A Shark Killed by Tobacco.

We had not fshed very long before a
large shark put in an appearance ana
stopped our sport We first knew OF bis
presence by his greedlly snappog eff the
fish from one of my neighbor's lines, having
followed up from the bottom. He executed
this performance several times, and then
the snappers stopped biting entirely. Not
even nbble could we get, so we hauled in
our lines and commenced to pay our atten
tion to the shark. He was monstrous fe-
low, about fifteen feet long, aud be kept
swimming round and rouud the vessel,
sometimes on top of the water and soms-
times away down deep below us, but always
at respectful distance. His reddish
brown body could be plainly seen through
the clear, transparent green water and yea
may be sure he was the cynosure of all eyes.
While we were talking l noticed tho native
pilot every now and then throwing oVer.
board one of the snappers we had so recent
ly caught, and as the current carried
it a little distance clear of the vessel
in fact the intervals were SO regular
that Mr.. Shark seemed impatient when the
regularity was broken by little delay. We
saw that our pilot bad some ultimate object
in view, and it drew our attention to him.
As he was born and raised on this coast, and
had probably served his pilots apprentice
ship as fisherman, he knew how 10 deal
with his inveierate f c, The shark. Any
how, we all thought go, and gave bin credit
for it, and although he die not cay much,
he went about it iu u very earnest manner.
After having thrown over ten small fish, he
selected another little larger than he
others, and with stick Of wood rammed n
roll of chewing tobacco, nearly as large as
mans hand, down Into it's belly and pressed
Its throat together again. He held it ready
to throw, and as the shark came up anz
iously looking for his ish, be tossed it to
him, and as it barely touched the water the
shark turned over on its back aud sucked it
ip. The shark then swam off as usual to
the side of the vessel, and then below u.s.
and was apparently rising again in expecta-
ton of another fsh, when the nicotine CON-
menced its work. His struggles and con.
tortlons were terrible TO behold, as he dart.
ed here and there in blind rage and vom
iting blood, bnt as he swan or was carried
by the current away from us, his struggles
grew gradually less. until it ceased alto
getner. The tobacco had killed him.-H.
