Encounter With a Shark

By the arrival at Newcastle, n. S. w.,
of the barque Athena Information was re-
ceived of the terrible encounter which one
of her crew had with a shark, from which
he escaped by fighting the monster with
his jack knife, The sailor was William
Hyde, who, together with another seaman,
was aloft bracing the yards during the prev
alence of a heavy gale. Hyde was firing
INTO the water, and Notwithstanding the
fearful sea and wind, the mate and two
sailors put of to his rescue in a small
dingy. 1t was three-quarters of an hour
before the craft came near the poor fellow,
and 1t was then seen that he was in a par
italy nude state. A shark was also seen
near him, and was making desperate
efforts to secure its victim. Hyde had hi
jack knife and with it he managed to keep
the monster at bay. When the shark saw
the boat approaching it appeared to realize
that it was about to be deprived of Its prey,
and consequently made increased efforts to
close with Hyde. The nearer the boat ap-
preached the more desperate became the
shark, and while one of the men was haul
ing Hyde into the dingy the other two had
to beat the voracious animal off with their
oars. The poor fellow was at last safely
landed in the boat, and shortly afterward
reached the Athena. It seems that the
shark never got sufficiently close to bite
Hyde. His partial nudity was caused BY
the fall, as Immediately be struck the water
his clothes split almost in two.-London

WARRENsBUEG, August Is.

WARRENsBUES;, August 10.
A heavy storm of wind, accom- panied by
rain and hail, visited Union Prairie neigh
night, causing considerable uneasiness and
much loss of property.
Union Prairie is situated on q high
prairie, on the dividing ridge, or back
bone" between Blackwater and Bear creeks,
and is quite thickly settled. There are a
number of large and handsome dwellings
and we'll cared for farms. Up to yester-
day no cyclone or heavy wind had ever
devasted this populous section, and the
people, though knowing themseiv in a
chosen spot for wild winds, have cOngrat-
ulated themselves on their escape. The
storm of last night came from the north
west, passing over half a mile of open
country after leaving the Blackwater tim
Der, and struck near the district school
house, tearing it down and scattering the
timbers al over large field. The school
building was an old one, and was to have
been torn down in a few weeks to give
place to a new one, SO that beyond the
trouble of gathering it up for firewood no
loss was sustained.
At the residence of G. A. Marks, a few
yards east of the school house, the damage
was more severe. Mr.. Marks has new
dwelling in course of erection, and had
moved his old one 10 new foundation just
north of the site for the new one. This old
house was moved more than a foot toward
the east, and came near going over. Fences
were blown down and some damage
was also done to his growing corn.
Mrs Abigail Robinson lives about half
q mile east OF the school house, and lost
her corn cribs and several yards of rail
fence by the wind. Hail stones. as large
as hen eggs, were found in the yard at day
light this morning.
The old Jewell farm house. now occu-
pied by G. c. Delaplane, was lifted about
four inches from its foundation. Fences
were blown down, corn stripped of its foG-
der, and apples beaten from the trees BY
wind and hail.
Windows were broken, fences blown
down and apples beaten from the tree at the
Gowdy farm house, just east Of the Jewell
place.
At Moses Elliotts' farm, south OF the
school house, hay stacker was blown to
pieces. no two pieces being found together
Hay stacks were blown down and scattered
all over the meadow.
After reaching the wooded ridge on the
south side of Bear creek, no further dam
age was done, the storm being broken. The
track of the storm was not more tlAn q 4
mile wide, but was as severe ON ihe edges
IS in the middle, the damage at the school
house, on the western edge, and at the
Jewell farm, on the eastern, being tie
greatest. The storm here in town was not
extraordinary, and no especial uneasiness
mas m infested
