Ed. Roberts and j. Dutra, two fisher
men, caught a basking shark Sunday
hight. They were about four or five
miles from the shore and had 200 feet
of net out. The shark ram into the net
and got tangled. Fighting turiously to
get free. tile fish only wrapped himself
tighter in tire folds Of the net. The fish.
ermhri let him alone Until he drowned
himself. and With the assistance of sever
boats pulled him into the bay and to
where he now lies near the wharf. The
net was damaged to the extent of $50.
but the men sold the shark to Perez
brothers. SO that they lost nothing BY it.
These basking sharks are not man eaters
and are not all dangerous. The one cap
tured is between thirty and thirty-tiv
feet long and weighs about two tons.
AS the liver Of this species Is about one
third of the whole fislf, the amount of
oil that can be tried out of its liver will
be between 100 and 100 gallons. Santa
