His head1 as large as the head of a horse, is shaped somewhat like that of a large dog, is raised about 8 feet out of the water and is partly white, the other part black. He appears to be full ofjoints and resembles a string of buoys on a net rope, as is set in the water to catch herring. Others describe him like a string of water casks. His back is black.
