"It seems," says the Gibraltar Chronicle of the
20th, "either that the shark which visited the bay some.
time since has made a coasting trip up the Medi
looking in at the different Spanish ports, or that tililliratlen
these voracious monsters has visited the western portion of
the Mediterranean. The first supposition receives some
colour from the fact that a shark has appeared, in succes-
sion, at Gibraltar and Malaga, sod still later at earths-
mos, where we read in the Spanish papers that, on the
13th, the presence of this disagreeable visitor had induced
the authorities to prolubit gm-bathing. 0a the followiag
day. however, the Carthagesians were able to indulge in a
qualified enjoyment of the luxury, a part of the harbour
havieg been staked off with a row of piles, so that the
shark could at most only get a glimpse of the bathers, with-
I out the power of harming them.
