nroved to be. Sharks are lifted over
the seawaIl of the tank by drawing
heavy skid. with a block and tackle,
over rollers placed between two tim
bers, the shark being first dashed Sc
eurely TO the skid.
Last night while attempting to get
the skid under the shark he grabbed
the end of it in his teeth and held t
50 firmly that his Jaws could not be
pried apart with crowbar. and It
was necessary to draw the skid up on
the rollers some distance, thus pulling
his head out Of water. before ne would
release his hold. It proved 10 be
hard task getting him dashed to the
skid. as he repeatedly swung his head
around and sent the men scurrying to
avoid his jaws and tail After an

crowd had gathered to see the fun, the
man-eater was safely landed in the

ever seen there.
