Dragged to Sea by a Shark.

! Nos''oo'"A ANC"os may 4o.}
A colored man named James Ellis
or Elias, tells q wonderful story about
the narrow escape Of acompallion who
accompanied him out upon the beach
last Wednesday morning to fish. The
two men, it seems, have been in the
habit of fishing every morning, at an
early hour, and always to go amply
prepared with hooks and lines adapted
for the capture of members of the finny
tribe of all sizes. On the morning
specified above Ellis and his compan-
ion, Wash --, threw in their lines,
after wading out some distance into the
surf, and according to his usual custom,
Wash tied the line about his left wrist.
A short time aftcrward Ellis, who was
| some distance to the eastward, heard
Wash shouting: tive got him! I've
got him.
Ellis.
II believe it's whale or jewish,
answered Wash.
AS Wash made the answer, Ellis
noticed that he was being dragged for
ward into the gulf, and started to render
assistance. In the meantime Wash was

times struggling with all his might on
his feet, and at other times submerged
beneath the waves. It was then That
Ellis fully realized tho peril of his
companion, having'remembored his habit
of tying the line about his arm while
fishing.
It was M awful moment. With all his
efforts, Ellis found that it would be
impossible to reach the struggling MT \.
Already he had passed the first bar u
few moments more and he would be in
deep water, and not being able to swim,
even if he succeeded in releasing him
self from tho line, he must certainly
perish: Suddenly, however, he was
noticed to stop, and standing upon his
feet raised both hands above the waves.
"Wash," shouted Ellis, rushing for
ward, ''has you done got loose?"
eyes," was tho reply, ''but, Lord
bless you, it was tight squeeze, sure
enough"
Wash replied that when he first
fastened on to it he thought it was q
big red fish or gar, but few Jerks con-
WINGED him that it was either whale
or a shark, most probably tho latter.
At ono time after crossing the bar he
saw it leap out of the water, and it
appeared to be about ten feet long, rs
near as he could calculate. The prob
ability is that Wash will hold his line
i'll his hand the next time he goes out
to fish.
