after dark. He took me down the tracks a
piece, when he said that he'd had deuce OF

take then and there for my claim. /
81 told you ia take $40 600; but all tho

that he had accomplished nothing at all so,
after moments reflection, l said would

great surprise he pulled out roll Of bills
and two checks for $1,000, each properly
signed.

HIS LIVER WEIGHED 1WO TONS.
And Ee Was an All-aroupd Big
shark, Too.


And Ee Was an All-around Big
shark, Too.
From the Belfast Age.
1t Is about big fish that l WRITE but it is
true story. l saw the fish, l took his
dimensions by actual measurement, and
saw the liver.
In the annals of Cape Cod, published by
the Rev. Mr.. Freeman in 1868, be mentions
that in 1903 ProvIncetown had regulation
relating to the carcasses of whales. sharks,
horse mackerel. ETC., which required that
they be lowed below low water mark, which
would indicate that these marine animals
were so common as to be in some degree
offensive in warm weather. Many of them
were captured for their oil. Right whales
Welded 20, 40, 80 and sometimes 100 barrels,
humpbacks Is TO 20 barrels, grampus /, or
g. blackfish barrel sharks from gallon to
or barrels, porpoise 2 agallons, and
boatload Of dog6sh yielded about l barrel
Of oil.
Now my big fish was called shark,
though he was not Of the msn-eating or
shovel-n0se variety. n. E. Atwood. dis
tinguished and practical ichthyologist OF
Provincetowa, pronounced the fish liver
shark or sea elephant, and considered 1t
rare. The fish was almost entirely white,
aud as handsome in form as mackereI.
He was caught IN 1867, inside OF whet is
called Long Point forming an outer bound
ary OF Provincetown's beautiful harbor.
The fishermen had spread their seines there
for mackerel. and this big fish had got
them entangled all about him, SO that be
was pulled to the shore, where the tide left
him high and dry. Being at that time
engaged in business in Provincetown, l
was invited to visit tie monster and see
him cut up for the purpose Of extracting
his liver. By the way, all the oil of shark
is In his liver, while that OF whale, OF
course, is in his flesh and blubber. took
rule and measured this shark, and found
his length to be Just 81 feet; the breadth OF
his tail was feet, aud his circumference IN
the thickest part l6 feet.
[ have stated that the liver OF this shark
weighed two tons and this is how 1t was de-
termined: The liver was cut in pieces and
pitched into a dory; the dory carried Ia
tons in weight besides the rover, as has
been proved, bringing here down to her
upper streak; the dory was twice loaded
deep with this liver, and so the fishermen
thought the weight was nearly three tons,
nut 10 be within bounds | concluded to call
II two tons. and so it is recorded IN this
veracious chronicle. After the oil had been
tried out found that it made seven barrels
full and was worth at that time SSOO.
