The size of the fiocks owned by the

28-FOOT SHARK IS
KILLED At LAST
"San Jose Joe" Swallowed a
Stick of Dynamite.
WAS SAILORS TERROR
During Its Lifetime Estimates OF Its
Length Were as High as Forty
Feet-Had Roamed the Coast From
Panama to Frisco.

Los Angeles, Cal.-San Jose Joe is
dead. This may not be of vast impor-
lance 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 Joes death was brought
TO this country b. 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 a deck. In fact, everything
that fell within reach of San Jose Joe
belonged to him by right of might, and
it was this greediness that finally cost
him his life.
At San Jose the succulent red snap
per abounds, and every captain that
makes call at the place gets at least
one mess. Some do it one way, some
aRother, but the captain that unwit-
tingly 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
conference of lead pencil. To these
time fuse was attached, and when
the snappers, hundreds of them. gath
cred close to his vessel after a 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 conclusion 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 a net dip up as many as de-
sired. OF course, this was not sports
manlike, but it was highly satisfactory
to a lot of hungry sailors.
At the time Joe died the snappers
were theresa was the captain. so
was the dynamite and SO were the
sailors.
1t was soon after breakfast The
explosive had been thrown overheard
and all hands we're waiting for the
result Suddenly there was a great
commotion in the water, 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.
