1705, an English translation of ''Letter XV'' of William Bosman’s 1704 Dutch ''Nauwkeurige Beschryving vande Guinese Gould- Tand- en Slave-kust'' (''New and Accurate Description of the Coast of Guinea''), published in ''A general collection of the best and most interesting voyages'', by John Pinkerton, in 1814; volume 16, pages 451:

The Haye doth not spawn like other fishes, nor lay eggs (as the tortoise does), but casts its young in the manner of quadrupeds. ¶These fish do no manner of damage on the whole Gold Coast; but as Fida and Ardra, where the slave-trade is managed, they are extraordinarily ravenous, and in my opinion fiercer than the most voracious animal in the world. (..)

¶When the Haye seizes his Prey, he is obliged to turn himself on his Back, because his mouth is placed far behind and low, wherefore he cannot come at any thing upwards. ¶When we sometimes take one of these fish and haul him on board with a rope, we are always obliged to keep a distance; for besides his sharp teeth, he strikes with his tail, which is prodigiously strong, and whoever comes near him loses either an arm or a leg, or at least hath it broken to pieces.
