A Shark Tries to Eat a Model Yacht.
Speaking of the peculiarities of
sharks" remarked Rev. DIR. Luther,
"when / was staying at Ocean Beach,
Conn, | witnessed a most remarkable
occurrence. The Connecticut Model
Yacht club were sailing a race on the
Sound, and the custom there is to fol
low the models in rowboats. The
models are from 4 to 5 feet long, carry
ing from 40 to so pounds of lead on
their keels, with sail spread in proper
ton, OF course in a strong breeze it
requires a powerfully manned boat to
keep up with them.
ssWell, on the occasion referred to,
the Rev. DR.. Pullman's boat was lead
ing, and we were following along her
lee in a regular double banked yawl,
having all we knew to keep neal her
in the short, choppy seas. Suddenly
some one called out, Look at that big
fish, Sure enough" the head of an
enormous shark appeared out of the
water astern of the little craft.
''The shark actually snapped at the
boat four times in spite CT all our
shouting and splashing with oars to
frighten him away. Every time he just
missed her stern by about six inches, as
the fish did not make sufficient allow
ance for the speed of the model. The
supposition was that the boat being
painted white attracted the tiger of the
sea, and perhaps he thought it was
some sort of bird skipping over the
water. | was told it was not the first
time that the boats had been followed
by a shark, but none had ever attempt
ed to make a meal of one before. p
