Stamford Mercury, 5th September 1717.
The Letters from Leghorn of the 15th say, that there has been seen in those Seas a terrible Mermaid, or rather Merman; that it shews it self 13 or 14 Foot high above the Water; but if any Boat or Vessel makes towards it, then it makes a frightful Noise, and plunges into the Sea. Several that have seen it, represent it as the most hideous Monster that has been ever seen in the World.
