| Illustrated London News,October 28,1848. On 6 August 1848,Midshipman Sartoris of HMS Daedalus alerted the Captain,first lieutenant,and sailing master to the approach of a large creature. Captain Peter M'Quhae,described it in his report to the Admiralty: "It was discovered to be an enormous serpent,with head and shoulders kept about four feet constantly above the surface of the sea. there was at the very least sixty feet of the animal a fleur d'eau no portion of which was,to our perception,used in propelling it through the water,either by vertical or horizontal undulation.

M'Quhae collaborated with an illustrator to produce a series of engravings of the encounter. Zoologist Richard Owen suggested an elephant seal | |
