BO'SUN RODE A SHARK
PECULIAR FRIENDSHIP OF BIRD
AND MAN EATER.
Captain Thompson Of w. G. Hall wit
messed Strange Occurrence on the
Last Trip to Hawaii.

Captain Sam Thompson reports hav-
ing witnesses a very unusual sight
while on the recent run of the w. q.
Hall to Lahaina, Maalaea, hona and
kau coasts. He saw a bOatsWain riding
on a sharks back. The daring travel
er was not the steamers boatswain
however but was one OF the peculiar
sea birds which are so familiar in the
tropics.
1t was between Hookena and Hoo
puloa that the odd sight was witness
ed. The first intimation of the peculiar
friendship was when Captain Thomp-
son saw the bird apparently resting on
the water. AS the boat came nearer
he noticed that the bird was roosting
on some object. At first he thought
that it was a piece of wood that the
boatswain had selected as a place of
temporary rest but when the steamer
came within the immediate proximity
of the bird it was apparent that the
thing on which the boatswain rested,
was a narrow object. Capain Thomp-
son took look at the thing with his
glass and to his amazement discovered
that the bird was calmly resting upon
the fin of a huge shark.
The shark was fully twenty feet in
length and was slowly swimming along
when the steamer came up. When the
vessel got within ten yards of the shark
and the bird the bird suddenly flew into
the air and the shark disappeared.
Captain Thompson expected that the
bird would light on the steamer but to
his surprise the bOatswain flew ahead
a short distance and suddenly swooped
down toward the water just as the fin
of the shark reappeared. The boat
swain resumed his place on the fin.
This performance kept up for fully half
an hour until the boatswain and his
dangerous friend were lost to view.
The action of the bird in selecting
such a companion is regarded as very
peculiar. 1t is not unusual for birds to
rest on the backs of whales but the
shark is so universally regarded with
fear and loathing that the spectacle of
/ bird selecting him as a travelling COM
panion is exceptional. The case is si
milar however to the famous rhinOCe-
ros bird of Africa This bird is a reg
ular attendant of the rhinoceros and
acts as a sentinel for him. What par
ticulaT affinity existed between the
/ boatswain and the shark is not clear.
