The Sea-Serpent: Capell

Captain (afterwards Sir Arthur) de Capell Brooke* collected all accounts he could, during his journey to the North Cape, respecting the sea-serpent, with the following results :- "As I had determined on arriving at the coast to make every inquiry respecting the truth of the accounts which had reached England the preceding year, of the sea-serpent having recently been seen off this part of Norway, I shall simply give the different reports I received during my voyage to the North Cape, leaving others to their own conclusions, and without expressing, at least for the present, my opinion respecting them. "The fisherman at Pêjerstad said a serpent was seen two years ago in the Folden-Fjord, the length of which, as far as it was visible, was sixty feet."
