A MAN KILLED BY A SHARK.-On
Sunday last three seamen belonging to the
American ship I. W. Sears were bathing
alongside the vessel, when one ofthem was
seized by shark. The monster first
seized him by the shoulder, but the force
with which he rushed on his victim caused
him to loose his hold, driving the uufortu.
nate man several feet out of the water
The shark again seized him by the back,
and finally by the neck, and disappeared
with his prey. All this happened within
plain view of his shipmates who immedi-
ately lowered boat, and after taking on
board the two other men proceeded to DRAG
for the body. They had been occupied in
this way for some time, when the shark
was observed to rise some distance from
them, still with the body of the helpless
man in his mouth, shaking it, as is de.
scribod, as dog would rat. The mate
of the vessel armed himself with board
ing pike, rowed toward the spot, and the
shark was SO much occupied with his vic.
tim that he allowed himself to be stabbed
several times before di appearing. Think.
ing the animal had received his death
wound, the boat returned to the ship, but
scarcely had she arrived alongside, when
the shark reappearcd as before. A har.
pOon was now taken into the boat, and the
shark allowed himself to be approached
sufficiently near to be struck. when he
again disappeared. Line was now paid
out, and the boat was towed some distance
