happening in conversation with Capt.
Taylor on the subject Of Taylor's
Submarine dress, expressed apprehen,
sions of danger from sharks and rela.
ted that shark once chased boat,
and the men heated large shot red
hot, and threw it over to him--he
swallowed it, and it burnt out,
whereupon he turned round and
caught it again. and did so two or
three times before it reached the
bottom.
The company maintained their
gravity from respect TO the judge,
until one gentleman declared it was "A
fact; for, said he, friend Of mine was
sculling near the shark at the time.
The shark became SO exasperated that
he swallowed my friend, boat and all,
and he Immediately stuck the oar out
Of the whole made by the shot, and
s,uled ashore! The Judge mizzIed,
and made strait for the door, and has
not alluded to the subject since.
