Eiu Turtle On Her Line.

Mrs. A. L. Gordon, OF New York,
has quit fishing at Miami Springs
simply because she was too success
full. She was in boat upset by a
shark last week and was barely res
cled, and today she had an encounter
with big turtle.
After the shark incident Mrs. Con-
don had refused to get into a boat
and had fished instead from a dock
She was seated in a big chair at the
edge of the dock this morning when
there came a tremendous yank on
her line, which was fastened to her
chair. The chair went into the ocean
and she caught railing and saved
herself. Capt. William Diesch, Of
New York, followed the chair and
landed a twenty-six pound green tur-
tie, the first of its sort ever caught
here.-St. Augustine (Fla.) Dispatch
