The Sea Serpent, it is said, is still in Long Island Sound. On Friday and Saturday last, he was seen off Greenwich harbor, (in the vicinity of Captain's Island,) by a number of the inhabitants of that town. He moved slowly through the water with his head raised about six feet; and in his progress, produced a foam like that produced by the bow of a vessel. He appeared to be amusing himself leisurely near and round the Islands, and occupied about ten minutes in passing from one of the islands to another, a distance of little more than a mile.
