THE SEA SERPENT.

[Press Association] (Received August 16, at 9.50 a m) Perth, Aug 16.

For a couple of hours the captain and crew of the steamer Perth watched a fight between a serpentine creature and a whale, off Geraldton. The strange monster at times reared 20 feet out of water with a head like a serpent. The body was like a ribbon, about 6 feet wide.
