The Ceylon Gazette, of the 17-tli of May, gives the following account of a very shocking event, which happened on the cVening of the 11th, near Colombo: " A party of seven young gentlemen luid been walking among the trees near the sea, about two miles south of the Ijort: Between five and six Oichick they sat down On the Shore; without any previous intention ' , of bathing, when Mr. May, of the Ordnance Civil Department, went into the waier;,and• was soon followed by Several others: Mr. May was an excellent swiruirier; and plunginit, into the nearest surf, be (lid not rifle until he was sonic way beyond it. After playing about a shoit time, he struck out into deeper wilier, when. Lieutenant Gray; who was within the surf, and aware of the danger from sharks, called out to him not to go any far her ; at that moment the swell of the surf hid him troM Mr.Grav, but sortie of the party who Were standing higher on the shore, saw him on a sudden straggle and sink. He rose again directly, and cried out, " A shark; a shark ; no joke, no joke ; upon my honour I ant bit but he did not seem to be much hurt, fot he swam with great strength towards the shore. Lieutenant Gray rushed forward to his assistance; and, just as they were near meeting, the shark seized hiM again, but hewas trot palled under water, and only cried out, "I am bit, lam bit." Mr. ' Gray then got hold of him, and at that moment he saw the shat k make a third'iv tack,' They were noxv very near the shore, dna Mr. Gray, with the assistance of amather young man, succeeded in .'getting him.on dry land.

They thought lie WAS fainting, and bronght him some water. which( they pressed him to drink ; he raised his head, opened his and attempted to swallow, but instantly sunk down again, and expired without a groan. The whole of the flesh, with all the blood vessels, was torn away from the back of his left thigh, for a considerable space above the knee. The laceration was so dreadful, that Mr. , ‘liirtitt, the snrgeon, who hastened to see him on hearing of the accident, declared it woad have been i+npossible ttlr~n .the spot. to save teavgeabt effusion of b l lmio) been ,d upon i must have produced immediate death. lie did not,irs tact .survive above two minutes.
