King of Man Eaters.

A very large and ancient looking shark
has been swimming about Taboga Bay re-
Gently 1t is known 10 The Islanders and
generally down the bay by its marks, and
by those who know it is called the "Som-
berera," owing to it having seized and eaten
man off Anton some years ago under pc.
culiar circumstances. 1t appears schoon.
or was sailing slowly along off Anton Point
when the hat of one of the crew was blown
overbosrd. The man jumped into the sea
! to regain his hat, when he was seized by
this shark, which promptly dived with it's
prey. Subsequently, off the Moro Island,
the same animal was seen to seize the broth
er of the Rev. Salinas of Taboga, while he
was bathing, and to carry him under. No
| further traces of his second victim were ever
seen.
The same shark is credited by the bay
sailors with other deaths, but the instances
mentioned are vouched for by many. The
natives, who claim TO recognize it as an an
nual visitor, speak of these incidents as
matter of island history, dating from the
| period when the factory of the Pacific Steam
| Navigation Company was All the Moro, and
when the animal first acquired notoriety by
eating an Englishman who attempted to
swim from vessel then at anchor there to
another.
All the fishermen have peculiar, and it
appears, we'll founded terror of this animal,
and none will dive in the vicinity of its
haunt, although the water is not over five
feet in depth. In connection with this car
niverous monster, the old inhabitants of Ia
boga relate legend, and in which they ap.
pear to have perfect faith, which is worth
recounting. They believe that below the
spot where be so constantly swims, when
on his periodical visits to Taboga, there lies
valuable coral bed, and when in that vi.
cinity the shark believes it 10 be its peculiar
| duty to keep constant and careful guard
over that treasure.
One thingin connection with this peculiar
legend is, however certain. and that is that
none of the hay divers-and they are all
good men, es they have proved when pearl
fishing-will attempt to dive in that vicini-
ty, and ycu cannot persuade any of the ISL
anders, addicted as they are to the water,
to bathe in that place. This animal, we are
informed, s of the shark species, and not a
marine monster of the fat.headed type,
such as was the last big one caught there
some few gears ago by al Italian man. Of
war which was then at anchor off that sl-
and. Panama Star.
