LONDON (UPI) The ancient chronicles say that when St Columba visited King Brude of the Northern Piets in 700 AD he came across the funeral of a man who had been savaged by a water beast out of Loch Ness And ever since that day one might say eager observers have scanned largest deepest and most mysterious freshwater lake for a sight of the aquatllis bestia that intrigued St Columba 1200 years ago Today as every day tourists and others go about their business with an eye on the waters in the hope the inspiration for the durable legend of a monster in the loch will finally surface long enough to be clearly photographed and described The Loch Ness Phenomena Investigation Bureau says there have been more than 4000 claimed sightings of horned sea serpents and all the other grotesques the mind of man can imagine Of these some 200 are worth thinking about Well say 201 for in August 1960 together with half a dozen others I saw something swimming strongly in the lake kicking up a wake like a small outboard boat It was three-quarters of a mile (1200 m) from where we stood at Foyers and none of us could see it distinctly It is interesting that our theories ranged from seals to otters to a school of salmon No one mentioned the word as it disappeared into the shadows across the one-and one-half-mile-wide lake But it could have been and that's the sort of thing that keeps the story alive This has been a thin season for sighting the Loch Ness Monster who only got his name some 40 years ago The local correspondent of the Inverness Courier reported in the issue of May 2 1933 on the experience of Mr and Mrs John Mackay who claimed they saw enormous animal rolling and plunging until it disappeared with a great surge of water" beneath the loch When the editor read this report he said: "Well if it's as big as he says it is we just can't call it a creature It must be a real The Mackays it should be noted happened to own a hotel on the loch and whatever else the monster was it was also a fillip to the tourist Industry None' of the recent sightings (mostly indistinct bulky objects partly rising from the water) added any credibility to the legend But neither did they discourage those who believe Six swimmers who competed in a race in the loch late last summer took the precaution of insuring themselves against attack by the monster the first time their coach said anyone had ever taken out antimonster insurance None of the swimmers was willing to rely on the sign of the cross with which St Columba sent the beast scurrying to its watery lair Loch Ness is 24 miles (38km) long and 975 feet (297m) deep opaque only a few feet below the surface and with currents that do not yield up the dead who drown in the chilly waters Nicholas Witchell author of the most recent book on the monster (The Loch Ness Story) is most impressed by an incident in 1972 when the sonar of the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau boat showed a huge black shape and fish began leaping from the water in their apparent anxiety to be elsewhere There have been photographs alleging to be the monster one of the most famous shows a long neck like a dinosaur's out of the water There is also some film of an object moving through water but neither has convinced the skeptics Tomorrow: Loser on loser nun eaossuroBD rani UNITED Foatlire Syndicate Yesterday's Puzzle Solved: TRUDEAU OH really?
