The fish, three inches long, by a sudden movement, entered the pharynx.

Immediately ensued suffocation, nausea, vomiting, together with the expectoration of blood and mucus.

There was emphysema of the face, neck, and chest.

The fish could be easily felt impacted in the tissues, but, after swallowing much water and vinegar, together with other efforts at extraction, the fins were loosened--about twenty-four hours after the accident.

By this time the emphysema had extended to the scrotum.
