shark Bites on % Mans Leg.

Admiral Kempff has forwarded to
the Navy Department an official re
port, thrilling In its details. Of the
biting off of the leg Of Quartermastcr
s. McKie, third class, Of the gunboat
Annapolis, by shark or other sea
monster.
The Annapolis has been stationed Of
late at Iloilo, and on June "A last n
party was sent out for rifle target
practice. Commander Rohrer. in
command OF the Annapolis, says that
permission was given to several OF
the men to go swimming while others
were engaged In firing Two Of the
men had been in some time, when
McKie joined them and asked II they
had been able to touch bottom. Be
ing answered in the negative he made
n dive and was gone for several sec
onds. one of the seamen says he
heard gurgling sound beneath the
water. A moment later Mckic ap-
peared on the surface and shouted.
SHARK! Shark" The surface of the
water was covered with blood near
where he came up. McKie started to
swim. and, although crippled, reached
the boat and was pulled In by his com
panlons. A horrible sight met their
eyes. the quartermaster's leg having
been bitten off near the knee. With
all speed he was taken aboard the
Annapolis. where the surgeon found
II necessary TO amputate the limb be-
tween the knee aud hip.
The surgeon In his report says that
while the accident was not In the line
of duty. IL was incident to the service.
Admiral Kempff, however. in indors-
ing the papers, holds that as the
quartermaster had received permis-
sion from the officer in charge to 80
In bathing, the accident occurred in
the line of duty. Under the circum-
stances the crippled quartermaster
probably will receive a pension.

Indian, Bear and Roy.

An old Indian named Phillip Adolph
was going on foot across the noun
tains near Caron. British Columbia,
to visit relatives and was accom-
panied by his son and n cur dog The
latter freed silver tip bear of un-
usual size. and the Indian wanted its
hide and incidentally some bear steak.
But his rifle was In his tepee, four
miles away.
Now Bruin will stay up n tree so
long as a dog sits at the bottom. So
Phillip tried to persuade his son 10
return for the rifle while he and the
dog kept watch. But the boy was
afraid Neither would he remain alone
on guard while the senior Siwash
went for his gun. Finally the old In
dian lost all patience. and, seizing the
boy, bound him to the base OF the
tree with both arms clasping Il and
left him there.
When the bear attempted to descend
the boys screams drove him back up
the tree. and there he remained for
two hours until the Indian returned
with his ride. released his son and
laid in supply of bear meat.
