibious combat terminated in favor
or the assailants. Swordfish had unluckily got
canted sidewise, juvt as one of his antagonists
was advising an abandonment of the battle
ground; but the younger of the fair amazons,
vowed she’d cut his throat first—and seizing this
auspicious moment, she plunged inlo his gullet
the deadly weapon—her scissors! It was all
she could do for the glory of the conquered! So
leaving him with an awful gash in his throrax,
writhing upon the beach, the victors trudged hall
a mile to the nearewLiarm house, where they
procured more effective implements, and return
ing, finished their work, by decapitating the pros
trate sea dragoon, chopping him into portable
sections, and sending about half “ the spoils”—
upwards of two hundred weight—to market.
Funeral of the Late Mr. Kean —The funeral
of this distinguished tragedian was celebrated at
Richmond witn great pomp and solemnity by
the principal dramatist* and actor* in London,
and the several theatrical companies collectively.
The bearers were, McCready, Braham, W.
Warren, Harley, Cooper, - and Dunn. Mr.
Charles Kean wa# child mourner, supported by
Alexander Lee and Sheridan KiiowIpb, Tht
procession was very great. At the church, af
ter the lesson, a requiem, consisting of the two
psalms to Purcell’s Chant in Gminor, uassung.
Handel’s anthem, “ When the ear heard him,’1
and the chotus, " He delivered the poor that
tried,” were then • mg, and the body, followed
bv the principal mourners, was conveyed to the

the retwrn'of tne mourners to ihe hotly of the
church, Kaitlel’s beautilul composition, “His
body is buried in peace, but his name shall live
for evermore,” was sung, and the congregation,
who seemed deeply affected at the scene which
«losed the earthly career of this great actor, whose
talents have >ecuied bio, “ some rights of memo
ry in the kingdom,” then separated.
Hanging for a livelihood —A fellow is goinji
about the village*, near ^London who contrives k
make a very profitable and easy livelihood by
hanging himself. His method is, first, to selecl
some tree by the road side, near the foot of which
he strews a few pieces of paper which appear tc
be fragments of a letter addressed to his wife —
He next suspends himself with a rotten cord,
which, breaking, leaves him prostrate beneath it]
in his situation he remains till some passenger
notices his apparently awful condition.
He then counterfeits returning animation sr
naturally that the sympathy of a stranger Is awa
kened; to whose inquiries he replies with a tale
of distress, tells a long storry of his wife ami
children, and savs he is a reduced clerk on hit
wav home. At Acton, & rlevep'ion of this de
scription was practised lately: the impostor suc
ceeded in gelling himself conveyed free to Bir
mingham, with se- eo or eight pounds in Iris pock
et, subscribed by the humane gentry of the
neighborhood.
