inconvenienced for some hours ; but there was no other foundation for the story. One evening, after the eel had exercised its power very frequently, and appeared to be exhausted, the keeper in whose charge it was, wished to move it, tub and all, up a short flight of stairs. He could not carry it with- out help, and called an assistant to take the opposite side of the burthen. The man hesitated ; but when assured that nothing was to be feared while the fish was in that state, he complied. Whethe...r it was alarm, or resent- ment at being moved, was not, of course, known, but just as the men reached the last stair but one, the eel seemed to concentrate all its powers, and gave a furious shock. This so frightened the assistant that he let go his hold and fell to the bottom, followed by the tub and its contents. It required some courage to replace the eel in its dwelling, and the man was laughed at, but few would have shown more nerve ; in fact, the arms which held the tub were paralysed by the shock.
