third persisted until 1860, when the

28-FOOT SHARK IS
KILLED AT LAST
"San lose Joe" Swallowed a
Stick of Dynamite.

During Its Lifetime Estimates of Its
Length Were as High as, Forty
Feet-Had Roamed the Coast From
Panama to Frisco.

tance to residents of New York. but 1t
Is the best bit of news sailors on the
west coast OF Central America and Cal
ifornia. between Panama and San
Francisco. have heard in many years.
For San Jose was a shark fully TWEEN
ty-eight feet in length In death. al
though guesses about his size in life
ranged from what he really was UP to
forty feet.
The news of Joe's death was brought
to this country by an officer who has
been many years in the employ of big
steamship company.
Joe's home port was San Jose de
Guatelamala, and his cruising ground
from Champerico on the north to San
Juan del Sur on the south. All that
came to his NAV on that long stretch
OF coast was legitimate prey. Accord
ing to sailors who dreaded him, any
one of their number who happened to
fall overheard when the shark was
near had little chance OF ever again
walking deck. In fact, everything
belonged to him by right of might. and
1t was this greediness that finally cost
him his life.
At San Jose the succulent red snap
per abounds, and every captain that
makes a call at the place gets at least
one mess. Some do 1t one way, some
another. but the captain that unwit-
tngly caused Joe's death had an or
iginal scheme all his own.
Dynamite was what he relied on.
He had sticks OF the explosive about
two inches In length and of the cir
cumference OF a lead pencil. To these
time fuse was attached, and when
the snappers, hundreds of them. gath
cred close to his vessel after meal
and the leavings were dumped over
board. he would throw one into the
very center of the school.
The explosion that speedily follow
ed caused a concussion that stunned
the fish and caused them to float on
top of the water as though dead.
Then It was an easy matter to put
of from the vessel In a small boat
and with net dip up as many as de-
sired. or course, this was not sports
manlike. but 1t was highly satisfactory
to lot OF hungry sailors.
At the time Joe died the snappers
were there-so was the captain, SO
was the dynamite and SO were the
I sailors.
1t was soon after breakfast The
explosive had been thrown overheard
and all hands were waiting for the
result. Suddenly there was great
commotion in the water, a scurrying
OF the snappers in every direction.
and directly on the port gangway ap-
peared Joe. his little eyes hungrily
watching the sailors lining the rail.
