Mr.. Joseph Baker il fishermen VINO
has resided many years at Pine Point
and furnishes fish to the Portland
market. The other morning he had
quite an experience. He had set his
seine over night, as customary, and in
draw the net and gather in the fish that
might have been taken by it. He had
not drawn more than portion Of it
when he noticed an unusual oommotion
among the Tapping fish, that all seemed
to be trying to get into one part Of the
net farthest removed from that still un-
der water.
This unusual proceeding struck him as
very odd but he was not to remain long
in doubt as to the cause An immense
fish of some kind had evide ntly been
caught in the Seine. and in it's frantic
efforts to. free itself, had been SO entangled
shat IL was nearly drowned. Its propin
guilty to the boat, however, aroused it's
fear, or Its aggressive nature, and it
endeavored to get at the boat that seemed
to 1t to be an enemy. When Mr.. Baker
got q good look at 1t he Immediately
recognized it as a man-sating shark
that had evidently found it's way from
tropical waters onto our coast. He
seized an oar and went for the shark
which still had enough life to try and
seize the oar In it's oapacious jaw and
break it. But its fierce struggles, with
It's waning strength only served to ex-
haust.it all the quicker and we'll direct
ed blow over the head finally finished
it as the seine drew it's cords tighter and
tighter about it. When killed it was
asoertained that this creature was of no
mean proportions. measuring a little
over nine and half feet ID length, and
of size to have given the quietus to any
unfortunate person who might have fall
en- in it's way before it was dispatched.

on the road this season, but none ex-
coed the popularity enjoyed by the latest
New York success, Annie Pixley's great
