OCEAN LINER KILLS SHARK.
Thirty-fOot Monster Tries TO Ram
Vessel at Sea.

Seattle Aug THE big liner Presi-
dent. when nearing the Umatilla light
ship killed a thirty-foot shark which
tried to ram the steamship.
According to Capt N. f. Cousins and
others on the liner. the shark was max
ing for the vessel head-on when Il was
first seen. Its enormous size attracted
the notice Of those on the bridge and
Capt. Cousins stsrboarded the Presi-
dent thinking the monster would pass
by in a favorable position for being
viewed by the passengers on the decks.
Instead OF passing. the shark struck
the President a blow forward. which
momentarily caused the ship 70 Mbrate
from stem TO stern.
The shark was tossed into the air by
the force Of the collision. and as its
huge bulk stretched lengthwise with the
vessel its length from snout to tail
could be estimated.
