BATTLE WITH SHARKS.
\ Desperate Encounter In which
Two Man Eaters Were Slain.

A Desperate Encounter In which
Two Man Eaters Were Slain.
Probably the most desperate fight
which has ever been witnessed between
a couple of sharks and human being
took place at Havana some time ago.
Several fruit peddlers had boarded a
large mailboat, and among them was
a swarthy. bare legged young chap noted
among his comrades as clever swim
mer. The purser of the vessel was stand
ing by the gangway, holding his child
in his arms, watching couple of sharks
that were hanging about the ship. Ac-
cidentally the child fell out of its fa-
theirs grasp into. the water. The father
Immediately jumped overheard and
seized his child, and in moment the
sharks were making for the pair.
Seeing the predicament, the bare leg
ged young buccaneer dropped his fruit
basket and went over the rail like a
fash.
AS the first shark turned on it's back
the invariable prelude to biting its
victim-the young fruit seller rose to
the surface, and. with long, keen
edged knife, fairly disemboweled it.
The other was not nearly SO easily
disposed of. The shark seemed to real
ize that in the fruit seller he had a
dangerous foe and apparently spared
for an opening. Several men on board
the vessel blazed away at the monster
with revolvers, but the young fellow
begged the men to desist, being I'M
nerved by the firing. Fish and man
dived alternately, and when the fish did
make for its foe the plucky boy Owed
and plunged the knife in its side
The water was crimson with blood
when the three were hauled safe and
sound to the deck of the vessel, and a
handsome sum of money was collected
for the victor.
