on the sand beach it was found that the
sharks were gorging themselves on the

they were in they lashed the water with
their tails, and whirled themselves around
in the foam which their movements has
made. A reporter OF The New-Haven
Journal describes the scene One of the
men present stepped out, he says, among
the thousands OF happing whitetish, axe in
hand, and dealt two OF the largest sharks a
powerful blow. But il only stunned them
little. With large, heavy, iron hook in
his hand. having rope attached he then
struck the hook into the nearest shark,
and with dozen uen at the rope pulled
him out on the dry sand. The same oper-
alton was tried on other sharks, until five
of them were making the sand fly, and
swapping their saw teeth in most savage
way. beau pole inserted in the mouth
of one OF them was held as If in a vice, and
pieces of board were bitten in two. The
largest OF the five was eight feet long, the
next seven feet. and the third six feet. As

capacious jaws a shower OF whitedsh One
OF the smaller ones had his head bitten
