Unicorn of the Pacific A Sea Creature Exhibition Tale
A Curios crowd gathered about the United States Customs Appraiser to witness the opening unit examination of a case from Tokio containing a preserved sea unicorn. The creature, captured alive near Cape Sagami, died soon after, with a deer sized body, scales, tusked mouth, and a six inch horn. Described as markedly different from the Arctic narwhal, the unicorn drew astonished islanders and mused about singing mermaids. A Brooklyn architect’s incidental visit to Rondout ends with a marriage after a church encounter.
