Being informed that the best guide

him out, the Italian to secure the bait

and about five hundred feet of rope
at the end Of which was a chain and
hook that reminded Ulrick more of an
anchor than any thing else. But at
Gundeandi's signal Ulrick climed into
the boat and the sail was spread to
the breeze and In a short time they
were around the point at MORO Castle
where the sharks are most often seen.
Here Guideandi took in his sale and,
fastening one of the dogs on the hook,
he gave the line to Ulrick and told
him to throw the dog overheard and
be prepared to pay out the line just
as fast as the shark could take it.
The advice was well given for the

was to win. The shark took the rope
almost the whole length before hi
stopped and the boat fairly flew
