LOCH NESS MONSTER PHOTOGRAPHED
BY LONDON SURGEON
(Special to "The Daily News")
LONDON, April 22.
The "Daily Mail" publishes photo-
graphs of the Loch Ness monster, which
were taken by the West End surgeon,
Dr. Robert Wilson.
The photographs disclose several feet
of snake-like neck with a smallish head,
corroborating the previous eye-witnesses'
statements.
Dr. Wilson says that he saw a com-
motion iu the water, and the head ap-
peared long enough for him to take four
snapshots.
The Curator of the London Zoo says
that the photographs end the theory that
the monster is a grey seal. If the pho-
tographs had been taken in mid-ocean he
would say that it was a sea-serpent.
The Curator, however, cannot see how
a sea-serpent can have entered a fresh
water loch.
(Loch Ness is in Glen More, or the
Great Glen, which runs in a southwes-
terly direction from Inverness to Fort
William. The Caledonian Canal, which
is today used chiefly by drifters steam-
ing from the fishing ports such as Fra-
serburgh to the west coast fishing
grounds, follows the glen and takes ad-
vantuge of its long fresh-water lochs. The
northern half of Glen More is occupied
by Loch Ness, a sheet of water over
20 miles long and about a mile and a
half broad. On the north side Loch
none Help
Ness is linked with the North Sea by
the Caledonian Canal and the River
Ness; on the south the canal links it
with Loch Lochy, on both sides im-
pressive but not particularly high hills
fall sharply to the water's edge.)
