October 17, 1904 [LAH]: “Early this morning before the ocean had grown so rough E. M. Hough and S. S. Wilder went out with Capt. Adams in the launch Myrtle, fishing. While out there they caught nine albicore and one of the strange new fish, Coryhaena Hippurus, the third of its kind ever caught in these waters. As Mr. Wilder was drawing in his last albicore a large shark made a dash at it and although there was quite a struggle he succeeded in breaking the line and making off with the fish, leaving the water around the boat gory with the blood of his victim.”
