AT THE BoTTon OF THE SEA.
A Courageous Divers Ingenious Way
of Evading Sharks Attack.


A successful diver must possess great
courage and nerves of steel. Such a man.
connected with large wrecking company,
was visiting the pearl fisheries ia the Gulf
of California. On one OF his trips in quest
of the pearl oyster he had narrow escape
from fearful death.
He had been instructed never to stir from
the bottom. until lie had looked up and
around. Fortunately he needed the advice.
Having filed his bag. he glanced quickly
about and caught sight of huge shovel
nosed shark watching him.
In an emergency men think fast. Near
the diver was a large rock. He moved
quickly TO the other side of IL, hoping to
dodge the ferocious monster, but the ma
neuyer did not work; the shark watched
every movement, changing his position by q
slight motion of his powerful tail.
Time was precious, and the diver con-
ceived the idea OF binding the shark by
stirring the mud. Under cover of that be
might escape. He worked for dear life, and
bad the water thick with mud in less than
hall minute. Slipping around the rock
again he rose to the surface. having barely
strength enough to reach the side of the
boat, and was hauled on board just as the
yoracious man.eater made rush for him,
