AN
INTRUDER ON SEA BATHERS.—A few days
ago, as one of the fishermen of Hunstanton, Norfolk, was
employed catching crabs near the shore of that watering
place, he observed something of a most formidable size
approaching him in the water. The tide was receding,
and the man, who was without companions, was within
fifty yards of the shore, but much above the waist in the
sea, when nothing daunted, he struck a severe blow at
his new acquaintance, which he soon discovered to be a
shark! A replier combat ensued, the man aiming heavy
blows at the head of the fish, and the latter fighting with
his tail, with which he struck the fisherman two or three
times severely on the chest. The man, fortunately for
himself, never lost his footing, his presence of mind, or
his strength, and ultimately succeeded in capturing the
monster. The tide continuing to ebb, the shark was left
on the dry sands, where the old man was seen standing,
with much satisfaction, over his captured enemy. The
shark measured nine feet in length, and was presumed
to weigh about 30 stone. The spot on which it was
first seen was close to the place frequented by bathers,
a machine having on that day frequently conveyed parties
there.
