a strange commotion in the ship. Then
come the noise of hurrving feet, unac-
companied by the voice of command,
which, breaking the silence of we'll
disciplined man-of-war, and echoing
below, inspires creeping fear of I'M
known evil. There were, too, half
suppressed EXPLANATIONS of alarm, in
which were caught the ominously cou-
pied words: SHARK Boy" In a mo-
ment all were on deck. CHANGING over
the side rail, we saw in a rowboat
moored to the end of the side boom,
few feet from the side, one of the
ships boys, a bright, cheerful little
fellow, standing erect, holding a boat
hook ready to strike. Gliding slowly
toward him, scarcely ripping the sur
face of the water, through which its
broad back could be plainly seen, was
a great white shark-a "man-eater";
such as in former days followed in the
wakes of captured slavers, prizes to
her Majesty's cruisers on the coast.
The crew of the Vincennes stood
aghast, powerless to aid. Some called
to the boy to lie down in the boat;
others shouted to him to pull away.
But. wholly intent on the movements
of the fearfully creature. he did not
hear them. We had not long to wait;
the shark came on, raising its head
out of the water, so that its sinister
eyes could be seen. Pressing heavily
on the vale of the boat, it bore down
the side.
We expected to see the boat roll over
upon the shark, and held our breath.
Down came the iron-pointed boat-hook
give it. A blow, and then a quick
thrust, and the light boat, buOyant as
a feather, slipped out from under the
sharks head and righted herself.
1t was a gallant sight, to see that
sailor boy standing undaunted before
what might indeed be called the jaws
of death. Rapidly and well did he ply
his weapon. The shark, batfled drew
back as il to take measure of the brave
little fellow, preparatory to final
rush which shGalld seal the boys fate.
In that perilous instant. cool and col |
lected, seizing the painter with one
hand while he pointed the boat-hook |
with the other. to ward off the sharks |
attack, the boy quickly drew the boat
under the rope-ladder, and springing
up climbe the boom, along which he |
tripped lightly to the ship.--St. NichO-
