And Hardness was noted for his cruelty,

WANTED 70 CATCH A SHARK.
They Succeeded, But Not Until the
Fish Had Caught a Sailor.

AAcI SucceeNeNs nut NOT Until the
Fish Had Caught a Sailor.
A fellow never knows what is going
to happen to him when he goes a-fish-
ing in the green waters of the sea. Ad-
ventures trust themselves upon the
Waltonian, whether he will or no, and
when he tells his friends Of what he has
seen or experienced, they smile COM
miseratngly and actually doubt his
word. l re1nember, several years ago,
going on fishing trip down the south
ern coast, and tell you, had good
time during the outing. Fish We're bit
ing nicely all the while, and the crowd,
for. there were others in the party,
seemed to appreciate the gifts set be-
fore us in the shape of fish: One day
we all sailed to location where sharks
were reported to be very numerous.
We wanted some big game, and sharks
are mighty good sport. Well. we finally
managed to hang to a fellow big enough
to satisfy any fellow in the boat, and
in their anxiety to see the fish while it
was still vigorous the boys gathered
lat the side of the: sloop, looking over
into the water. All at once the captive
gave a desperate pull. The tackle,
slipped and the shark took about 30
feet of~ine, while one of the sailors was
AJerked into the water. He couldn't
swim, end his hands happened to come
in contact with the shark line; he
grapPled it with desperation and hung
on like grim death. We began to haul
in the shark, but the fish seemed.
stronger thar ever, and we could do
nothing for the sailor who was out Of
reach. Suddenly he gave an unearthly
yell, crying out that the shark had bit
ten him.. There was commotion in the
water and the fin of the fish appeared
above the water for moment, and the
sailor yelled again, and hecks of blood
arose to the surface. You may i'm
agine how we pulled in on the line, and
in a little while we finally managed to
grasp the poor fellow, who still clung
to the line. As we pulled him and the
line in at the same time, it was seen that
the shark had the fellows leg firmly
between its jaws, and it was wonder
that the fish had not bitten the limb off.
A shot from the rifle killed the fish and
we pried it's jaws and liberated the leg,
which was badly lacerated. The fact
that the hook had caught in the socket
was the thing that saved the leg from
absolute, amputation. The idea of a
man being bitten BY a fish that had
practically been caught was new one
to me and leads me to the observation
I made at the beginning of this story.
The sailor was laid up for a month, but
at the expiration of that time was as
we'll as ever."-N. o. Iimes-Democrat. =.

badly that Aaron, his brother, did
most of the talking for him. 1t may also
be balm to some people who stammer
