Two Men Eaten by Sharks Horrible Tx
perenoes with the VoraeiouS Monsters.


The Liverpool Post publishes the
following:
ION Monday night the American
ship Josephine, CAPT. Mitchell, ar
rived in Cork harbor from Rumados
Cuba, for orders The Captain re,
ports the fearful death Of two OF his
crew, by being devoured by sharks
while the vessel was lying at Ruma-
dos 1t appears Capt. Mitchell had
been on shore, on the Goth of June
| purchasing some stores. Having
transacted his business, Capt. Mitcn,
ell. took his boat, with a fair wind
blowing the rugged sail Having &C,
complished halt journey, accompa
MED by the two seamen, a sQuall
struck the boat, and it was so severe
that she was completely turned over
The Captain and his men were
precipitated into the water. Two
barrels which had been in the boat
were floating about, and Captain
Mitchell directed his men to hold on
to them until assistance came. while
he himself seized the mast, about a
foot OF which projected over the
water The Captain believes the
men did as he told them, but in few
minutes after he heard their cries
On looking around he found the men
had disappeared from the surface OF
the water, and in a minute he saw
oil =
were become red, which left no
doubt in his mind that the untortu~
nate men had been taken by sharks.
The Captain then prepared for the
worst, and at the time he gave up all
chance Of escape as the water ii that
place was actually infested with
sharks. lie dashed himself to the
mast Of the boat, and for thirteen
hours he remained in a state Of fear
fu suspense.
The accident to the boat occurred
at four O'Clock in the afternoon, on
the morning Of the 27th he found
that his fears during the proceeding
ten hours were we'll grounded, for
when the day began to dawn Capt.
Mitchells alarm may be imagined
when he saw two immense sharks
swim ming about him at an oars
length, evidently watching an OPP
portunity to plunge at him. With
these two monsters Capt. Mitchell
remained III this very perilous posi-,
ton for three more hours. The
Captain, from mingled fear and ex
haustion, was getting insensible,
when fortunately about five o'clock
a Lighter which was passing camc to
his assistance. The approach OF the
lighter frightened off the sharks, and
Capt, Mitchell was rescued from bis
awful position in half irsensiblc
state. He accounts for his preser-
walton by the fact that u small por.
ton Of the sail was above water and
wind kept it continually waving and
splashing the water which he says,
kept the sharks from coming nearer
to him than they did"
